Hi Everyone! Happy Friday :D Today, Darkest Addictions welcomes the Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft Tour. Here today, I'll be helping to promote the book, my review for this one will be up hopefully by this weekend, life's been a little hectic for me, so unfortunately I don't have it yet. I am however reading this book, and I'll talk a little about what I think of it in place of my review. And last but definitely not least, I'll be hosting a giveaway for both an ebook copy of Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft (INT), and a SIGNED paperback copy as well (US ONLY). So here we go, happy reading everyone! :)
Format: PDF, 197 pages
Release Date: June 30th 2012
Publisher: Magic Genie Books
Synopsis:Falling in Love, baking a magical cake, fighting an evil necromancer—it’s all in a day’s work for Audrey Oliver, seventeen-year-old witch-in-training. When her mother goes missing and her twenty-one-year-old witchy cousin shows up out of the blue, Audrey knows something’s gone horribly, dangerously wrong. Now it’s up to her to get her own magical powers up to speed before everyone she loves is destroyed by the sorcerer intricately connected to her mother’s secret past.
So Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft is about seventeen year old Audrey discovering her mother's a witch, which in turn makes her one as well. So far, I'm about 20% in and I'm definitely engaged w/ this book. The writing is flawless, and I'm not getting information overload about the characters, their back story, and the purpose, which in turn is making this a very fun and light read. I haven't read many "witchy" books, so I don't have much to base this one on, but so far, nothing's ringing any five-alarm bells in my head ;) I like the characters so far, I don't feel any hostility towards them yet xD I can't wait to see this story develop! :)
