BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |   ) b00kdarling87 | Jan 7, 2024 | The main characters of this book are the ‘witches’ mentioned in the title and, in my opinion, the Author could have left the younger sister out of the book altogether and it would not have done any harm. She is written as being perfect in a non-perfect way and, after struggling through this book for almost half its entirety I finally got fed up of reading about her heaving boobs and put the book to one side. I did like the character of the Mother; she was practical and quite strong with her elder daughter possessing a lot of her traits. However, these two characters were not enough to keep me ploughing on until the end. Locale description were wonderful, and make the reader feel as if they are walking the dunes, can hear the crash of the waves and, in some instances long for a life in a sleepy small town that the world does not mess with. But again, this was not enough to keep me reading and was definitely not enough to bolster up a lacking plot, if in fact there were any in the book at all. I can’t in all honesty recommend this book to any other readers, except those who are diehard fans of this Author, and I very much doubt that I will be reading anything written by them again. For the pure reasoning of not finishing the book, it now holds the dubious place of being the only one I have reviewed that I did not finish and, therefore, have not given a rating to.

(  ) Melline | Aug 13, 2022 | ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | Well... they might but they won't be the same. A major character exists only in the series and most of the action required her to be there. So... so much about that. What about the novel? It is the first adult novel of an author known for YA and it shows - it is pushing into the adult zone but not because of the maturity of the characters and their actions - it is mostly because of the topics and the ages of everyone. Which is not how you write an adult novel... The premise is interesting enough - a family of immortal witches (which happen to be some well known characters from Norse mythology) is sentenced to spend their lives without their powers and had settled in a small town on the coast of Long Island. When the novel opens, they are starting to slowly push against that ruling, testing the waters and then things start going horribly wrong. I may have enjoyed the novel a lot more if I had found it before the series; with the series in my head, it feels like a draft that needs a lot of revision and color. I am not sure if I am going to read the rest of the series - these Beauchamps are shadows of the ones in the TV adaptation (which is somewhat hard to do - I tend to like books more than I like their adaptations). I am not sorry that I read it but I wish it was a lot stronger as a novel... ( ) AnnieMod | Mar 1, 2021 |
 A decidedly weird mishmash of mythologies, a serpentine plot and a thicket of back stories intertwine as de la Cruz sets up the continuing saga, but it all gels magnificently. Ingår i serienBeauchamp Girls (1)

HTML:"A sexy, magical romp, sure to bring de la Cruz a legion of new fans." -Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author of The Otherworld series From the author of the highly addictive and bestselling Blue Bloods series, with almost 3 million copies sold, comes a new novel, Melissa de la Cruz's first for adults, featuring a family of formidable and beguiling witches. The three Beauchamp women-Joanna and her daughters Freya and Ingrid-live in North Hampton, out on the tip of Long Island. Their beautiful, mist-shrouded town seems almost stuck in time, and all three women lead seemingly quiet, uneventful existences. But they are harboring a mighty secret-they are powerful witches banned from using their magic. Joanna can resurrect people from the dead and heal the most serious of injuries. Ingrid, her bookish daughter, has the ability to predict the future and weave knots that can solve anything from infertility to infidelity. And finally, there's Freya, the wild child, who has a charm or a potion that can cure most any heartache. For centuries, all three women have been forced to suppress their abilities. But then Freya, who is about to get married to the wealthy and mysterious Bran Gardiner, finds that her increasingly complicated romantic life makes it more difficult than ever to hide her secret. Soon Ingrid and Joanna confront similar dilemmas, and the Beauchamp women realize they can no longer conceal their true selves. They unearth their wands from the attic, dust off their broomsticks, and begin casting spells on the townspeople. It all seems like a bit of good-natured, innocent magic, but then mysterious, violent attacks begin to plague the town. When a young girl disappears over the Fourth of July weekend, they realize it's time to uncover who and what dark forces are working against them. With a brand-new cast of characters, a fascinating and fresh world to discover, and a few surprise appearances from some of the Blue Blood fan favorites, this is a page-turning, deliciously fun, magical summer read fraught with love affairs, witchcraft, and an unforgettable battle between good and evil.
