Description
Mean Girls meets manifestation and murder...
A contemporary teen thriller with a sapphic romance, perfect for fans of Heathers, Sue Wallman and Holly Jackson.
Sixteen-year-old Morgana Merrick is all about control. She's the most feared, powerful and popular girl at Avalon Academy, while her half-brother, Art, and his chilled-out group of surfer friends reign peacefully in the year above, known for their legendary beach parties. At one such party, an ugly encounter with one of Art's friends leaves Morgana shaken. She retrieves the box under her bed filled with crystals, charm bags and her Book of Shadows, and asks the universe for justice to be served... As frenemy after frenemy wrongs or irritates her, Morgana manifests revenge upon them - and, to her surprise, it works. She feels invincible. Until someone ends up dead. Is the universe bending to Morgana's will? Or is someone else behind the attacks? And can she find out who it is, before anyone else meets a deadly end...?

Modernised Arthurian legend meets Mean Girls, Clueless, Pretty Little Liars and Heathers, with manifestation and magic - with a sapphic romance.
I loooved this book. It's like some of my favourite things rolled into one. I thought the plot was fun and engaging. The characters were great and interesting. Tying in the Arthurian legend to the modern school life was so interesting, it reminded me of the old disney channel movie Avalon High at times (which was great btw)
I read this so fast, I just had to know what happens. The build up was amazing, right up to the very end and the reveal was great, it was only something I suspected like the second Morgana started figuring it out!
Witchy books are hit or miss for me but this had everything. I loved the Book of Shadows and crystals and all the little manifestation spells, so interesting.
Loved the summer vibes and the beach setting, with the forest and the story about the old witches that died. The romance was sweet, I do wish there had been a bit more, but I think because of the way the storyline was, it worked.
But the epilogue made me sad.
Highly recommend this. Hoping to read this in the summer again cos I loved it so much.

Really enjoyed this book, was very unique. Quick paced however didn’t miss any of the important details of the story, the characters were fun and the story line has so many twists and turns and kept me guessing throughout. Was a quick and fun read.

I am glad I read this book! It was literally like a 90s teen movie and I was as loving it every page of the way! I was hooked from the off and with a bunch of quirky characters I was laughing at so many points too. Loved it!

The plot was great it kept me reading away. I liked the characters in this book as well. and engaging. The characters were great and interesting. This book was read quickly as story was that good! Would recommend this book to my followers on Instagram Amazon and Goodreads! Great read thankyou to NetGalley and Scholastic publishers for allowing me to read this ARC.
