Review: It is ok, but short and lacking in even a hint of magic

It was only ok. It kept teasing me that there was going to be a hint of magic in this girl's life, but it never came about until the very last page, which was more of a teaser to buy the next book.  Also, the dynamic between her father and her felt forced, but maybe that's because I've never encountered a southern evangelist. Her acceptance of doing confession and then her outbursts of rebellion just didn't work for me.  I'd read the next book, if only to see what kind of magic the author has in mind.
