I hope you had an enjoyable summer thus far. As it nears the end, my brain is already traveling into early fall so that I can begin thinking about Halloween and sweater weather. With that said, I have just finished a great audio book by Meg Cabot titled Jinx. Back in the days, when I was once a middle school librarian this was a book that circulated many, many times in my library.
Jinx, is a young teen who has left her small town in New York to live with her cousin Tori and her family. Tori, is not too happy about her cousin reappearing in her life, and has a few secrets up her sleeve. She is well aware that Jinx has been granted special powers from their family heritage of witchcraft that skips generations. While Jinx tries her very best to fit in, she soon discovers that the magical powers within her is causing animosity between her and her cousin. As the situation deepens, Jinx soon finds herself in danger and must embrace her magic powers to overcome her cousin's wish to do her harm.
I wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. Readers of fantasy fiction may enjoy it, especially since the general theme is very interesting. As a avid teen reader, I felt it was a little slow to start however the ending made up for it just the same. Hope you like it!
