First Candidate

The Witch of Forsythe High #1

by C.L. Roman

Julian “Juju” Ramirez has one goal, take care of his little brother, Terry. Selling weed at Forsythe High looks like the perfect means to that end. He plans to stake out his territory early and work hard. But Julian has secrets that threaten to tear his plans, and maybe his life, to shreds. Between the local thugs, a drug cartel and the shifty DEA Agent who all want a piece of Julian’s action, it doesn’t seem like there is anyone left to trust, especially not Ms. Fischer, the strange teacher with secrets of her own.
At Forsythe High nothing is what it seems. Can Julian unravel the secrets before it’s too late? This paranormal young adult adventure treads the desperate, dangerous line between doing what we must and doing what is right.

Reviews

[Teresa Little · Rating 4 out of 5]

I bought this book on a whim not really knowing what I was getting except that it was YA.

The good, it is is a fun magical YA that developed slowly but caught me from page one.

The bad, it didn't capture me enough. I like Leigh Roman's writing and the characters enough to maybe one day buy book 2 and see how the series progresses. However for now, my shelves are overflowing and this book didn't rate high enough to meet the go grab book 2 now award but it gets a honorable nod.

Somehow I put the review for the second book. I like the premise of this book and can’t wait to read the next two.

I want to offer Julian a room in my house and fix things for him and Terry. I want to know more about Ms. Fischer.

This book is an easy and fun read. My biggest complaint is that it was too short. This one has been on my to read list for awhile since I met Cheri several years ago at a writing conference but had yet to read one of her books. I’m glad I finally got around to it.

I like where this book is going and I look forward to reading the next two in the series.
