A Wicked Magic

De: Sasha Laurens

Narrado por: Amy Dannenmueller

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The Craft when modern witches must save teens stolen by an ancient demon in this YA fantasy-thriller debut.

Dan and Liss are witches. The Black Book granted them that power. Harnessing that power feels good, especially when everything in their lives makes them feel powerless.

During a spell gone wrong, Liss's boyfriend is snatched away by an evil entity and presumed dead. Dan and Liss's friendship dies that night, too. How can they practice magic after the darkness that they conjured?

Months later, Liss discovers that her boyfriend is alive, trapped underground in the grips of an ancient force. She must save him, and she needs Dan and the power of The Black Book to do so. Dan is quickly sucked back into Liss's orbit and pushes away her best friend, Alexa. But Alexa has some big secrets she's hiding and her own unique magical disaster to deal with.

When another teenager disappears, the girls know it's no coincidence. What greedy magic have they awakened? And what does it want with these teens it has stolen?

Set in the atmospheric wilds of California's northern coast, Sasha Laurens's thrilling debut novel is about the complications of friendship, how to take back power, and how to embrace the darkness that lives within us all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Laurens' debut reads like a modern version of The Craft." —Booklist

“With magic and mystery at the fore, Laurens hooks readers’ attention...Deftly plotted, with engaging, realistic characters, this paranormal debut has appreciable depth.” —Publishers Weekly

So much fun!

Highly recommended! This book has everything I love: sex cults, teenage witches, weird Northern Californian people, and DRAMA. The narrative structure was interesting and engaging and made it hard to tune out like I usually do in audiobooks. The narrator also has a really nice voice. Can’t wait to read Laurens’ next book!

definitely a teen read

it was suggested in a group, so I thought I'd give it a listen. Typical teen angst, so it took me a while to get into. The end picked up nicely.

Want more

Unfortunately this one was kind of a disappointment I Definitely wanted a lot more witchcraft and less....what this was but it was OK if I hadn't hurt seen the tagline about the Craft my expectations might have been lower.

Fun read

I enjoyed this. I liked the magic, and I think the author did a great job handling heavy topics. The girls had messy, realistic friendships which was refreshing for a YA.
