Publisher's summary
Take two obnoxious sisters, three undead witches, a teenage crush, and Rebekah’s got the makings of one unforgettable Halloween.
Turning 16 should have been exciting but Rebekah Lockwood’s birthday isn’t going at all as planned. Her sisters, Edith and Tabitha, have reminded her she’s the forgotten middle child, the guy she’s crushing on doesn’t even know her name, and her horse dumps her in the middle of a creepy forest...all before she accidentally raises three witches from the grave.
Whoops.
Now instead of trick-or-treating, the Lockwood sisters spend Halloween night dodging dark magic, helping their friends-turned-rodents, and if Rebekah’s lucky, maybe she’ll get to impress Austin, the hot guy she’s had her eye on.
To keep their town safe, they must defeat the insatiable Pickering witches. It’ll require bravery but more importantly, it’ll take the bonds of sisterhood. And all without killing each other.
So much easier said than done.

This was a cute book. Similar to Hocus Pocus. It had lots of action, danger and humor.
This would be perfect for a middle grade reader. The narrator did a great job too.

Cute Halloween Tale!
The story is captivating, fun, and can be enjoyed by all ages with a clean spooky storyline. I enjoyed the sisterly drama, mystery, suspense, and a touch of romance.
Narration was well done and brought the story to life.
The story sucked me in and kept me enthralled from beginning to conclusion. It is a fun listen for anytime of the year, not just Halloween.

A fun witches' tale
I don't typically listen to stories about witches, so this was an unusual book for me. But I enjoyed it. It was a good YA story about three sisters and their learning to pull together for a common cause. In their case, they just might unleash evil on world if they don't get it right!
There were some minor technical issues with the audiobook in that there were multiple places were two sentences were repeated in a row. But otherwise, the narration was wonderful.

A cute but sooky Halloween Tale about three sisters who have gifts they didn't know they possessed. Family, the supernatural as well as romance are a few of the topics in this story. Narrator did a great job of switching between characters. Great descriptions and love the epilogue.

It was easy to follow along. I enjoyed that the storyline was kept clean so that it can be thoroughly enjoyed by many.

Can these witches be defeated?
The Sister's Spell by Rachael Eliker (A Halloween Tale) is the story of three sisters, one of whom wakes up three witches who had been banished to the netherworld by the sister's ancestor. It was on Rebekah's sixteenth birthday that this nightmare took, place, coincidentally Halloween. Her sisters, Edith and Tabitha are both celebrating in her own way, partially encompassing a surprise birthday party for Rebekah. Edith is at a party thrown by a "popular" girl; one Rebekah would never be invited to. Rebekah is out riding her horse when she gets thrown and finds the wand that calls the three witches from their slumber. Rebekah and her friend Austin got them all together and remembering the ancient tale, defeated the witches. It was a battle that took place all night long and involved more people than just the sisters.
This was a delightful book that didn't take itself too seriously. Julia King was a good reader for this book and she made what could have been a complicated read-aloud into a delightful listen. He voice was perfectly modulated and she wound her way through the story masterfully. I enjoyed listening to The Sister's Spell and recommend it to anyone who is looking for something light and entertaining.
I received a free copy of the audio book from the Rachael Eliker, the author. All opinions and interpretations contained herein are solely by own.

Funny but very dangerous
Three sisters against three sisters. One set good, one set evil. I say this story has some funny parts mainly because of what the youngest good sister, Tabitha, says much of the time. She is charming & I loved her attitude & actions. Rebekah, being the middle child, has many things to figure out & accomplish. Edith, Rebekah & Tabitha have to learn how to love each other & work together (which is not easy for them) in order to defeat the 3 evil sisters. Ms. King did a good job narrating the story. I especially liked her voice for Tabitha. I was given a free copy by the author. This is my voluntary review.

Spooky, Sweet, and Sublime!
In this sweetly spooky tale of Halloween hijinks, Rebekah just wants a little acknowledgement, from her sisters, that is. She is the timid, pale, unpopular middle sister. Even with her sixteenth birthday falling on Halloween, no one seems to remember or care, especially her sisters. They have their own plans.
But when everyone’s plans go sideways after three undead witches come to life, can Rebekah and her sisters work together to fight off the witches until the heroines can be discovered?
A screaming good coming of age story.
