About this audiobook
In H. B. Akumiah’s lively and charming debut, three young women discover the unbelievable: they’re witches, and their newfound magic may be the key to saving the world …
The Witch Sphere is in turmoil. In the years since a stunning betrayal sent shock waves through society, the Sphere was hit with a crisis: witches are giving birth to more typics (non-witches) and their numbers are diminishing. Nadia is determined to help, but she finds her efforts at the Witch Health Organization entangled with the political machinations of her powerful mother.
A public relations assistant, a teacher, and a former child star walk into a bar bathroom … on what happens to be all of their twenty-second birthday and, like many twentysomethings, they become fast tipsy friends. But unlike most twentysomethings, their night of partying ends with an accidental act of magic. Suddenly, Maya, Gabbie, and Delali find themselves thrust into a world of spells and potions with only a mysterious mentor as a guide.
As the girls learn to harness their new power, Nadia starts to notice spikes in the magic baseline and suspects an unknown cadre of witches may be the key to solving the Typic Crisis. Can this unlikely coven come together and save the Sphere, or are there darker forces at play? Either way these Bad Witches are going to find a way to have some fun.
Editor's Note
Bold, refreshing approach…

Step into the Witch Sphere, a realm so fun and funny that you’ll almost forget there’s a terrible danger lurking just around the corner.

This was a great first witchy read for the fall but it ended in a CLIFF HANGER lol that I wasn't expecting but I am looking forward to the next book. I did get a little confused a times during the narration remembering which character was being read but I don't think you would have that problem reading it physically. The story was really interesting and I only figured out the twist a couple of pages before it happened which usually I can figure them out before it gets to that point haha. Imani Jade Powers did a really good job with the narration of this one. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing - Audiobooks for gifting me the audio of this book.
