“While other girls are wearing push-up bras, Channie Belks is trying to hide the fact she’s a witch.

Sorta hard to do after her parents slap a chastity curse on her for flirting with “dirty-minded, non-magical, city-boys.” She can’t even walk by a hot guy without zapping him.

There’s a way to break the curse; but one mistake could kill her. It’s not worth the risk … until she meets Josh.

Suddenly, the threat of death isn’t such a deal-breaker.”

 First off, I would like to say that though the characters are teens, the content in this story isn’t something I would recommend for anyone too young. I’d put my rating on this story at 16+ as it contains ‘scenes of a sexual nature’ on and off throughout the book.

Enchantment’s family immediately struck me as more than a little dysfunctional, and not because of the no-frills lifestyle that they lead. Her parents border on abusive and a little crazy, and it doesn’t paint a particularly pretty picture. Whether or not you’re supposed to, I hated them just a little bit. Enchantment herself fluctuates between hating everything they stand for and acting just like them, something that drove me a little crazy. I like it when my characters take the high road.

The story itself was well written and I enjoyed the style of writing. Apart from a section in the middle somewhere it seemed to progress at a relatively decent pace. There were a few times that I found it a little too predictable, but all in all it was an enjoyable read.

For once, it didn’t end on a cliffhanger; yes there are still a ton of things left unresolved that the sequels need to take care of, but I think the book finished at a good spot. A detail that makes me very happy as I’m finding more and more indie novels finish with a cliff-hanger, I much prefer a little bit of resolution.
