WATER WITCH is the first book in the Witches of Westwood Academy and we start off with Rio. Well, actually, we start off with Leanna Stolbright - a magical bloodhound, otherwise known as a magical scout. She finds Rio and issues her an invitation to join the Academy.

At twenty years old, Rio knows about magic. She also knows their bloodline is cursed as both her mother and grandmother died because of it. She is excited to go but sad to leave her grandfather behind.

There isn't a lot of world-building so you just sort of go with it. I would have liked a bit more of that and definitely more character-building, especially between Rio and Magnus, and Rio and Otto.

This was a quick and easy read with plenty of questions left unanswered. I am hoping some get answered in the next book. A great coffee-break book that I happily recommend.

Ron Weasley!
The Harry Potter phenomenon started here! Young Harry, lives in a cupboard under the stairs, all is grim his world, until the world of magic opens up before him, a world in which he's famous, but he has no idea of this!

Captivating
This book is a very easy read, obviously aimed at pre teen and younger. That being said, at the age of 25 I can't even count the amount of times I have reread this, it never gets old. I'm very glad that they kept the film very close to the book and really brang it too life. I love how the book holds a lot more parts that the film missed out aswell, the whole first chapter is almost completely ignored in the film. Makes it more exciting!

this book is the first ive read from this author and I definitely wasn't disappointed one bit. This book will suck you in right from the first page and keep a hold of you till the very last one. This book has very believable characters and the story is just so magical. I just couldn't put it down till id finished it. I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended
