Spells Like Teen Spirit

De: Kate M. Williams

Narrado por: Phoebe Strole

The final installment in the hilarious, action-packed Babysitters Coven series that Refinery29 calls "candy for 90's girls and Gen Z'ers alike," featuring a coven of witchy babysitters sworn to protect the innocent and defend the world from an onslaught of evil--all before bedtime.

Ever since Esme met Cassandra Heaven and discovered the truth about their shared legacy--that they're Sitters, supernaturally gifted teens tasked with protecting the innocent from evil--her life has been moving at 90 mph. During the day, she chases wild toddlers, and at night, she employs a different skill set for a different kind of demon. Like, literal ones. And sometimes it's almost fun. Her spells are getting better, her telekinesis is on point, and now that Esme's dad and her best friend Janis know the truth, she's no longer lying to the people she loves. She's also learned that there's a way to undo her mother's curse, and with the Synod out of the picture, she might even have a chance to do it.

If she could just figure out how. But she can't, and even with her mom living at home again, Esme can't shake the feeling that she's failing. Throw in the fact that Pig is still gone, Esme's crush is MIA, and it's cold, slushy February, and she's in bummer city.

Esme needs a serious pick-me-up, and Janis has a plan: a Galentine's stay-cation, with the Sitter friends Esme and Cassandra made at the Summit. Except things are getting weird in Spring River again. Esme and Cassandra just discovered a new band, and not in a good way: these guys reek of Red Magic, and their music sucks. Trouble is brewing, and if Esme's not careful, this show might be her last--and no one likes a one-hit wonder.

This Can't be the End

I love this Universe of the supernatural world of the sitters. This third story in this Universe just reminded me of everything I like about. The early 2000's references were so awesome! So many nodes to buffy the vampire slayer and the 80's. I was in high school in the early 2000's and plus a buffy fan, so I enjoyed the references. However I know it says final installment, but felt there is so many unanswered questions and plot holes. I feel that this could be a Tetralogy or a series. So much more to explore in Esme's and Cassandra's life and character development. So much more could be explored in the sitter verse. I feel Kate Williams could give give us at least one more installment, like let their senior year be the final or in buffy fashion have an apocalyptic ending with a mega big bad villain or Cassandra go evil like willow did in season 6 of buffy. I loved this and it honestly left me wanting more.

Great!

This book was a great continuation of the story. I can't wait for book four.
