It seems odd to begin this project by posting a book at the "end"(?) of a series, but when have I ever done anything the proper way? Bonus photo of my reading nook where I finished this over Winter Break. "Buffy meets Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Adventures in Babysitting" "Spells Like Teen Spirit", which is the best pun on a title ever IMO, takes the Teen Witch YA trend and rockets to a strong finish to the adventures of Esme and her Teen Fashionista coven of Sitters--supernaturally-gifted teens tasked with protecting the innocent from evil. The story opens up with Esme reeling from her recent defeat of the evil Synod organization, her missing Pit Bull, Pig, and her magical boy-crow crush being MIA. To cheer her up, her girl gang plots a Galentine's Weekend of thrifting, asian fusion food, and crashing the school dance in Goodwill designer chic. Except there's a hot new band blowing up the town's shady bar scene, and yet their musical is terrible...and that's not even where things begin to get weird. Coupled with trying to undo her mother's curse AND finding the perfect outfit to expose a Red Magic cell Esme is in for the greatest challenge of her Sitter life. I really liked this series! Theres a lot of 90s throwback fun and humor and Esme's voice is both sarcastic and sweet. A lot of the mysteries were wrapped up but there was still some enticing plot threads left if the author ever wanted to pick it up again. I highly recommend you start with "The Babysitters' Coven and the follow up, "For Better or Cursed".
