Witchy, Witchy
By Penelope King
Calista is not your
ordinary teenage girl; she has always been blessed with special gifts, like
opening her curtains with the flick of her finger. Though she had no idea just
how special she was until her and her father move to Crystal Cove Estates in
Southern California, there she finds out that she was actually born a witch,
and the lady of the house who has hired her father to be her new caretaker is
actually none other than her own grandmother, Ana. Not only does Calista have
to start a new school and deal with the local bully she must also be on guard
against a group of people who had been cursed with an insatiable need to kill
witches, witch-hunters. Thus begins Calista’s new life and to make matters more
interesting she has been having dreams of a guy she met on the beach her first
day there, making her feel like a love sick child, but there is more to these
dreams than even she realizes.
So much happened in
this first book I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to do it justice. I loved how Penelope
King explained her version of witches; it was very unique and intriguing, that
when the world began normal human being could not survive so the Gods created a
special group of kind hearted people who were blessed with powers of the lesser
Gods. Penelope King was able to write a beautiful love story, but also a story
about a young woman finding out about herself and for the first time in her
life actually having friends that are as close to her as family. The only thing
I wanted more of from this book was the story of her mother but I am hoping
that, that story is more intertwined within the next books. I definitely can’t
wait to read the next book this one was left on such a cliffhanger I am almost
itching to know what happens next.
