Twitches meets Charmed & The Craft where some of the main characters are Black witches. Bad Witches is a commendable debut with a fun, adventurous twist, and filled with loveable characters. The setting and world building  was described so vividly it really enhanced the story. I also loved the spell casting and the statistical  research data that showed how often typics (people without magic) and witches were born. 

On the night of their twenty-second birthday Maya the Imitator, Gabbie the Influencer, and Delali the Mindreader randomly meet in a bar bathroom turning their night of partying into sparks of magic. Unsure of what’s happening they knew it wasn’t a coincidence they all began receiving notes from the witch counsel regarding improper use of magic they didn’t know they possessed. 

But to help guide them down the right path they stumble upon or are rather stalked by soon to be mentor Alba. Her plan was to help the girls learn to harness their magic and once the final test was complete they’d be able to travel between realms. Soon they’ll learn not everyone can be trusted, their final test is really an execution, and together they are actually more powerful than they think. 

I loved the idea of the Witch Sphere being referred to as the Witch Health Organization (WHO) that was so clever to me. I did feel there was too much world-building and not enough attention given to the plot. We learn more about their powers, the magic realm, and the current typic crisis than we do really getting to know the characters.

Overall, it was a good read I just wanted more from the story. It’s like once things got good and the chaos developed the book was ending. However, I did like the clever plot twist in the end kind of makes me wonder if there will be a book 2.
