Bewitching can be a beast. . . . Once, I put a curse on a beastly and arrogant high school boy. That one turned out all right. Others didn’t. I go to a new school now—one where no one knows that I should have graduated long ago. I’m not still here because I’m stupid; I just don’t age. You see, I’m immortal. And I pretty much know everything after hundreds of years—except for when to take my powers and butt out. I want to help, but things just go awry in ways I could never predict. Like when I tried to free some children from a gingerbread house and ended up being hanged. After I came back from the dead (immortal, remember?), I tried to play matchmaker for a French prince and ended up banished from France forever. And that little mermaid I found in the Titanic lifeboat? I don’t even want to think about it. Now a girl named Emma needs me. I probably shouldn’t get involved, but her gorgeous stepsister is conniving to the core. I think I have just the thing to fix that girl—and it isn’t an enchanted pumpkin. Although you never know what will happen when I start . . . bewitching.

Wow. Just...wow. A well-deserved four star.
I love this book. And the cover is exactly how I imagine Kendra. She isn't my favorite witch, but she's definitely up there in the top five. This book literally blew me away. The...strength of feeling is the best way I can think of describing it. The strength of feeling in her words is awe-inspiring. Alex Flinn takes all these corny cliches and turns it into something original. The woman CAN SO WRITE.
This book reads like a thriller, I couldn't stop turning the pages. The story charmed me from the start. I fell for it hook, line sinker, lock, stock, barrel. The KENDRA SPEAKS were like little slices of fairytale heaven. They were the best elements of the book for me. Her retellings were like a fresh breath of air, inventive and amusing and tragic at the same time. Lisette and Emma's story was good too. Every time you think you know where it is going, the story takes a new turn. It kept managing to surprise me. This book was completely . . . bewitching. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
On the whole, I definitely recommend this to everyone who loves fairytales, or a good read. Alex Flinn has indeed done it again.
