To say this book blew me away would be a sore understatement. As book two of my spooky reads for the season, I’m so glad I chose it next! It is one of several ARCS on my list and this one had the soonest publish date.
Spells for Lost Things by Jenna Evans Welch truly exceeded my expectations as it explores two different angles that I have never experienced myself.
On one end, we follow Willow — a teen girl yearning to see the world and trying to find her purpose after her parents divorce. On the other is Mason — a teen boy who has grown up largely in the foster system but still idolizes his drug-addicted biological mother, even after she disappears.
The two’s lives collide when they wind up in Salem, Massachusetts for totally different, but just as mysterious, reasons. Willow’s mother inherits her long lost twin sister’s estate & Mason moves in with a new foster family with ties to his mother. Together they work to solve each other’s mysteries.
This incredible storyline is only enhanced by the beautiful setting of Salem, a dash of witchcraft and stargazing and a wonderful cast of side characters.
This was an easy five stars and I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves a wholesome mystery and characters who truly come to life. I cannot wait to read more from Welch! Love & Gelato is already waiting on my shelf!
