In my teenage years I read a lot of books about witches,
Wicca and magic. I just loved every book involving one or three of those
things. Lately I haven’t read many books about witches and magic. I don’t come
across them as much anymore, but I also just didn’t really feel like it. Maybe
because I’m getting older and don’t like reading about ‘young’ witches as much
as when I myself was ‘younger’. To be completely honest, I just didn’t really
know what to expect when I started reading this book. But since the book
description sounded really fun I really wanted to give it a try and see what I
would think.

‘Family Magic’ won 1st place in World’s Best Story contest

In this book we meet young Sydlynn Hayle, daughter of a
witch and a demon who both are very powerful. But all Syd really wants is to be
normal. Everything about being a half witch half demon and magic, just sounds
horrible to her. All her life, Syd has fought against her destiny and her
families wishes, but when her family is in danger Syd has to make a tough
decision.

This book is very easy to follow. The writing is easy but
interesting and I soon felt like I had been reading about Syd and her
family for a while. I really felt like I knew her character. Although this is a
story about magic and witches, it felt more like a YA novel about how teenagers
struggle with finding their own path. Syd is a girl who always felt like she
didn’t belong. Not with her family and not with the people on her school. I loved
reading about her life and how she had to grow up fast.

Although Syd had some childish and petty responses when
it comes to her mother and being a witch, I still really liked her character. I
definitely would have wanted to be her friend when I was a teenager.

This book is fast-paced and never gets boring. I really
liked it. It was fun and interesting and I felt like I just needed to
keep reading. This book is definitely one I would read again and I recommend it
to all YA lovers, even the ones who don’t really like fantasy. It’s just an
awesome read.
