RANTS AND SARCASM COMING, BEWARE:
Indigo Blackwood is a popular cheerleader dating the captain of the football team. Her best friend, Bianca is a total bitch snob and not to mention completely jealous of her for dating Devon. Indie's neighbour, Paige is totally obsessed with her and won't leave her alone even though Indie has made it SO TOTALLY obvious that she is way too cool and popular to be seen with her in public. Paige asks Indie for a ride after school one day and a boy in a leather jacket named Bishop falls from the sky and almost lands on her car. She then discovers that Bishop is holding a scrap of paper with the address of her mom's Wiccan store on it. Upon arriving at the ship, she finds that her mom's magical witch bible has gone missing and her mom is in a panic. Oh and did I mention Indie was also a witch? Now, with the help of Paige and Bishop, she needs to find her mom's bible before all the witches in the world are killed.
I can't even begin to explain how much I disliked these characters... Indie was a whiny annoying child brat who complained about LITERALLY EVERYTHING. She was so self absorbed, self-centered, rude and nasty and so entitled it was ridiculous. She mentioned multiple times that she had the 3rd highest GPA in her high school...but I see NO evidence of this whatsoever. She was just your stereotypical, simple-minded bitchy cheerleader who pretty much spends the entire book crying about her problems and not doing anything about them. You would think that there would be some sort of character development as the story progressed but no... Indie spent most of her time being a doormat for Bianca and her boyfriend Devon. Bianca is probably the worst human who walked this earth and I have no idea why she wanted to be friends with her in the first place. Not to mention why she even contemplates going back to being friends with her after she sleeps with Devon... Her boyfriend Devon is a total douche canoe and I don't understand why she puts up with him at all... oh wait, its because hes popular and LOVES HER SO MUCH. I mean, out of all the girls he could have brought to a Jay-Z concert, he chose her so OBVIOUSLY they are SO IN LOVE. Bishop spends more than half the book STALKING Indie, but obviously that's okay because he's hot so no big deal. The only character I even slightly liked was Paige and honestly I just wanted to yell at her for wanting to be friends with Indie because she treated her so poorly and she deserved way better. Jezebel was alright too, I guess.
Quite frankly, I found this book extremely unoriginal. The book dragged on without going anywhere. The plot is basically just a bunch of teen movie cliches thrown into one book. The world building sucked, aka it did not exist. The only thing we know is that there is a war between witches and sorcerers and that is about all we get. The amount of sexist lines in this book are RIDICULOUS... not to mention the girl on girl hate. This book is going to teach so many young girls so many bad things.. And another thing... there is a random rape scene thrown in there which had NO POINT OF BEING THERE... I honestly have NO idea how this book has 3-5 star ratings....
