Review: Not recommended for anyone over 25. YA fiction and a cozy combo.
Rating: 3 out of 5

I should have realized from the book cover this book is closer to YA fiction and a cozy than I'd enjoy.The three young cousins, all with their own careers are whiny, snotty, and rude to their mothers. They refuse to see knowledge from older women which would keep them out of problems. All are witches, but the three younger cousins don't practice with sincerity.The plot of ghost and black magic takes a long time to spin out. I knew who the first time I met them. Why was a little murkier. I stuck it out to see if it got deeper. It didn't.One of the young cousins, Bay, is a newspaper editor, or so the author would have us believe. I was a hometown newspaper editor and reporter. I know that industry and this woman would have been showed the door a long time ago. Really a poor journalist, doesn't even own a notebook. Her other cousins, Thistle and Clove own a nature shop and jokingly advertise curses. Cutesy doesn't do it for me.This is an OK book for its type. But it is vapid.
