How to Hang a Witch

The author, herself a descendant of the famous witch trial judge, Cotton Mather, has written a novel about a Mather descendant who moves back to her ancestral home of Salem, MA and is faced with the descendants of the witches who were hanged. This book was a really fun, quick read. I liked the descriptions of Salem. The characters were likeable. The plot has romance, graveyards, a secret library, old grimoires, mean girls, a ghost, good witches and bad witches and a believable main character... all the ingredients for a supernatural teen romance. It is a very enjoyable way to pass a weekend. My one critique is that the plot involving the ghost's fiancee becomes a bit muddled by the end, which I really can't discuss more in depth without ruining it for you. Suffice to say, I still don't really understand the mechanics of how that plot line ultimately worked. Yes, I get that witchcraft was involved, but I think the jump from the past to the present could have been more clearly explained.
