There's more than one way to be powerful . . .
It is during a routine school project that Abby Silva--sixteen and nearly friendless--makes a startling discovery: She is descended from women who were accused of witchcraft back in 1600s Salem. And when Abby visits nearby Salem, strange, inexplicable events start to unfold. Objects move when she wills them to. Candles burst into sudden flame. And an ancient spellbook somehow winds up in her possession.
Trying to harness her newfound power, Abby concocts a love potion to win over her longtime crush--and exact revenge upon his cruel, bullying girlfriend. But old magic is not to be trifled with. Soon, Abby is thrust headlong into a world of hexes, secrets, and danger. And then there's Rem Anders, the beautiful, mysterious Salem boy who seems to know more about Abby than he first lets on.
A reckoning is coming, and Abby will have to make sense of her history--and her heart--before she can face the powerful truth.
My Thoughts
Meet Abby, is an ordinary looking girl both school and at home. She has a friend named Rachel who is an exact opposite of her. Abby has a crush on the major hunk in the school named Travis, who happens to be dating the mean girl, Megan. Abby’s history teacher assigns the students with the task of looking into their family tree and presenting it to the class. Abby discovers her family is related to Sarah Good, one of the women accused during the Salem Witch Trials. She became interested and went to the library in Salem and finds this mysterious book of spells. She decides to practice one of the spells, and whoa- she really is a witch.
Okay, so I tried to like this story... I really did. I'm interested on reading an ordinary girl gets her HEA.
But I just couldn't connect with the characters. I didn't really like our heroine Abby, I think she's pretty shallow in my opinion. Though I did enjoy watching Abby figure out who she is and what she is capable of and also like when Abby uses her new found power to challenge the mean girls in school. But other than that, the story was okay.
The story is pretty predictable so I was not surprised with the ending. *_*
This is not a bad book, but I guess it's just not for me.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
