This book was kinda hard to get through. I felt myself struggling to try and retain the information. However I did push through and it was a cute little book. I would recommend this book to friends and family and I would tell them to push through because it actually a really good book!

🔮 The story follows Nadia, Maya, Gabbie, and Delali as they stumble into the world of magic on their twenty-second birthday. While I enjoyed the playful tone and imaginative premise, I found the pacing to be a bit uneven. However, the colorful characters and lighthearted adventure kept me engaged until the end. Overall, "Bad Witches" is a fun read with plenty of magical flair. 🧙‍♀️✨

H.B. Akumiah wrote this perfectly and enjoyed the idea of witches in this universe. The characters had that element overall and enjoyed getting to know them in this universe. The plot has a great overall feel to it and enjoyed the way it worked with the world. It was written well and am excited for more.

This book could definitely be turned into a tv show which I thought was pretty cool. I knocked it one star because there were so many characters introduced that I found myself having trouble keeping up with who was who outside of the main three witches. I really enjoyed the world building in this, Also the cover is beautiful

this book was interesting! unfortunately i think i like the cover more than the actual book. it definitely has the potential but it fell flat for me

This was great! I usually stick to more traditional-Fae-type books, but this was definitely a fun read! Witchy excellence, I would definitely read more from this author. The characters were loveable and easy to root for. Props for creativity on the naming of them!

First, just look at that cover. Simple but beautiful (and made me want to read the book). This was a fun witchy adventure. All three main characters were interesting and I'd definitely look for more from the author in the future

I was excited to find this book on Netgalley as I'm always looking for a great witch story, especially one that emphasizes female empowerment and identity. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be the right audience for this book.

Bad Witches takes place a generation after a major catastrophe hit the Sphere, the magical homeland of the witch community. Witches seem to be giving birth to more typics (those without powers) leading to a drastic shift in the Sphere's population and happiness rating.

As the book opens we follow Nadia, a legacy witch from the powerful Nox family, is on the Witch Health Organization's task force assigned to find a solution to this issue. And perhaps there has finally been a breakthrough in the research.

Then we meet three young women whose paths all intertwine will celebrating their 22nd birthday. Maya, Gabbie, and Delali are secure in their lives and who they are until everything shifts that night. An incidental magic accident changes the course of their lives where they must figure out what they are capable of and how to use it.

I really liked the start of this book with the introduction of a secret magical world that non-magical people (typics) have no knowledge of. If we stayed more in Nadia's perspective, I wouldn't have lost interest. However, almost all of the first half of the book is with the Maya, Gabbie, and Delali who act every ounce of immature 22 year olds. As a mid-30s woman, I just could not connect with these three ladies and how it was constant partying and drinking without a care in the world. I think this book needs to be flagged as Young Adult or New Adult to reach the right audience who I believe will really enjoy and connect better with the story.

I really loved this book. It took me a while to get into it, but once I was I was sucked into it.

I love the personality of the characters and the names of the different nail shades that were constantly guessed wrong, it makes it much more fun to read. The plot kept me guessing as well which was refreshing.

I will definitely be recommending this to my friends.
