Discovery was a fun and witchy read! I love witch books and I thought it was a nice touch that the story took place in Salem. The book was a little slow to start, but picked up about halfway through.

Teagan is a likeble character and I found her easy to connect with. She didn’t use her head all the time, but I felt like her sometimes lack of common sense made her more relatable and I didn’t feel annoyed that she was Little Miss Perfect.

I liked the secondary characters too and the romance was sweet. I did think the book was YA though because the characters and plotline seemed more targeted to the younger crowd. I was surprised to find out that the characters were in their twenties.

There were a few dialect quirks that put me off a little bit. I think that’s just a personal reading preference though. Otherwise, the writing was solid and I did feel excitement, especially during the prologue and conclusion. I’d be interested in checking out another one of the author’s books.

Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
