Finding Magic
What if everything you heard about magic was wrong? Hollywood has twisted the story of Tituba in the Salem Witch Trials, to be an evil presence. It's thought that she brought evil voodoo to the world, but that's wrong. Bali, an unsure 18-year-old, African-American girl is a recent high school graduate, and is about to find out how her connection of lineage to Tituba gives her great powers of good magic. Bali, along with her two new friends, Leilani and James, set out to figure out how to navigate these new magical gifts they've been given. During their time together, they must also learn how to navigate their own insecurities and personal problems, while saving New York City from an evil witch named Adelram. This story weaves the true tale of magic, and how #blackgirlmagic is that of goodness and love. Come step inside a fantastic story with Bali, James and Leilani and learn how powerful diversity can be.

In the epoch where the world is wrapped in the world of Black Panther, Finding Magic by Lyn McClenathan has released just in time to ride the wave. I received a copy from the author and that doesn't weigh any on my review.
The Excelsior Witch Chronicles puts a new spin on the tale of Tituba of the Salem Witch Trials. Well, Hollywoods version. Maybe Tituba wasn't evil, but a strong, selfless woman who wanted to do good in the world. The three main characters are underrepresented groups of people, including an African-American girl, a homosexual guy, and a Hawaiian girl. The three of them not only have to figure out how to use their new magical powers, but they have to learn to trust in each other and themselves to unlock their true magic. Its a story of the strength, love, diversity, and friendship.
A must-read for lovers of Black Magic fiction or a good story.
