How to Hang a Witch

by Adriana Mather.

Sam Mather is a descendant of one of the original advocates for the Salem Witch Trials, so when she moves to Salem with her stepmom, she isn't exactly welcomed. The local group of witch descendants go after her like she personally attacked their families, but the problem is, bad things are happening around Sam and have all her life. Maybe she really is cursed. This is a great book by Adriana Mather, the first I've read of hers. It has all the classic style of Mean Girls but with witches and ghosts and curses, so it was quite an interesting take. My only critique of the book is that sometimes you're left hanging at the end of a chapter and you don't know exactly what happened until later on. This was most annoying when it also happened at the end of the book, which I thought ended a little abruptly and doesn't tell you how everything was resolved for the main character. Guess I'll have to read the next book to find out!
