Let's review this! :D
***5 witchy stars***
I said it once and I'll say it again, this book was freaking amazing!
The book tells the story of Adele Le Moyne. Her and her father are forced to evacuate their homes when a huge storm -- referred to as "The Storm" rips through New Orleans leaving death and destruction everywhere. Washed up houses, broken families, nothing is left untouched. Soon after their return strange unnatural things start happening to Adele, new mysterious faces join the french quarter and dead bodies start turning up -- deaths unrelated to The Storm.
Caught suddenly in a hurricane of eighteenth-century myths and monsters, Adele must quickly untangle a web of magic that links the climbing murder rate back to her own ancestors. But who can you trust in a city where everyone has a secret, and where keeping them can be a matter of life and death – unless, that is, you’re immortal.
----
Well. Has the book piqued your interest yet?!
The book was interesting, this was my first witch centered novel (I think) and I loved every bit of it. I was so fascinated by all the stories (even if they were made up) of New Orleans, the history, the integration of the casquette girls (which in fact were a real thing!) and also the paranormal aspect of the book.
The build up in the beginning was slow, Adele's character, she was very.. annoying in the beginning due to her denial. Ugh, she went back and forth believing she had powers to thinking she was crazy. But after she accepted what she was the story finally kicked off!
After about a quarter of the way I found it so hard to put the book down, I just wanted to keep flicking the pages to find out what happens next. Alys Arden does a great job at foreshadowing hints to add to the mystery surrounding Adele and The Storm.
The characters were all very likeable, there is a love triangle in the book. I didn't really mind it since it was done well. I really liked Nicco and Isaac! And Gabe! And Sebestien and every other freaking character in the book. Each had their own personalities and were different! Even the bad guys were kind of likeable. It was such a perfect set of characters for the book.
I don't know what else to say, there were a lot of twists, a lot of secrets get uncovered and shit gets crazy by the end of the book. I should also mention that this book is sort of told in two POVs, one being Adele in present time and the other being Adeline (Adele's ancestor).
If you love YA paranormal books with witches, heaps of mystery, great characters and plotline then read this! READ IT!

"Um... This is beginning to sound like Matilda. Like the girl who could move things with her mind (was it called Telekinesis?) Anyway, I use to be so obsessed with the movie. But I was a kid at that time. If this is all that The Casquette Girls has going for them I'm disappointed. I hope the story improves or something happens."
