Hexed | Michelle Krys | Review
“It's Bring it On meets The Craft in this
spellbinding witchy series debut”
That’s what
it said on Good Reads. Cheerleaders and witches? Yeah, go on then. Bring it on! And it didn't disappoint.
Hexed tells
the story of Indigo, a high school cheerleader who stumbles into a life of
witches and warlocks one day when the old family Bible that her mother
protected is stolen. Indigo always thought her mother was slightly mad with her
ownership of an occult shop and her strange ways, but all is revealed after she
meets Bishop, a handsome stranger, who stumbles into her life with talk of
magic and sorcerers. Indie learns that she is more than just a high school student
in a cheer leading outfit, she is a witch, Bishop is a warlock and the people
who stole her mother’s old family book were sorcerers. Now Indigo must get the
Bible back from the bad guys, and try not to die in the process.
I really
enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, but had the right amount of action scenes
and ‘normal teenagers at high school’ scenes, and the characters were really
great. I actually quite liked Indigo as a main character (which is saying something,
because I don’t really usually like main characters a whole lot), and I really
liked some of the minor characters like Paige, Indie’s next door neighbour. Bishop,
as the main male of the story, was a bit cocky but sweet, if not a bit
annoying, and I can imagine his smile would make the ladies melt. With teenage
drama mixed in with magic and spells, action, death, love, and humour, Hexed
was a good read, and at only 300 something pages, it was a fast one too. If
this book sounds like your type of thing, do have a read of it when it comes
out later this year. I’m looking forward to reading the next one, whenever that
is released.
