Our Academy of Magic was invited by another one to a Christmas masquerade ball. That should be fun.
Or I thought it would be. But so far I wasn’t sure if my three friends and I
would make it there.
While the whole Academy was already on their way to Pittsburgh for the ball,
someone conjured mystical powers to prevent our arrival.
Every step forward threw us two steps back, and our efforts to catch up with
the others took us even farther from our destination.
What the heck? Was this some Christmas joke? Or was someone trying to punish
us, or even avenge or challenge?
The four of us decided we would make it to that party no matter what. We were
witches, and whatever or whoever was doing this to us was about to taste our—
Oh, come on, we’d already bought our dresses.
Review:
Lovely, magical novella from my favourite magical author and even better – it’s set at Christmas time.
It has it all: four naughty witches, mystery evil Santa, secrets that need to be told, castles, boys, sexy/mysterious guy called Caleb and a magical ball! Trust me, you don’t need anything else (perhaps mulled wine on the side).
Ali and her three friends are the last ones leaving their magical academy to go to the ball. At least that’s what they are trying to do when the gates are shut and they get locked in the grounds of their school by an evil Santa, summoned by someone that is not the girl’s biggest fan.
All four girls have secrets that won’t stay locked in if they want their freedom back. They each think their secret is the worst until Ali speaks and finally reveals the truth. But that’s not the end of it and Ali has to work a little harder to find out what really is going on and when she does, she has some choices to make.
Great twists and turns, lovely setting throughout the book. This is a fabulous, quick Christmas read with some magic thrown in for good measure. And I am kind of hoping there’ll be a second book!
Thank you to the author and TBConFB.
