Book Summary: It's the summer before her sixteenth birthday, and Sabrina Spellman knows her world is about to change. She's always studied magic and spells with her aunts, Hilda and Zelda. But she's also lived a normal mortal life - attending Baxter High, hanging out with her friends Susie and Roz, and going to the movies with her boyfriend, Harvey Kinkle.
Now time is running out on her every day, normal world, and leaving behind Roz and Susie and Harvey is a lot harder than she thought it would be. Especially because Sabrina isn't sure how Harvey feels about her. Her cousin Ambrose suggests performing a spell to discover Harvey's true feelings. But when a mysterious wood spirit interferes, the spell backfires in a big way.
Sabrina has always been attracted to the power of being a witch. But now she can't help wondering if that power is leading her down the wrong path. Will she choose to forsake the path of light and follow the path of night?
Book Review: For once, I must say I was impressed by a book.
Meet Sabrina Spellman, the half-mortal witch. In just a few short weeks, she will have her dark baptism and thus her soul will belong to Satan. So what does this mean for Sabrina's friends? Now that is a good question. None of them are aware that Sabrina is a witch. Not even sweet Harvey who is currently Sabrina's mortal boyfriend.
This book is a prequel to the series and shows Sabrina's life prior to the series. In the book, Sabrina has saved a well spirit whom has granted her a wish. Sabrina's wish is for Harvey to love her. Unfortunately for Sabrina, this spell has consequences and it will be up to Sabrina to break it before the water spirit consumes her.
This was a rather interesting prequel. Although this series does revolve around the Sabrina, we are given brief glimpses into the lives of the other Greendale residents like Susie, Roz, and Tommy. Tommy's bit was a bit of a bunch in the gut because this kid was destined for so much and unfortunate the fates have other things in mind.
Sorry I don't want to spoil the series out there for those who are still trying to decide to watch it.
If you are a fan of the series, then this book is definitely something you should pick up and read.
