I thoroughly enjoyed Something Witchy and totally recommend it if you're looking for a great read. This story wasn’t dystopian or too dark, but wasn’t too fluffy either. Perfect!
This author has subtle humor and I liked that there were witches and magic but the focus was on the romance between Hayden and Tessa. More perfections. The romance is almost always my favorite part!

Tessa McClean is in high school. Soon she will turn eighteen. One morning she is summoned to the new Principal's office to be told that her life is in danger. Someone is after her. She is told that they want Hayden Anders, another kid in her school to be her bodyguard. At first, Tessa is against it. Hayden is a trouble maker, yes he is handsome but he has broken more hearts at her school than she can count. Hayden is not crazy about this either, but when he is offered a letter of recommendatio

As a senior in high school, Tessa has an incredible amount of stress to deal with, including absentee parents (both emotionally and physically), a very young sister to take care of, and now a mysterious set of factions that are trying to force her to choose sides. And neither side are very forthcoming with information.
At this point Hayden enters the picture reluctantly. He's always been around, but he's in another social class than Tessa (his family has money), and they don't interact. He More...

I received a copy of this from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Tessa discovers she is a witch, but this means she is in danger, two rival covens are vying for her attention and she isn't sure who to trust. Bad boy Hayden is assigned to guard her whilst at school, Tessa can't believe she has to be stuck with him, but soon they form a team and try to work out just which side they should choose. With lots of unexpected twists and mysterious appearances the choice isn't easy.

Hayden is somewhat of a bad boy and gets all of the girls in high school. When the vice principal asks him to act as a body guard for another student, of course his answer is a resounding no. Once he meets the girl he's to protect, however, it's not all that difficult to change his mind. With problems at home and a future to figure out, he may not have much of a choice anyway.

When I heard the title of this book, I just knew I had to read it! Then I saw the cover and read the description, and I was even more excited! Sometimes that's a bad thing, though - to go into a book with really high expectations can lead to a really big letdown if the book doesn't meet those expectations. I am very happy to report that that was not the case here - I really enjoyed it!

Something Witchy This Way Comes is a story of budding young sorcerers discovering their supernatural talents and finding love. Author Veronica Blade has created a world of battling witches, each campaigning for new recruits with gentle encouragement, promises of protection, and intimidating threats. The lead characters’ back stories add texture and weight to this tale of otherworldly powers.

No surprise, I loved this book as well! There's two main characters, Tessa and Hayden, a good girl and a bad boy. It's a very common setup, but this book definitely stands out.
It turns out that Tessa has some magical power. This she learns one day, when she's asked to principal's office. Hayden is asked to be her bodyguard. After that everything speeds up, and there's no dull moment!

This novel is full of action and mystery. Tessa was a great main character, she leads the reader through the story and allows the reader to view her innermost thoughts. Tessa is sometimes volatile, smart, brave, and inquisitive. The reader may want to shake the love interest, Hayden, every once and awhile. He is one of those charismatic heart breakers...he can be devoted, but the reader will still view a few scenes that will frustrate him/her.

This book is a sweet paranormal romance, easy to read and fast-paced. Although the good girl falling for the bad boy was an inevitable outcome from the start, it was described very nicely from the alternating first person narratives of the two protagonists, Tessa and Hayden.
Both characters are well drawn, and the similarities in their lives - their problems with their parents, their need to escape and find someone who cares - make the romance believable.

Something Witchy opens with Tessa and Hayden being thrown together. Tessa is in trouble and Hayden has been given the job of protecting her, not that he's a real bodyguard or anything. They're just students in the same school. They know of each other, but they're not exactly friends. And now they have to spend the entire school day together as Hayden has to shadow Tessa and keep her safe. Inevitably (because this is a book after all) romance blooms, as the over-muscled bad boy and the cute

Something Witchy This Way Comes is an extremely entertaining and enjoyable paranormal, mixed with a love story and I really liked it. When you add the two of those together you get lots of twists and turns.
