This is a book about a young woman who discovers she’s a witch. She finds herself frustrated by the housekeeping and cooking spells She’s being taught and goes in search of more powerful magic and the truth about her brother’s killer. Eventually, she gets tied up with a bad crowd. It’s an okay story, but there are a fair few plot holes and the “twist” can be seen coming from two miles away. Enjoyable enough if you don’t think too hard while reading.
