The Bell Witches by Lindsey Kelk
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No

An interesting premise and world but this was rather young YA.
Some books translate YA to older readers as well as young adults but The Bell Witches was not one of them. I know that if I was a teen reading this, I would have gobbled this up but older me could not gel with the immaturity of the main characters and all the instalove. There were so many "I love yous" and after no time at all. All this detracted from the plot which was pretty solid.
I can't see myself reading on because of this.
Audio wise, the narration was single POV with good narration and characterisation.
Thank you to Magpie for the audio review copy.
