Housewitch: A Novel | Katie Schickel
7 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Allison Darling, former foster child, now a stay-at-home mom of three, desperately wants to fit in with the organic latte drinking, hundred-dollar-yoga-pants-wearing moms who run Monrovia, her charming seaside village. Constantly feeling like an outsider, Allison dreams of more for her children. When the Glamour Girls, a soap-selling company run by the most charismatic and powerful women in town, recruits Allison, she jumps at the invitation. The Glamor Girls have a hand in everything in Monrovia, from bake sales to business deals. This is what Allison's wanted her whole lifeto be liked. To be popular. To belong. After Allison's estranged mother passes away, she learns her family's heartbreaking legacy and the secret Allison's been fighting to suppress all her life emerges: she's a witch. What's more, she's not the only one in town. There's more to the Glamour Girls then it seems... and once you're a Glamour Girl, there's no going back. Allison must use her rediscovered magic to defend Monrovia, protect her marriage and her children, and reclaim her legacy. Fighting tooth and nail for her family is easy, but what about for herself? Is it too late to confront her own demons and become the woman she dreams of being? "Katie Schickel's debut entertains while delightfully skewering our culture's obsession with domestic perfection. In the spirit of John Updike's Witches of Eastwick and Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic, Schickel casts a spell all her own. Housewitch takes us deep inside the dark arts of 21st century motherhood and sparkles with unexpected magic." Amber Dermont, New York Times bestselling author of The Starboard Sea At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

What a cute read! The plot and character development was really well done and the main character relatable. IMO there aren‘t too many hocus pocus-y types of books out there and this one fit the bill. My only complaint was that the ending felt rushed and incomplete.

I wish i was a housewitch and could waive a magic wand to clean but instead, I walked the equivalent of 1.5 miles cleaning my house and washing the windows inside and out. Whew! I am tired now but got some #audiobooking in! #bookfitnesschallenge #sparklingwindows #bfc @wanderinglynn

Book 9 of 2018! A really cute book. It involves witchcraft, witches, and potions and spells. Allison wants to help her family, make her life a little easier, and fit into the “it” group in her town. What price is she willing to pay? She finds unexpected help and digs down deep to save those close to her.

BreBookLover I have been seeing this book around. I will have to pick it up. 6y
Booknerd2 @BreBookLover It‘s really a cute one. I love magic and witches. This had a light hearted feel to it. 6y

Part 1 of my birthday book haul! (Part 2 will occur on Tuesday or Wednesday). I've only read Housewitch (obviously I loved it enough to get a physical copy), and am excited about each of the others.

Marchpane Happy birthday!! 🎉🎉 7y
