The Near Witch

Challenge: Read a popular author's first book

I can't be that objective because Victory Schwab is my second favourite author... I'll try my best to make a good review but I suggest reading Misty's because she basically says everything I think in a wonderful way.


The Near Witch is very magical and creepy at times. I love that she used the wind so much because that's one of the things that creeps me out the most.

Also, the characters were very interesting. I LOVED Cole. Victoria does it again, she's the best at creating dreamy fictional boys! He was amazing and sweet and mysterious <33
I had a few issues with Lexi, though. I can understand where she was coming from, and she IS a teenager so you can expect her to be mature and reasonable all the time.
I also enjoyed reading about the witches and all the stories surrounding them.

The downside is that I've now run out of Victoria's book to read until March when I will hopefully get A Gathering of Shadows...
