This is the second novel that I’ve read by Grady Hendrix and now I’m convinced that he puts some addictive properties in his stories. ‘Witchcraft for Wayward Girls’ was an absolute page-turner that sucked me in from the very first page.
I know that this book is classified as “horror” and while I won’t argue that it isn’t, it is a coming-of-age story just as much. Even when the plot is a bit more toned down and in a lull the characters are still growing and changing. ‘Witchcraft for Wayward Girls’ is just as much about the characters as it is about the plot.
