Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.

I really enjoyed this book and recom to fans of the paranormal, especially witches.

Harper and Juniper are my favorite characters although all of the characters and intriguing.

I love the world Casper has created and the plot line. At a some pointbi became a bit perplexed with the characters decisions, but the plot line followed through and it all added to the story.

I recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

Book’s description taken from NetGalley:

The world as we knew it no longer exists. Former enemies must come together to confront an imminent darkness that threatens to destroy everything in its path.

The ban on magic has placed all those with the gift in peril, including those who only seek to help others. Harper Grim, a gifted healer in the city of Westfall in Idrudelia, must conceal her abilities to protect her people. But when an evil force emerges in the East, the king declares all magic to be wicked, including Harper’s efforts to save her country.

Shay Casper’s The Witch delves into the challenges of living in secrecy while holding onto hope for a better future for all those whom Harper holds dear.

I believe that this book would be a good starter paranormal/fantasy novel for teens. While there was a lot of show don’t tell, I think the plot on its own was fun/interesting enough to keep a YA reader satisfied and wanting more. 3/5 stars

Overall this is a great book. I found it engaging for the most part but for me, some sections just fell flat of what I was expecting. Overall, this is a good book for a teen or someone who likes novels that follow the show don't tell rule.
