- The Babysitters Coven - Review -
6:30 AM
Adventures in Babysitting meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this funny, action-packed novel about a coven of witchy babysitters who realize their calling to protect the innocent and save the world from an onslaught of evil. Seventeen-year-old Esme Pearl has a babysitters club. She knows it's kinda lame, but what else is she supposed to do? Get a job? Gross. Besides, Esme likes babysitting, and she's good at it.
And lately Esme needs all the cash she can get, because it seems like destruction follows her wherever she goes. Let's just say she owes some people a new tree.
Enter Cassandra Heaven. She's Instagram-model hot, dresses like she found her clothes in a dumpster, and has a rebellious streak as gnarly as the cafeteria food. So why is Cassandra willing to do anything, even take on a potty-training two-year-old, to join Esme's babysitters club?
The answer lies in a mysterious note Cassandra's mother left her: "Find the babysitters. Love, Mom."
Turns out, Esme and Cassandra have more in common than they think, and they're about to discover what being a babysitter really means: a heroic lineage of superpowers, magic rituals, and saving the innocent from seriously terrifying evil. And all before the parents get home.

- Review -
The Babysitters Cover is the perfect fall read! Why? Because one, it's funny. Two, magic. Three it has an overall fall feel to if. We following Esma and her babysitting club. She is working and save up her money. We soon meet Cassandra who is kinda a rebel but she wants to join Esme babysitting club because of a note her mother left her. But turns out there is more than just one kind of babysitter. Esme and Cassandra have magic powers that are used to fight off the evil that is trying to take over the world. This book is a page-turner. I read it in just three days because I wanted to know what was going on with these characters. This book at times seems to be characters driven while overtimes it is plot-driven. The Babysitters Coven is adventures, sarcasm, and spells!
I can see how this is perfect for Buffy fans. It has an adult who has a job that needs to get the girls ready to fight evil. I like the role that Esme's family plays in the story. (trying to keep from spoilers.) Pig the Pitbull, you can't help but smile when Pig is in the scene. The only downside I have about this book is that it did read on the younger side of YA, however, this spell of a book is quirky and a perfect match for autumn.
