Convince us to read the book: The story of Avery Roe. The granddaughter of the witch of the island. Avery is in line to be the next witch, but her mother who was denied the role is determined to stop her. Avery was told that witches needed pain to make magic but didn't realize that pain comes in different forms.
Memorable or Forgettable: The ending will be memorable for me because of how it took me by surprise.
Cover: I really liked the title so that was what encouraged me to pick up the book. The knot on the front of the book does reflect the contents of the book and I think it should stay there.
