{Review} House of Ivy & Sorrow by @nataliewhipple {Published} @HarperTeen

Josephine Hemlock has spent the last 10 years hiding from the Curse that killed her mother. But when a mysterious man arrives at her ivy-covered, magic-fortified home, it’s clear her mother’s killer has finally come to destroy the rest of the Hemlock bloodline. Before Jo can even think about fighting back, she must figure out who she’s fighting in the first place. The more truth Jo uncovers, the deeper she falls into witchcraft darker than she ever imagined. Trapped and running out of time, she begins to wonder if the very Curse that killed her mother is the only way to save everyone she loves.

This title will be released on April 15, 2014.

Natalie Whipple, sadly, does not have any cool mutations like her characters. Unless you count the ability to watch anime and Korean dramas for hours on end. Or her uncanny knack for sushi consumption.

She grew up in the Bay Area and relocated to Utah for high school, which was quite the culture shock for her anime-loving teen self. But the Rocky Mountains eventually won her over, and she stuck around to earn her degree in English linguistics at BYU. Natalie still lives in Utah with her husband and three kids, and keeps the local Asian market in business with all her attempts to cook Thai curry, Pho, and “real” ramen.

This one is Witchy!! It will knock off you witchy socks!!  There was very few things I didn't like about this one.  The main thing was about all magic being dark and bad and that it was up to the witch to control it or be consumed by it.  Although I do understand that take on it I do not agree with it.  Ive been pagan for almost 30 years lol.  (sorry for the rant)  But even with that I loved this book!! So glad that I got to read it!!



This book is for those who love twisting, turning, creepy, magical stories!  This one will keep you reading until the last page and you will fall in love with everything about it!  I loved it and the cover! So go read it!  Oops sorry it doesn't come out until April!  Ok go pre-order it and drool and whine until it comes!
