Publisher's summary

Brought to the edge of destruction by the death of her father, and her violent mother who blamed her for everything, Luna thought only misery was in store for her in the poor country town of Green Brook. When she finds a book of power inside of a tree, she thought her luck had finally changed, and set off to find the ingredients for a specific potion in the spell book that would make her life complete. But not being the owner of such a powerful book and not knowing what she was doing, Luna casted a spell upon herself that turned her into, some would say, a completely different person. Now she, along with her best friend and a boy she meets on the road, with wishes of his own to be someone different, will travel from place to place, trying to figure out exactly how the spells work and will encounter many fantastical people and places along the way. But nothing will deter them from getting what they each want, no matter what the cost is.

This is a story about redemption, friendship, and gaining the courage to go for what you want and the strength to be who you were born to be, despite the disapproval of the entire world.

I loved this book

The vivid description of the scenery made my feel I was right there . The characters were unique. I was glad to be allowed to go on this journey with Luna.

Very entertaining

"The Wiccan’s Curse" (2021) by Gemma Jace is a very entertaining young adult novella about fifteen-year-old Luna, an abused girl cursed with a white-circled face on brown skin. With longtime friend River and new friend Rusty, Luna sets out on a trek to make her look normal through magic. The tale appears to take place before automobiles and airplanes but the characters sound like modern-day teens. Narrator A'alia Zealous is engaging but needs to work on words with double T’s in the middle (written, button, etc.). Solidly recommended. At my request, I was given this free audiobook and have voluntarily left this review.

It was so good. I bought the book.

I fell in love with the characters . Can't wait for the sequel. Get your copy.

Fast at the end

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an unbiased review. The story is fairly easy to listen to until the end. A girl abused by her mother finds a grimoire on the very day her friend convinces her to run away. They look for the ingredients for a spell as they go. I am slightly confused how fast the ending is with the mother. The story is easygoing and the narrator good, except the way asked is pronounced axed, which I personally found annoying.

witchy women

This is a entreating book. It was an easy read with lots of twists and turns good for young teens and older!

this is okay for a kids book

the fact that the term Wiccan was used so loosely and to define a species and not what wicca really is was honestly insulting because I am a wiccan. I expected more
