*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 cooking. 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.

Completely forgot I was reading and could not put it down! Such an innocent but enjoyable story. Gave me more than a few laughs out loud as well. Can't wait to read the next two!
the ratings and reviews for this aren't amazing but i'm 100% gonna buy just because of that beautiful cover
Honestly, the writing and the characters were very juvenile and the world building/magic system was weak at best, but I still had a good time listening to this. It kept me engaged and I really couldn't predict where the plot was going.
