Does it have to be an actual witch, or just a character that acts like a real witch? You know what I mean.


message 44: by Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required (new)

Sandra | 25908 comments Christine, has to be a character that at least believes she is a witch. So just "acting" like one doesn't count.


message 45: by Steph, Serious series addict (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 32706 comments LOL! Of course my eye caught "character that acts like a real witch" and saw b*tch instead. Bad! >:)
