Life's a Witch | Book by Brittany Geragotelis | Official Publisher Page | Simon & Schuster

I read Life's a Witch during the short time span it had been available as a cheap and self-published Kindle version on Amazon — that is after its supposed stellar success on the novel writing platform Wattpad. I also glimpse with lots of skepsis towards the 15 Million readers the novel boasts to have attracted and satisfied as it was born and developed on the writing platform Wattpad. When I had a look, only comments were attached to the entry — and a lot of them reactions of the author to every praise and question.

I admit I am not familiar with how the community works, but I guess readers rather mean clicks, because A I certainly have been tempted more than just once to stop reading and to delete the file from my Kindle with a flourishing gesture, and B because I had never heard of Life's a Witch before and I believe the fame of a novel loved by 15 Million readers would have reached us here at Goodreads no matter what format.

Do you fear this review will be getting far too long? The plot is easy to summarize in a few sentences, because it does not include a lot of turns or characters or layers and unfortunately also not a lot of world building: Because of the final question, if dead means really dead when you are a witch, there is still room for a sequel or two.

What she probably did not enjoy so much were the Twilight books. Therefore she has made the effort to create a heroine who is the exact opposite of Bella Swan: A truely beautiful and physically fit girl who is popular, because she wants to be popular. Someone who knows her own potential and flaunts it with all her might.

Someone who is sure of her own superiority, her magical powers of persuasion and the infailability of her own opinion and judgement. I told everyone what to vote for, what they should care about and set the standards of excellence among my peers. Fair, commanding, but friendly. Sofia was all this, which made her a perfect number two. It was clear on their faces. I was the oldest. I tended to take control of every situation. I was popular, powerful and pretty, everything that usually afforded a person the attention of their peers.

She makes all decisions, as random as they often are, by herself and distributes information about the situation, the revealing dreams she has and the magical cabin only in a very filtered way and only to the older teens. She expects blind trust, but at the same time she cares only half-heartedly for the fate of the kids she had made her responsibility.

Her voice was inaudible to anyone else but me. How big is Hadley supposed to be? An Amazon of Hulk-like proportions? The villain witch in this novel is confidently condemned without much ado: The otherworld does not take kindly to those who defy its laws. When I was reading the verbal exchanges between Hadley and her adversary, it reminded me of countries at war, who both feel their case is right and just and who are both only different sides of the same coin.

There is not much to say with respect to the severe case of instant-love the reader gets served. Maybe it is easiest understood by a short quote: As you can see, I do not recommend to read this book. It always comes down to personal taste. I liked Bella Swan in spite of her shortcomings. Maybe you like Hadley Bishop because of hers.

I went back and forth between giving it 5 stars vs 4 stars. I ended up with 4, primarily for reasons I can's list without giving away any spoilers. I just thought she would have been smarter than that, or at the least questioned certain t I did not know that this was not the first book of the series.

I just thought she would have been smarter than that, or at the least questioned certain things a lot more than she did. I will list specifics below, but will make sure to have a spoiler line separating the two. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book. It was nice reading a book about a teenage witch who actually knew what she was and how to fully utilize her skills. Most of the ones I have read in the past involved witches who didn't know they were witches, but discovered it after some tragic event.

It gets kind of expected and even melodramatic at times. If you have not read this book yet, stop reading here. There will be spoilers ahead. I understand teenage hormones and all, but she seemed like a very meticulous person who was able to compartmentalize her life very well. Anyone who can do that, would never have invited that guy into her life. Besides, with her having to REALLY use her "power" of persuasion, and then to have it barely work meant something was wrong. She says almost right from the start that other witches don't seem to be affected by her power.

It would be one thing if she had known Emory more before their lives blew up around them, but Emory was a virtual stranger. I understand telling Hadley since she was the group leader. Once she starts telling other people, it can only be because a She didn't feel Hadley was protecting them enough or b she was trying to rip the group apart. Either way, intelligent Hadley would have caught on a lot sooner than she did and done something about it. Those are the main reasons I had for giving the book 4 stars. Just a few too many things I felt were off.

I first heard about Life's a Witch through an article in Publisher's Weekly. My first thought upon reading the article was "oh great, here we go again, another self-published author. After all, Brittany had achieved 19 Million reads of the book on Wattpad, a site I check into every few weeks, and she seemed like a very sweet lady in her interview.

I decided to purchase the book and check it out. I placed it on my shelf for a rainy day and forgot about it. Little did I know the mistake I was making. Life's A Witch is an exciting read, with rich characters and a book series I will definitely be reading all of. Brittany does an excellent job of leading the reader through these scenes, painting vivid portraits of the battles that take place. The pacing is excellent and kept me from putting the book down several nights in a row much to the chagrin of my employer the next day!

