Three witches; Abdy, Jolene, and Claire; have their house broken into and some magical items were stolen. Now they are on a road trip to get their stuff back, but there is something dark on the rise.
The graphics are very pretty, I'm really happy that the main characters are diverse and have realistic bodies. They have their own personality and powers. One thing that this story does that I don't really see in other stories that use magic in the modern world is the uses of technology. And they blend it together really well It's wonderful to read and I want more!
But that's also a bit of a problem with the story. Your kind of thrown into this world that you don't know how it works and theses characters that you don't know. Though you get to know the characters the world is still a bit confusing. Sometimes things are implied for example one has to be born with the ability to do magic and there is this kind pure blood magic thing like in Harry Potter. Yet theses three go around casually telling people they are witches. So are witches and wizards accepted in this world? They talk about some people have more power than others. What is the extent of there powers?
The ending the bad guy is reviled and it really comes out of nowhere. This person was mentioned very briefly in the story the I literally for got that they mentioned this person. Plus there motives make no sense. It really feels like some of the story was missing; It's a short read. This would have gotten 5 stars from me if it wasn't for the ending.
The ending was left open ended for a sequel, but to be honest I would love a prequel where it shows how these three came together.
