    Ugh!

    I kept reading because, despite the predictability of it, I liked the story. But there was so much wrong with it, most notably the grammar. The author seemed unable to grasp the concept of maintaining consistent verb tenses. At first, I thought some of the errors were lack of proof reading, but they were so consistent I had to face the fact that they were made out of ignorance rather than carelessness.

    Another issue, & I could be wrong, but I felt like this was a British author attempting to approximate American teen colloquialisms & failing by accidentally using British terms like "mate" & "Uni." And what is up with all of the characters using the phrase, "Thank gods," as if that is the new socially acceptable way of phrasing it? I, for one, have never heard that term used. Thank Goddess maybe, but gods? I don't think so.

    I really wanted to like this author but felt like somehow this was the idealized life of a teenage witch, written by a teenager. Choosing Salem began to seem like one more cliche. I can only hope that this author will take the time & exercise the discipline to learn grammar, verb tenses, & sentence structure. There is potential but one I fear will never be realized without additional education. Story-telling may come naturally, but the writing does not.

    Boring, pulp trash

    I couldn't finish this book. It almost unfolded like a good story but very quickly became droll. It followed a cookie-cutter mold and lacked any originality. So, so boring.

    Excellent!

    Wonderful YA paranormal romance with witches and vampires and werewoves joining to fight a common enemy. The romance between Lily and Josh is a little too perfect but hey, this is make believe not real life. A great escapist read.

    Great Read

    I loved this story, but just when it was getting good, it ended. I looked for a second book, but there isn't one to be found. I want more!

    Pretty good. Author had a little trouble with verb tenses, and the story line was a bit predictable, but it was entertaining!

    Read straight through..

    At times the grammar was shotty, but the storyline was addicting. I would be more than willing to read the other books in the series.

    I really liked the book, however the ending was too abrupt and unfinished. Still recommend reading it though. I discovered another book that continues the storyline.
