K.C. Blake's Crushed is about three sisters who are witches and play a magical game every year. The game is called Crushed and each girl chooses one boy and they blow a magical dust into their face. Once the boys are Crushed the girls will charm them and in return the boys will follow them around. However, this year Kristen chooses bad boy Zach and he isn't acting like the other Crushed boys at all.I really enjoyed Crushed and finished it only a few hours. Blake's writing is addictive and I love how the story switches between Kristen's perspective as well as Zach's. Each character is well developed and Kristen is an excellent protagonist who is tough and brave. Kristen grows a great deal as the plot progresses and learns that everything in her life doesn't need to be perfect. Zach is the mysterious bad boy in the beginning and I enjoyed uncovering his secrets. I also liked Kristen's sisters, Brittany and Cyndi, and how different the sisters are from one another.The plot moves at a steady pace and includes a great balance of drama, action, and romance. The Crushed game the girls play is creative and it helped that Blake explained the rules before the book began. My favorite part of the book was definitely the last couple of chapters because so much happens. Crushed is an exciting story filled with magic and I highly recommend it.*A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review
