These Teenage Witches Are To Die For
When I first started reading on my own, for my own pleasure I only read contemporary books until I was recommended a book about a young wizard. My world opened so much and from that point on I craved books about the occult and supernatural. It was at that point I decided I wanted to be a witch. I mean, how cool would it be to be able to do real magic? My favorite part of these stories was how much magic there was, and how many different types. The rules of magic changed depending on the author and stories. I mean think about it: were the witches bound by the gods and goddess they worshipped? The elements? Bloodlines? What did it take to be a witch? Raw talent? Blood? Practice? The possibilities were endless. It was just amazing. With witches the story could be anything.
I still really love tales of magic and spellcasting and can tell you the list below of teenage witches are to die for. Check it out and let me know what you think!
