"The snow began to fall again, softly and more delicately than it ever had before. It carried with it, the next secret, blowing in the wind."
I am very clearly not the target audience for The Christmas Witch. Or if I was, there needs to be some massive rebranding because this book reads like a middle-grade read that my 10-year-old cousin would find better than I did. It's all just a bit immature and childish with too much 'ABC Family' for me.
This book also left so many loose ends, including the meaning behind the title! That seems like a pretty massive plot point to throw away. Unless more books come back to this, but still.
Choose love, kindness, goodness, and friendship.
