This books makes me want to get back into my witchy-ness!
And I love how unique each character is in relation to their magic! The end part kinda lowered the book from 5 stars to 4 though! Still an amazing book and can’t wait to start the next one!

I picked up this book looking for some Halloween shenanigans', and while this book did not provide what I was looking for, it was still a rather interesting read.
I enjoyed the world of magic that the author built (even if it hit a little too close to home in todays political climate) and the mix of pop culture and techno and witchcraft from Binx was perhaps my favorite part of the book.
I couldn't help but think though that the girls were a little too naïve for their age. As sophomores in high school doing illegal witchcraft I felt they should have been FAR more careful with their secret than they were. It was very frustrating to me to hear them talk about how important it is to fly under the radar, and then cast magic willy nilly at every turn.
While I didn't dislike the book, I am unsure that I will be reading any sequels.

this was gearing to be a solid 3.5 read but that rushed extremely anti-climatic ending knocked it back to a rounded 3 stars status. very low-effort entertaining read, a diverse cast, and a fun ride though I think the book should have been longer and would have benefitted from taking its time to develop certain characters/aspects of the story more. Still a nice lgbt teeny witchy fix!
