666 Park Avenue
by Gabriella Pierce
**Since I'm not going to post on our blog anymore, I have decided to put and write all of my reviews here on Goodreads, starting with this book.
Review
It has been a month and so after I have finished this eBook.
666 Park Avenue is a story of a witch living in France at first, and moves to New York after deciding to marry her boyfriend. Jane, the lead of this novel, doesn't even know she is a witch, but only learns of the truth through a letter. Then she races through time to learn witchcraft and save her loved ones from her evil, future mother-in-law, who is out to get Jane's powers and will stop at nothing to get it.
The book was fabulous! Not only was it filled with passion for fashion, it's romantic, dark, funny, and magical. It describes New York as a leading fashion industry, a center for wealthy and classy socialites. Pierce had shifted New York from metropolitan city, to jungle of witchy Upper East Side socialites. It's like watching Gossip Girl taking a new twist by featuring witches.
Enough, comparing, let's move on to the story. The story covers much of Jane and Malcolm's family background, and hasn't much of a witchy duel. The only action I've read on this book is at the end of the book. Jane also had a hard time connecting with her witch side, only gaining more powers through a family heirloom. The characters were wonderful. They were created to equate with today's people, described magnificently by the writer. Jane was a strong character despite some flaws, endured much of the times her fiance left her with his horrible family. This book adds Jane to the a list of strong, independent heroines, and you'll know why by the end of the book. Supporting characters were great, and I will be glad to read and connect with them more.
In the end, I was happy, but not amazed. I, for one thing, wished that the author described Jane's powers more, plunging more into the world of fantasy than in the world of aristocrats.
