While heavy in terms of writing style, Half Witch has a lot to offer those that are in the mood for a modern, tongue-in-cheek fairy tale: high stakes, an amazing dynamic between our two leads that grows into something truly beautiful, and witches that come straight out of your nightmares. Though I wasn't too keen on the religious aspect, the book manages to keep from being too preachy and have it be an element of the story rather than its entire purpose. I would definitely say that this is probably more for the teen crowd, as there are a lot of mature themes being thrown around as well as some disturbing imagery.
