Elizabeth is a witch hunter (supposedly one of the best although she seems to make a lot of mistakes) in a time when Magic is banned and witches are burned at the stake. One evening, when drunk, Elizabeth is found in possession of herb, charged with being a witch herself and thrown into jail. Luckily for her, her friends come to rescue her - but they aren't the friends she thought would come and very suddenly her life is turned totally upside down. 
 I do enjoy reading some YA fiction as it is often a fun story and easy reading. Unfortunately, I found this story read more as if it was written by a young person rather than for one and is therefore extremely light on substance and subtlety. 
 Having spent a long time setting up the premise and introducing the characters, the actual story to the novel seems to be rather superficial and certainly comes to a rather abrupt and convenient conclusion. The characters, although quite fun, do not have much breadth to them and behave in a very predictable way without any hidden depths and the scenarios are basic and staged to suit the story rather than being part of the ongoing narrative. 
 Nevertheless, I did indeed find this a fun read and i did enjoy meeting the different sorts of magical characters in the book. I will be very interested to see how the author's writing style matures, as there are certainly some good stories in there and I hope, with more experience, that she will be able to produce something with a bit more depth as she continues on her writing journey. Good luck!
