Jinx by Meg Cabot

5.0

Jinx by Meg Cabot follows Jena Honeychurch as she embarks on a new journey in New York City, living with her aunt and uncle in their brownstone.

Will Jean stop being called Jinx?

Jean "Jinx" Honeychurch
Jean is a sixteen-year-old girl moving from her hometown of Hancock, Iowa, to New York City. Her parents hoped that moving to the East Coast might be better than staying where her stalker could get to her. Jean starts off being shy but grows into a person I wouldn't mind being friends with in high school. I wouldn't have cared that she's a preacher's daughter. Jean believes that she is cursed forever with bad luck as things seem to go weird when she's around.

The Story
Jean and Tory, her cousin, come from Branwen, a witch that is their great-great-great-great grandmother from Wales. Tory, aka Torrence, thinks that the witch their ancestor prophesied about is her despite what she initially thought about. It doesn't seem like any of Tory's spells are working...not quite like how they do for Jean. These two cousins have some major fighting happening, but will Tory win? Or is Jean?

Five Stars
I am giving five stars to Jinx by Meg Cabot, along with a recommendation to read it. Ms. Cabot has always captured me with her stories, and this one is no different. I loved all the characters, including the romance between Sam and Jean. Ms. Cabot perfectly brought to my imagination what life would be like being related to a witch and finding out that you may be a witch that she talked about before being burned at the stake.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Jinx by Meg Cabot.

Until the next time,
