A cute little story about a girl who, in a fit of rage, finds out she's a witch and is taken to a remote college to train her abilities. It's a quick read and the first in a promising teen/young adult series. I will probably read the second book when it's released, but it won't be a nail-biting wait. ( )

Iris Archer discovers she's a witch. She's is taken away to school where she meets Luke. She also meets other witches and learns who she can trust and who is not worth it. I love the twists in this book. The world that is being built around the witches is very fun and interesting for me. What else could the author have planed for Iris and Luke in the next book? * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review* ( )

I loved what I have read so far. I got sucked in and was very disappointed that it was over. I loved the characters and the conflict and passion. I want to know more of the history of the school and the characters and how Iris came to be. Its a great book and I cant wait to see what else happens. Has all the elements of awesome! ( )

It's hard to say how I feel about this book. The first three chapters very nearly convinced me to stop reading it entirely. It's written entirely in first person, a style I dislike unless it's handled extraordinarily well, and full of cliches ("My heart hammers in my throat", "My mind reels", etc.). The heroine walks in on her boyfriend having sex with another girl and has a fit. Only her fit involves throwing people around and setting things on fire. With her mind. And almost as soon as that's done, a mysterious woman pops up out of nowhere and offers to take our heroine away from everything to a special school. I felt like an afterschool special, yelling in my head, "Don't trust her! She's a stranger!"

But the book gets much better from there. The school is real and not a trick, and she does learn magic there. There's also a lot of other people there, some of whom are complete jerks. And of course she falls for one of the complete jerks, as her choice of previous boyfriend demonstrates her affinity for them.

The book breaks off just as things are getting really interesting, which is a shame, as I was just starting to like it, despite its obvious flaws.

I received an electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ( )

This spicy novel’s main character is Iris, a witch who has just awakened to her witchy abilities. She is whisked off to attend Juniper Hall, a college for witches, located somewhere in the Cascades. She encounters difficulties with classmates as the new girl, meets someone to fall for and has adventures aplenty in what I have since learned is just the first chapter of a book. The chapter left me wanting to read more. I felt it had a bit of the Harry Potter series feel but for a more young adult audience. ( )
