A Witches Tale, Stuff and things and what boredom brings

**I give this book 3.5 Stars out of 5*****I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***This Young Adult story was a bit confusing for me at first as for the majority of the first half of the book nothing paranormal happens.But I will say that Ms Volley has really set up the characters and setting for the story well, Alexi is a likeable slightly awkward 16 year old who has lost her mum to cancer and now its just her and her Dad Christopher, Now I quite liked Christopher, he is one of those 'Cool' dads who are the right blend of friend and father, he is there for her, but allows her to follow her own path in the way she structures her life, he doesn't push too hard, but guide Alexi with his love and understanding.He's also ok with Alexi's BFF being a boy, Logan oh he is so funny, there is lots of #Geekness in these characters and the way they met was so cute and I just loved their banter between each other.The town of Ravenswood is a bit weird, people never leave and when a new student arrives at school Logan is keen to get him to join their 'Pack', Kyle is reserved but friendly to them both, and they organise a group date to the Cinema. There is a lot of mystery involved regarding town and its inhabitants and Kyle is not what he seems.The boys are both interested in Alexi romantically but as Alexi learns more about Kyle, it ends up where Alexi's and Logans futures are in his hands.A Witch’s Tale hots up on the paranormal level half way through and we find out how Alexi is tied to the town's past. The pace of the story moves quicker for me at this point and I would have loved it to just continue, but I guess we will have to wait for book 2 to find out what Alexi will do next. I was gifted an ARC so I am not going to comment on the layout or editing as this was before the final version was ready. I look forward to seeing what Ms Volley has in store for Alexi in book 2
