Blurb from Goodreads:
Sixteen-year-old Meredith is fed-up with her feuding family and feeling invisible at school – not to mention the witch magic that shoots out of her fingernails when she’s stressed. Then sweet, sensitive Jack comes into her life and she falls for him hard. The only problem is that he is periodically possessed by a destructive centuries-old curse. Meredith has lost her heart, but will she also lose her life? Or in true fairytale tradition, can true love’s kiss save the day?
My Review:
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest
review. Thanks to Harper Collins UK, Children's and NetGalley*
Meredith's life isn't normal - she is a witch (although she
hasn't used magic for several months) - but things get even more unusual when
she learns about a centuries-old curse, a curse that means Merry has to risk
her life to stop an evil from awakening and wreaking havoc.
Will Merry be able to save the day and learn to control her
magic?
The Witch's Kiss was not what I was expecting. At all.
I didn't like Merry - I can understand her initial reaction
upon learning about the curse but she took way too long to change her mind. I
found her a bit silly but she was only sixteen.
I quite liked Leo and Gran but not enough to salvage the
book.
The plot was okay but I couldn't get on with the writing
style at all - it didn't hold my attention and I often found myself
skim-reading.
I wasn't a fan of the romance. It felt forced and
unnecessary.
I did like the parts of the story that were set in Saxon
times. They were interesting to read.
Overall this book wasn't for me.
