Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This book was advertised as the next book to read after Harry Potter. NO. Just no. The first book was the best one I read out of 2 1/2. I stopped reading in the middle of the 3rd book. The premise after the introductory book is that there is this insanely powerful evil magician on the loose and out for blood and they have a handful of teenagers just coming into their "powers" and still being trained at the weakest coven in the world who they have put in charge of finding and eliminating her. In reality, for an evil woman this bad they would have had the greatest magicians from the greatest covens in the world after her. But they don't seem to care at all. I would have enjoyed reading about the great magicians battling this evil woman but instead I got to read about bumbling teenagers and their love interests instead. By the time you get to the second book, the author begins to get potty mouthed (if you have kids or just don't enjoy bad language, like me), and begins adding sexual innuendo, and yet her writing level goes down to junior high level with such engaging comments as "You could've heard a gnat fart." My son at 10 would have enjoyed it, but I would not have let him read it due to the bad language and sexual innuendo. So, no, I don't recommend the books. The first was OK. It went downhill after that.
