Honesty, a valued commodity in these times, can be kind or cruel in its consequences.
I will be honest, Bewitched is not my usual genre but I was drawn to it by the promise of a mix of prose and poetry in the telling of the story.
I like different.
I will give time to the unusual that even just attempts to entertain, before anything else.
Bewitched does not attempt to do anything; it succeeds in every aspect, great story, well told, imaginative use of a mixture of prose and poetry to hold the reader enthralled to the very last page.
It tells the tale of Maddie, a young singer with relationship issues, a simple premise but hiding complex problems for the young woman.
Clean phrasing with good descriptions of the characters make for easy reading of an ultimately sad tale(incredible that just a name can make you hate a person before you know anything about them -- that is clever, you just know Dalton is a complete arse from the minute you read the name)
Kate Garrett obviously knows her subject well; it shows in the sharp well described sequences with minimal use of words. There is no fluff in this book, every word counts. A book that is full of emotion, honestly portrayed by a clever writer.
On first reading I wanted more but after a second reading, Kate Garrett has proved that the book was indeed perfectly sized, hats off to you Kate.
Rating 9/10
