The Witch Haven, by Sasha Peyton Smith

5.0

Frances has never had an easy life, after her brother's mysterious death and her mother was confined to a Sanitarium , France was left to fend for herself. It only took one occurence for her to realize that she was different, an occurrence that would ignite her magic.

Wheeled to Haxahaven Academy by Maxine and Helen, under pretense. She soon finds out that this will be her new home a place she will learn to practice and craft her magic safely. All goes well till she receives little notes on her pillow, little happenings that look as coincidences. But Frances is so consumed with grief and determined to make contact with her brother that she doesn't comprehend the risks she is taking or the lives she is putting at risk.

This was such a beautifully written book, I enjoyed every aspect even though I could smell the trouble brewing, just reading how the story would unfold was exciting. Bonus magic and witches made this read really exciting.
