What a story about determination and the ability to rise above. Grace is one of those characters that you can’t seem to help but root for. There is something about her that has you connecting instantly. I enjoyed the fact that we got to see a bit of her history and how everything started.
The story was engaging. There were a few times I wished it had a bit more pace but I still found myself enjoying what was going on and wanting to know how things might end. The overall storyline was well written and showed some great development. This was a great book that is definitely worth reading.

This is quite a slow build story in the start, creating a bit of tension as you read. Then, around half way through, the book picks up pace and it exciting and action packed. It is suspenseful and fast paced and I found myself really getting drawn into what was happening. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I found them to be engaging and dynamic. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. I will be checking out more of her work soon.

I don’t always enjoy anthologies as I find myself losing interest quite quickly but this is one that I am glad I tried. Witch Switch was such a great story. I found it so easy to connect with and thought there were some great characters involved. This is an author I am slightly familiar with and I enjoyed being able to see more of her work. The book fit well with the theme of the anthology but I felt it also stood out of its own. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book.
