Bad Luck Charm by Julie Johnson
2.0
Let me start by saying, this book gives great fall witchy vibes. I highly enjoyed the witty headings/quotes from Gwen at the opening of each chapter. The characters were enjoyable, and the storyline itself is not bad, but this just wasn't the book for me.
The relationship between Gwen and Graham just took off too quickly especially considering the amount of time Gwen spent pining/loathing him and him basically ignoring her. He comes across very aggressive, arrogant, and the way most of his dialogue is written irritated me. While he did have a lot of redeeming qualities, the relationship between the two just didn't grow organically or make me tense waiting for them to get together.
I feel like the "who is behind this" mystery got overshadowed and felt disconnected - popping into the story when it was convenient. I did enjoy the ending of that storyline as I did not see it coming...even though I thought I knew.
Overall, I think this will be an enjoyable book for a lot of people, it was just a little too chaotic and disconnected for me.
