Have you seen Witches of East End? Ian and I watched it on Netflix last year and loved it. It’s based off of a 2011 novel by Melissa de la Cruz. I haven’t read it, but when I saw Summer on East End: Triple Moon at BookCon, I had to give it a try. It takes place in the same East End universe as the tv series…kinda. …It’s hard to explain. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there. Read on for my spoiler-free thoughts on Triple Moon.

Overview (From book)
After they cause a terrible accident at their old high school, twin witches Mardi and Molly Overbrook are sent to live with their “aunt” Ingrid Beauchamp in North Hampton, on Long Island’s mist-shrouded East End. Because the twins cannot control their powers, their father begs Ingrid to tame them over the summer, before the Witch Council exiles the girls to Limbo.
Trouble continues to bubble and boil when the girls meet the handsome and sexy Gardiner boys. But the pressure is on. As Ingrid helps the girls learn to control their magical impulses, Mardi and Molly realize they have just this summer to figure out how to grow up, how to be a family, and how to fall in love.
Setting
North Hampton, East End – sounds like a nice, small town, plus it’s close to the beach. Sign me up
