Zoe’s running for office but not everyone is happy about it. When she’s accused of assassination, she has to use her investigative journalist skills to root out the truth just days before the election. And she has to learn to fly a broom in her down time. Although I thought the controversy at the center of the story was a little forced and didn’t seem to fit with the current Moon Grove vibe, I still enjoyed this book just as much as the previous ones in the series. The story flows nicely with no fluff or filler. By now the characters are like old friends and new characters soon will be (well, some of them, anyway). It will be interesting to see where Zoe goes from here.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I wonder what adventures Zoe will have if she wins the election for Head Witch. What will the newspaper do if it loses it’s star reporter? What about her schooling?
This is best story so far. The intrigue, war between groups, elections and other surprises. Love how the characters are growing, getting some more depth.
One issue I have is that there was tension between the candidates as I expected. It was like they were forgotten about. Kept expecting a subplot with them.
It is amazing how this story reminds me of current situations in the country. The slogan about wands and witches. The backdoor(?) deals to get things done in government. What do you think?
Usually I say can be read by itself, and probably could but at this point you will have to go back and catch up to understand some of the subtlety that is going on.
This is my honest and freely given review. I did receive an ARC book.