I also adored the main character Hadley Bishop. She's totally badass, with great fashion sense and a wit to boot! At times her dialogued reminded me of some of Joss Whedon's best character quotes including Robert Downey Jr. If you like strong female characters, this book is most certainly your cup of tea. In addition, I felt that I was immersed in a magical world with rich characters. Some of my favorite scenes, outside of the battles, included Hadley's mother's shop and the training sequences at the cabin.

Brittany has a very visually intense style of writing, which really brought me into this fascinating world. In conclusion, I highly recommend this book. It was an extremely fun read and I am excited to read the rest of the books in the series! View all 5 comments. Jul 28, Sunny rated it it was amazing. Hadley is an awesome main character because she has a lot of depth that isn't apparent right away. I'm drawn to character development, so that really stuck with me, and how she found her confidence in the witch world.

It complemented her confidence as a sassy teen girl in the mortal world! Overall, just an awesome book with a captivating amount of action, believable and lovable characters, an intriguing world of magic and a fresh way to do a young romance! Can't wait for the other books. It will be exciting to watch Brittany Geragotelis' life long career in writing continue to unfold! Jun 23, Chelsey Wolford rated it it was amazing. I could not contain my excitement when I saw this book and its cover on Goodreads! I absolutely adored the first book in this series, What the Spell?

Needless to say I was not disappointed when I opened this book. In this book we see charmed witch and popular high school student, Hadley Bishop. Yep, you guessed it!

Life's A Witch!

She is a direct descendant from the first witch that was murdered in the Salem Witch Trials, Bridget Bishop. Hadley leads a pr I could not contain my excitement when I saw this book and its cover on Goodreads! Hadley leads a pretty charmed life and pretty much everything goes her way. Until one day when the parents, also witches, of a boy who she knows goes missing and then soon after her mom goes missing also.

Hadley may be forced to face her worst fears. The people that sentenced Bridget to death may be ready to do the same to her. Brittany Geragotelis has such a talent for writing supernatural stories. I have always loved to read about the witch trials and I believe that including some of these characters in the prologue of this book was a huge boost to me.

It gave me a sense of where Hadley came from and what she was capable of. Hadley does not take her heritage seriously at first, but after awhile she realizes what an asset it really is. She embraces what she is and where she comes from, and certainly does not want to let her mother and the other witches down. Hadley may be conceited at times, but she stepped up to the plate in this book when it mattered most. I loved the cabin where Hadley evacuates the young witches to in this book, and I really do not want to say anymore about it than that at this point.

She knows that she must train and prepare to fight because something is incredibly fishy around their quaint, little town. Her mother gives her a fair warning, and Hadley begins training and preparing to protect herself as a witch. She may be conceited, as I mentioned earlier, but she is a born leader. I loved seeing the other witches feed off of her energy and watching her come out of some of her petty immaturity.

This book was a wonderful rollercoaster ride with tons of action and excitement…of the witchy kind!! Nanny Books Cosas de brujas es el primer libro de la saga de Brittany Geragotelis. Especialmente por esos tacones. Hadley tiene una vida perfecta, todas sus amigas la idolatran, tiene siempre la ropa de moda y todos los chicos suspiran por ella. Es sensible y se comporta correctamente con sus amigos. Pero lo que la hace especial de verdad, es que ella es una bruja. Con enemigos dentro y fuera del grupo, las cosas se empiezan a poner realmente feas. Resulta muy moderno el tratamiento que le da Geragotelis a la magia.

Mientras Harry Potter aprende a crear un Patronus, Hadley aprende un hechizo para maquillarse y ponerse muy bonita. View all 4 comments. Dec 15, Heather S.

Decent premise but Hadley is one of the most annoying and stuck up heroines I've come across Jan 25, Darcey Morris rated it it was amazing. Such a fun read! Dec 08, Sarah rated it really liked it. I thought this book was pretty good but there was a certain part that spiraled my feelings towards the book. This review is going to be hard to express without giving away spoilers.. I enjoyed the beginning of the book and thought it was good.. Hadley being the main character comes from a long line of witches that dates back into The Salem Witch Trials. I thought that was pretty cool.

It had a turn towards the end of the book that had me scratching my head and wondering WTF.. I had many mixed feelin I thought this book was pretty good but there was a certain part that spiraled my feelings towards the book. I had many mixed feelings. Her key to magically having it all? As a descendant of the first woman executed in the Salem Witch Trials, Hadley understands the consequences if her secret gets out. With everything at stake, can Hadley trust her magic…and her heart?
