Interesting story but....
The story itself is good, quite difficult to read. There is a great deal of poor english. Hundreds of instances of a word used in a sentence incorrectly, many errors in syntax.
Really in dire need of a good proof reader and correction. I did not read the first two looks; I will not purchase them due the band english , I am glad this one was free.
It seems reminiscent of a bad translation from another language, although I don't think it is the case.

Forget this one
This is only the second book I have ever stopped reading in more than 60 years. The story line seemed good. However, the grammar is horrible and the word usage is that of someone with only the bare minimum knowledge of the English language. These problems made the story very difficult to read and understand. I rarely write reviews, so I hope you will re-read after using the computer spell check or have a friend check it for you.

Witch in Progress series - Warning: Interested readers may want to read the verified purchased reviews for book three, The Witchlist; there aren't many ARCs in that lot. I found book two of this series on Booksprout.co and then discovered I had all the books of this series in my library, so I did all three plus an extra book of another series. I purchased all four books and their author's name was D. S. Mowbray; so my reviews aren't verified purchases. I can't recommend Mowbray/Auberry's books, she takes the enjoyment out of reading. They were all one stars.
An Academy For Witches #1 - Oh my gosh, this "author" doesn't know much. There's some serious editing needed. The problems are so bad that this story reads like a puzzle; the reader must wade through muck to get a possible meaning of each sentence. Never mind spelling, grammar and wrong word usage just to name some of the fun, the reader can't enjoy the story. I barely made it past the eight percent mark. The sentences were unbelievable.
Now for the cast of characters, not really sure about any of them, except they "synchronous waddling on the hallway", and she won't talk to a boy whose "bedroom stood off right across mine and I used to see him switching the lights on, whenever he did that." They were neighbors. Skimming did not show any improvement. Interested readers may want to read the verified purchased reviews for book three, The Witchlist; there aren't many ARCs in that lot. 1*
What a Witch Wants #2 - I struck out with book one; too terrible for words. Interested readers may want to read the verified purchased reviews for book three, The Witchlist; there aren't many ARCs in that lot. This book has an overview, which I usually appreciate knowing what a story is about before I read it. Here's a bit: " The fact that she was dropped out of school meant nothing that there were no occupations to deal with." (Kindle Location 15). After reading the description twice, I'm still not sure what the book is about.
I did read the ending of book one and this appears to pick up where it ends. There's some serious editing needed and we're doing the puzzle thing again; I actually prefer Kakuro puzzles. The reader must wade through muck to get a possible meaning of each sentence. Never mind spelling, grammar and wrong word usage just to name some of the fun, the reader can't enjoy the story. I skimmed to the end and it didn't get better. 1*
The Witchlist #3 - Struck out with the first two and book three is more of the same. Compared to book two's description, this one makes sense, which I appreciate knowing what a story is about before I read it. This has a different writing style compared to the other two; clearer but there's still serious editing needed and we're still doing the puzzle thing and wading through muck to get a possible meaning of each sentence. Never mind spelling, grammar and wrong word usage just to name some of the fun, the reader can't enjoy the story. I skimmed to the end and it didn't get better. 1*
Auberry AKA D. S. Mowbray, Cinnamon and Secrets #1 - There's an overview, which I appreciate knowing what a story is about before I read it, especially with this author; her Witch in Progress series is a doozie of a disaster. The writing style of C&S is similar to The Witchlist, which was totally different from the first two books in that series. Unfortunately, this book needs heavy editing. Like the WinP series, the reader has to muck about trying to puzzle out just what the author actually means. So much work that the reader's concentration is continuously broken and interest in the characters and story is lost. I wasted my time skimming the book finished.1*

DNF.
As a language teacher, one of my favourite YouTube Clips is this: https://youtu.be/2bVAoVlFYf0, showing how Google Translate can distort language. Lots of fun when applied to a popular hit like “Let It Go”; not so much fun when applied to a whole book. At least, that’s what it seems like. Alternatively, the author has put his/her words through a thesaurus, choosing badly. Whatever they have done, they shouldn’t be publishing it. The following quote is a random example of the writing. About half of the sentences are like this:
“Anwen kept going while Harvey thought it best to keep staying there in his current juxtaposition. He had a scintillated future for a silly pit to put it to smash in spur of moment.” (P11)
Sometimes you find a book that is so bad it is funny. This one is just painful.

witching is fun
Interesting very interesting. This new series is a different take on a well worn subject. It's fun, mysterious and forces you to read through it and not stop. The main character is fresh and being adopted sends the same message that a lot wonder, who are my real parents. Searching for answers, getting in trouble in school, looked down upon , boy crushes, this has it all. Done tastefully and even with humor and danger. Can't wait to see what happens next.

A waste of my time.
I chose this rating because I didn't want to admit this was a waste of my time. I started out intrigued to see how the birth parents would be revealed...they weren't. What happened to her roommate...??? Am I going to buy the next book in the series? No . Not interested.

Fun read
I'm new to this series and hadn't read the first two books so I was a little lost at first. However, now I can't wait to read more! So much magic and mystery surround Anwen and I can't wait to see how things progress in her life.

Very bad translation.
Whoever translated this book clearly did no have English as their first language. The story was good, but very difficult to read because the reader has to figure out the correct wording.

Absolutely awful. This book is sorely in need of an editor. The author seemed to have used a synonym search for every sentence for no obvious purpose other than to show off. The dialogue doesn’t flow well at all. Couldn’t stomach it enough to finish the second chapter.
