I'm So Not Talking About The Wicked Witch Of The West


I am an absolute fan of The Wicked Series by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie. When i purchased the books they were in a bind-up bundle. Witch and Curse may be one book, but I only plan to review Witch for now.

Holly Cathers is an average girl from San Fransisco. She lives at home with her parents who live a normal, happy existence. She has a best friend named Tina who is also a normal, average girl. But all of that is about to change.

Holly's family and friend are killed in a rafting accident, she is the only survivor. She is sent to live with her Aunt Marie-Claire and her cousins, Amanda and Nicole. Everything there seems normal enough, but it's not home. Soon her sorrow leads her down an unimaginable path that not even her aunt or cousins knew existed.

Holly and her cousins are soon thrown into a world full of magic, witchcraft and a destiny that none of them asked for.

It all begins with Nicole and her boyfriend Eli, brother to the boy that Holly is totally jonesen for. I guess you wouldn't call it that. It is almost as though a magnetic force field is pulling Holly towards Jeraud Deveraux... without either of them controlling it.

Through the Deveraux brothers the girls are pulled into a very dark, risky, and down right nasty battle for their lives. Who survives in this five book series?

This book is pretty dark, but not as dark as the rest in the series. The girls have a lot of hard decisions to make and a lot of unforeseen results and outcomes. I think Nancy and Debbie have a very unique writing style and they also make you THINK. Some of the book is written in french, I myself do not know any french. Some parts I was able to decipher, others I had to look up. But in the end it was all worth it.
