MY REVIEW
This book is BK 2 in the Beswitched Series by Molly Snow. It is aimed at the middle grade aged children to young teens. It is once again a funny tale about surla the cat switching with someone else.this time Srla switches with Idis, much to Idis' distaste. Idis hates her life as a cat and seems to begin to understand how badly she had treat Surla. Will it make Idis truly change her ways? Who knows lol.
So now Surla gets to experience school with Cathy instead of as Cathy as she did in BK1.
Cathy is however very caught up with her now boyfriend Todd. So surla still ends up feeling lonely even as a human.
In this book we are introduced to Jax and his father, Godfrey, who are both Warlocks. What does Godfrey want with Surla why is he paying her so much attention.
Well you will have to find out about Godfreys rather devious plan by reading the book!
Once again Molly writes in a great simplistic way that should make the middle grade reader literally race through the book. Molly also leaves the reader wanting to know what elae can happen to Surla next? Could she Beswitch again and with whom?
The cover adds to the comedy type of feel about the book. The cover features Surla in her mistress Idis' body, after the major makeover she gives the body! in the background I would say it is Jax looking on at Surla.
Did I enjoy the book? Yes at the age this is aimed for I would have literally eaten up the book! Would I recommend? Yes Would I read more? To review for Molly and to help you guys out there with picking your books for middle graders/young teens of course!

Available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk £2.54 (a reasonable price!)

This series just keeps getting better! The first book was off on a rocky start for me, but by the end I really enjoyed it! And this book started off good, and got even better and now by the end of it, I can't wait to read the 3rd book! That is pretty impressive. I love when series get even better, and this one shows so much promise- I just know the 3rd book is going to be really exciting!

The first book was focused on Cathy and this book was more focused on Surla. I liked that, because I think that Surla is more relatable and a better developed character. So reading about her was more interesting to me. Even her witch, isis showed some growth during the book, which I did not expect at all! I thought the story was going to take a very different turn somewhere down the line.

Jax is the guy in this story, and yet again, he is my favorite guy so far! Are you seeing a pattern here? I like everything more, I think BeSwitched Witch is an all around better book. I think it was better developed, not choppy or jumpy in parts. It flowed better and held my interest more.

There were a few new characters too. A new bully at school, a magical force and a whole new drama. This book was even cuter than the first one, and the next one looks like it will be great too! It ended on a cliff hanger and with some of the new characters playing a role in the next story, it seems to be a set up for a great adventure! I am really liking this series for a light and fun, magical read!
