Title: Spells Trouble
Author: P. C. and Kristin Cast
Series: Sisters of Salem #1
Didn’t make much of an impression
I would like to thank P. C. and Kristin Cast, St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book was . . . fine. Honestly I’m struggling to remember the story; it didn’t make much of an impression. It wasn’t horrible, but I didn’t at all find it compelling, either. Opening the novel with stupid teenagers partying was annoying and boring, and I struggled to care about . . . shit, what were their names. *looks up* Hunter and Mercy. I liked the cat/human Xena, though, she was awesome. The plot and witch lore was interesting, but when it started roping in more and more mythology I grew exasperated. It’s like what P. C. really wants to write about is Greek mythology, as she’s done for decades, but is struggling to find a way to make it fresh. Or just to come up with a good new idea. . . . Lol, I’m trying to think of things to say, but I have such apathy for this book that the only thought that comes to mind is “blah.” I got neither the impression that it was good nor the impression it was bad. It just was.
