Review of Big Little Spells
This book is for anyone who has ever had that dream/nightmare about being back in school. You know the one. It’s the end of the term, finals are coming round, you haven’t studied at all and you can’t find the classroom. Oh, you don’t know that dream? Well, maybe it’s just me.
In Big Little Spells, 28-year-old Rebekah Wilde, her sister and her friends are forced to go back to school to prove that they are not dangerous to the witches of St. Cyprian. Classes, homework and even a prom are on the agenda according the The Joywood, the town’s ruling coven.
Rebekah is pretty sure she does not need re-schooling. But she goes along to keep the peace and help her sister and her friends. Mom and Dad are not all that supportive, but the immortal Nicholas Frost has some surprising advice.
The main characters are a bit immature, but the main theme about going back to school kept me reading this one. In the end, the appropriate characters get schooled just enough to satisfy the reader and hint at more to come.

About Big Little Spells by Hazel Beck
Rebekah Wilde was eighteen when she left St. Cyprian, officially stripped of her magic and banished from her home. Ten years later, she’s forced to return to face the Joywood Coven, who preside over not just her hometown but the whole magical world. Rebekah is happy to reunite with her sister, and with her friends, but the implications of her return are darker and more dangerous than they could have imagined.
The Joywood are determined to prove Rebekah and her friends are a danger to witchkind, and her group faces an impending death sentence if they can’t prove otherwise. Rebekah must seek help from the only one who knows how to stop the Joywood—the ruthless immortal Nicholas Frost. Years ago, he was her secret tutor in magic, and her secret impossible crush. But the icy immortal is as remote and arrogant as ever, and if he feels anything for Rebekah—or witchkind—it’s impossible to tell.
