Bewitching by Alex Flinn

Bewitching by Alex Flinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Synopsis
Being a witch is lonely, but doesn't make you evil, no matter how it appears to strangers. Kendra has been around for a long time, and even though she has dedicated her life to helping people, sometimes the results of her help seem to change lives for the worst. When she meets Emma, she has to decide if she wants to take a chance and help her, or not.

Review
I love Alex Flinn novels, they are like a milkshake, a sweet treat that is easy to eat. I enjoyed Bewitching, but it wasn't my favorite. It was fun to try and guess what was going to happen to the typical cinderella story, and I really liked the twist of prince charming at the end. Unfortunately, I thought that the narrative was a bit jumpy, randomly inserting Kendra's various attempts to help people into the middle of Emma's story. While, I did enjoy the side stories, I don't know if they would have been presented better as a collection of short stories.
My other issue with this book was that I kept picturing the Olsen sister from the movie version of Beastly, making me dislike Kendra for no actual reason. I do realize that this is purely a personal problem. :P

My Recommendation
Bewitching is a fun, fast read with convienent breaks in the story that allow you to set the book down and take a breather. I'm giving it a 4/5 - Wait for a sale/coupon.
