A WICKED MAGIC
California teens get caught up in a witchy misadventure.
Though Daniela and Liss, who live in a small coastal town in Northern California, share a close friendship, each wrestles with private demons. Dark-haired Dan copes with depression through self-harm, feeling each time she cuts herself that it might bring her some peace. And blonde-haired Liss struggles with poor self-esteem thanks, in part, to an abusive, overdemanding mother with a drinking problem. Together the best friends hope their discovery of the mysterious Black Book in the giveaway box outside a grocery store will fill their inner voids, offering them an irresistible spell for becoming witches and other magical charms, each promising to be one that will change their lives for the better. Unfortunately for these would-be witches, the spell that really changes things results in the abduction of Liss’ boyfriend by an evil spirit and a terrible breach in the girls’ friendship. It is only when the two begin to open up to each other and trust mutual friend Alexa, who has hidden magical powers, that they summon the moxie to try to undo the damage they wrought. In her debut, Laurens weaves an intricate, suspense-filled tale mingling everyday teen angst with otherworldly sorcery. Alternating among the perspectives of the three lead characters, the shifting narrative tantalizes teen readers with the possibility of magic. Dan is Mexican American; Liss and Alexa are cued as white.

Reviews for "Beyond the Ordinary: Embrace the Esoteric at the Black Magic Cafe"
1. Jane - 2/5 - I was very disappointed with the Black Magic Cafe. The service was slow and the staff seemed uninterested in taking our orders. The food was also underwhelming, with my dish being lukewarm when it arrived. The ambiance of the cafe was also lacking, with a lack of charm or character. Overall, it was a forgettable dining experience and I would not recommend it.
2. Tom - 1/5 - My visit to the Black Magic Cafe was a complete disaster. The food was terrible, with no flavor and poorly executed dishes. The service was even worse, with waitstaff who were rude and inattentive. I had to constantly ask for basic things like water and utensils. The prices were also outrageous for the quality of food and service provided. I would highly advise against dining at this establishment.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Black Magic Cafe, but it fell short of my expectations. The menu was limited and the food I ordered was bland and uninspired. The service was also a letdown, with long wait times and disinterested staff. While the atmosphere was cozy, it couldn't make up for the lackluster food and service. I don't think I'll be returning to the Black Magic Cafe anytime soon.
