This is book number 1 in the Black Witch Chronicles series.
Crops withered, animals fell ill, and people mysteriously disappeared. Fear and despair consumed the once-thriving community, as they lived in constant dread of Morgana's next move. But what made Morgana truly treacherous was her ability to manipulate others. She would prey on people's vulnerabilities and exploit their fears for her own benefit. No one could trust her, as she was always one step ahead, a puppet master pulling the strings. Despite the darkness that surrounded Morgana, there was one glimmer of hope. A young witch named Luna, gifted with powerful magic herself, had risen to challenge Morgana's reign of terror. Luna believed in the power of love and light, and she would not let Willowbrook fall into the clutches of darkness. A battle between light and dark ensued as Luna confronted Morgana. Spells clashed, the ground shook, and the fate of Willowbrook hung in the balance. It was a battle of wills, and Luna knew that she had to prevail to save her town from its treacherous tormentor. In the end, it was love that triumphed over evil. Luna's unwavering belief in the goodness of humanity proved to be stronger than Morgana's thirst for power. With one final burst of energy, Luna banished Morgana's darkness and restored peace to Willowbrook. The tale of Morgana, the most treacherous witch in town, serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of standing up against evil. It shows that even the darkest of souls can be overcome by the light of love and courage. Willowbrook's darkest days may be behind them, but the memory of Morgana's treachery will forever serve as a reminder to never let darkness prevail..

I found "Most treacherous witch in town" to be quite disappointing. The writing was bland and lacked any real excitement or depth. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real complexity. The plot was predictable and unoriginal, and I found myself losing interest halfway through. Overall, I found this book to be a waste of time and would not recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 2/5
I had high hopes for "Most treacherous witch in town" but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The story started off promising, but quickly became repetitive and boring. The main character, who is supposed to be a powerful witch, lacked any real development and came across as flat and unrelatable. The writing style was also not engaging, and I found myself struggling to stay interested. Ultimately, I was left feeling underwhelmed by this book.
3. Michael - 2/5
I must admit I was not a fan of "Most treacherous witch in town". The pacing was incredibly slow, and it felt like the story was dragging on unnecessarily. The descriptions were also excessive, and I found myself skimming through paragraphs without missing any important details. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, which made it difficult to connect with the characters. Overall, I found this book to be a dull and unengaging read.
