Book Description:
Her mom’s a witch, her dad’s a demon and she just wants to be ordinary. But, when an insidious evil comes after her family, Sydlynn Hayle has to choose to be the normal girl she craves or step up, embrace her magic and save her coven from disaster.
Family Magic by Patti Larsen is the first book by the author that I have read and I am so glad I got to know about Patti Larsen through this tour.
This book is about a teenage witch who, although, part of a coven just wants to be a normal teenager but despite all her wishes to be normal, everything about her is abnormal. Her mother is the leader of a powerful coven, her father’s a demon and then she is faced with a crisis that demands her participation with all her magic involved.
What will happen to Syd now?
Will she ever get her wish of being a normal girl?
Family Magic is all about Syd and her trials and tribulations as a teenager witch. I loved Syd and empathized with her problems. Despite being a witch, her problems are so commonplace and definitely ones that we all have experienced in our lives.
Patti’s writing style is simple, expressive and while I normally don’t like books written in the first person, I enjoyed this one. The scenes just flowed and created a mental picture in my mind. I was able to understand Syd’s life as it was and empathize with her future hopes for herself. The story moved at a moderate pace and kept me hooked right till the end. I read this book cover to cover and look forward to reading the subsequent books in this series.
I don’t want to give away anything but will close my review by saying that Family Magic is an entertaining book that will be enjoyed by everyone. 4 out of 5 to it and recommended to book lovers even those who generally don’t read YA. I loved Patti’s writing style and will be checking out her other books too.
I received the book from the author and the tour organizers and I am very thankful to them. The above review is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.
