On the outside, luxury realtor Sarah Nelson looks like every other mom in the neighborhood—running errands, navigating the school pickup line, and begrudgingly volunteering at the high school concession stand. Yet she has an edge that others don’t: She’s a witch! She uses light magic in secret, small ways, almost like an enchanted personal assistant. And absolutely no one knows about it.
Except her estranged ex-coven. In college, when she and two friends, Katrina and Alicia, first uncovered the magic, it didn’t take long before they used it to improve their lives. Yet, they made a mistake one night, and their dorm went up in flames and burned to the ground. After that terrible night, the coven scattered. And no one ever found out that the fire was their fault. Their secret was safe, until the three reunite at a ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the fire. Suddenly, the magic doesn’t seem to want to stay small any longer. Her familiar—an overweight orange tabby cat named Katy Furry—begins to argue with her. Her self-brooming broom goes full Martha Stewart. Her fridge overdoes it and stocks thirty pounds of sliced turkey for school lunches.As it grows more and more difficult to hide the magic and the past, Sarah, Katrina, and Alicia once again gather to harness their power, and keep their secrets safe…before they find out if polite society still burns witches.
A spellbinding story about sisterhood and magic, Hex Education was full of humour and heart. It’s magical, funny and full of secret and mystery.
Our coven of witches were undeniably charming, each distinct with such different lives now but sharing a kindred spirit that was made for freedom, power and divine femininity. I adored the connections between the characters, the love and sisterhood that bonded them together. And of course, no story is complete without a fabulous cat to finish the cast off — especially one that is practically “an opinion feline furniture pouf”
The storytelling was very friendly and casual, with first-person narration that let us occasionally follow Sarah’s trains of thoughts and get little glimpses into the normal life they’d been trying to live for the last 20 years, and it was brilliant for creating a realistic setting, and giving them their own unique brand of very relatable witty humour that every witch can find some connection in. Things start to slowly unravel, little moments of madness amongst the everyday, and as we move on with a casual but steady pace we watch on as things spiral into absolute glorious chaos.
Think the mystery and allure of Practical Magic, with the sisterhood of Charmed and the quirky humour of Sabrina mixed in with the modern world of podcasts and smartphones. This was absolutely bewitching and I hope this new wave of modern witch fiction never ends.
