Summary(from Goodreads):
Idis, a hot-tempered witch, was pronounced dead Halloween night. Her runaway cat, Surla, has a horrific premonition-come-true, when Idis escapes the morgue and then a mental hospital. These two enemies unexpectedly cross paths in the woods, triggering the curse of being BeSwitched.
A powerful opportunity comes with Surla switching bodies with her witch. She can dominate the now little black furball, giving her an education, teaching her patience and taking the shrew to the salon for a fun makeover.
The two go to high school together, when Surla passes as a teenage girl with a little help from magic. When Surla is magnetically drawn to the curious new guy, Jax Morreau, she is infatuated. Could ravens, coffins or a cursed ring keep Surla away from her invitation to the Morreau Family Reunion at Lake Sequoia? An ancient mystery will be revealed, but at what cost?
This series just keeps getting better! The first book was off on a rocky start for me, but by the end I really enjoyed it! And this book started off good, and got even better and now by the end of it, I can’t wait to read the 3rd book! That is pretty impressive. I love when series get even better, and this one shows so much promise- I just know the 3rd book is going to be really exciting!
The first book was focused on Cathy and this book was more focused on Surla. I liked that, because I think that Surla is more relatable and a better developed character. So reading about her was more interesting to me. Even her witch, isis showed some growth during the book, which I did not expect at all! I thought the story was going to take a very different turn somewhere down the line.
Jax is the guy in this story, and yet again, he is my favorite guy so far! Are you seeing a pattern here? I like everything more, I think BeSwitched Witch is an all around better book. I think it was better developed, not choppy or jumpy in parts. It flowed better and held my interest more.
There were a few new characters too. A new bully at school, a magical force and a whole new drama. This book was even cuter than the first one, and the next one looks like it will be great too! It ended on a cliff hanger and with some of the new characters playing a role in the next story, it seems to be a set up for a great adventure! I am really liking this series for a light and fun, magical read!

I haven’t read this series yet–I thought when I saw the title that it may be part of another series that I just got for my niece. 🙂 But it does sound like it may be another good series to get her. She loves paranormal stuff.

Awesome reviews! I’ve been wanting to read these, and after reading your reviews they are going to the top of my TBR list! I really like that they concentrate first on one girl in book one, and then on the other in book two, because I think that really gives us a chance to get to know both of them better, in a more in depth way 🙂
