I have no idea how The Lost Sister came to be on our bookshelf. It looks too new to have been picked up at a used bookstore or used booksale but it also doesn’t look like a book I’d have just picked up off the shelf at full price. Could it have been a free review copy that I somehow forgot I had and never read? Oy, I hope not.
Modern witch tale set in New England. Mean girls – really mean girls. Really, really mean girls. Girls so mean that they tried to kill a girl during a hazing ritual (not that all of the girls participating in the hazing ritual knew that death was the real goal, not just pain and humiliation…) Astral projection, dream hopping, sisters who grew up thinking they were cousins, boyfriend/girlfriend problems… everything a good teen mean girl witch book should have.
It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t great. I enjoyed it and if there’s a sequel (which it feels like there should be) I’d probably read it eventually. I think I’d rather read about Cordelia and Maddy’s parents/grandparents than about Cordelia and Maddy again. Tess and Sophie seem really interesting. Abigail and Rebecca along with the evil Kiki. Feels like a much more interesting story, to me.
