A Different Witch

A Different Witch by Debora Geary

Witch Central welcomes everyone. Or does it?

Twenty months ago, Jamie and Lauren crashed a coven meeting in Chicago - a visit they barely remember. For Beth Landler, it was the moment that fractured her circle and awakened her need for an entirely different kind of magic.

The kind only found in Witch Central. If she can dig up the courage to go.**

I've loved all these books in this series.  All of the witches and everyone in it seems so nice and welcoming. So when I read this one and one of the main characters, Nell wasn't that person it threw me for a loop. Beth is different. She has Aspergers and that makes her mind and her magic work differently, but Nell wants nothing to do with that. She doesn't even want to try to find a way to connect with Beth.  Seeing that Beth was literally pulled in to witch central by a spell gone awry, not asking to be apart of their magic, the antagonism that Nell feels toward her was a bit abrasive. 

Beth wants her magic to grow and ever since Jamie and Lauren swooped in to their meeting 20 months ago her want of change has grown more and more. Her aspergers causes her to be quiet and wary of new people and change.  She doesn't handle being forced to move fast or do magic fast.  My heart felt for Beth and the challenges she faced. The way she is brought in to witch central and then the way the witches there don't feel like they need to take a different approach toward her. I felt protective of Beth and wanted to fight everyone that was being what I thought was mean to her. 

I think if you've read the other books in this series you will like this different witch. I love that the story wasn't the same formula from all the others. Beth and her partner Liri are witches all their own and they love fiercely and protectively. It's beautiful and I can't wait to see where this series goes in the next book!
