Pink Lock Picks and Sequined Witch Hats by Carla Rehse
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At seventeen Gracie Mason is a cheerleader, homecoming queen and budding burglar to try to get the attention of a guy. On Gracie’s first break in however she walks into a male witch’s circle of power and finds herself awakening outside the building with a headache and no memory of what happened. Asher and his sister try to explain what happened to Gracie but of course she’s not too sure when they claim to be witches. But when Gracie sees the mark on her arm signaling the beginning to a bonding ritual she knows their claim is real.

While Asher is pretty cute for a witch Gracie is certain she isn’t ready for a lifetime bond with someone before graduating high school so she agrees to help try to break the bond. Breaking the bond isn’t as simple as she wished though and now Gracie finds herself mixed in with a society of witches with a secret club, a shadowy council, and all sorts of magical mischief and just when it didn’t seem it could get worse witches start turning up dead.

Pink Lock Picks and Sequined Witch Hats by Carla Rehse is a fast paced and funny young adult read with fantasy mixed in with romance and a bit of mystery. The story took off from the opening pages leading right in with Gracie trying her break in and quickly moving onto the witchy fun of the rest of the book.

Gracie was more than a bit of fun with her sass and charm that had me laughing on more than one occasion. It was nice that a character was described as the spoiled cheerleader actually turned into a very likable and fun lead. While the action packed the pages and kept the book moving along quickly I never felt I really missed out on any world or character building along the way and just found this one a ton of fun and would definitely check out more by this author.

I received an advance copy of this book from Xpresso Book Tours.
