Review: CAUGHT BY HER SPELL by Shirley Wine

Cassie Piper has always had the gift, but she saw it more as a curse. Even though these visions might’ve saved lives, people grew suspicious with some even calling her a witch.

Then Grayson steps into the picture, and he will do anything to find his missing sister…even enlist the help of a so-called psychic.

 
Although well-versed in that New England style, story was rather slow. I always have a thing for psychic stories, and this one had the alluring concept of the missing person case, but I thought the execution could’ve used more pizzazz. The writing felt almost Puritan with phrases like, “That’s a tough ask” (but this could’ve been a typo, I’m not sure.) But the dialogue was certainly more formal (ex: “Father had a demanding career.”)
I was hoping that this would’ve gotten better the more we got into the mystery and the visions, but it all fell short. I just wasn’t too compelled by this story. I felt like I was dragging through it.
