IMHO: the Babysitters coven
The first half of the Babysitters Coven is all about Esme's life and its downward trajectory as mysterious things keep happening and Cassandra integrates herself inside it. It takes that long to get past the blurb & into new territory but there's always something happening so I honestly didn't notice until I wrote this review. The we get some training, a PowerPoint demonstration, and a racing against the clock show down on Halloween.
Here's the run down:
- Cute.
- Snarky
- Vintage fashionistas BFFs
- BFF is the one local black girl who's too cool for her
- Not an angel heaven & demon hell set up
- Doing the right thing is innate feels simplistic and naive to this jaded adult but I understand the appeal. Hopefully this will be fleshed out later, especially given the differences between Esme and Cassandra
- Stupid boys are stupid
- Mean cheerleaders
- Small town football
- Unexpected ending.
- Old spellbooks
- Hot older brother love interest
- Single dad
- Horror movie fans
If there's any negative, it's that I would've gone with different explanations for pop culture "coincidences". But there's a lot more going on here obviously and that opinion of mine might change with the next installments
The Babysitters Coven is a fun romping adventure perfect for fans of YA paranormal like Undead Girl Gang and A Blade So Black with content recommendable to the younger end of the YA readership.
