3.5 stars I did not enjoy it as much as the first but it is a fun and interesting read. Surla and Idis are up to their hijinks and get caught into mischief which seems to be their specialty. A few new characters who were just as quirky as in the first book. I absolutely adore this cover! The ending leaves me in suspicion that could be another book in this series and if the author writes one, I will read it! ( )

I think I liked this switch even more than Surla's switch with Cathy. What is great about this story is that now we are introduced to a more confident Cathy, though this book is not really about her but Surla and Idis. We get to see Surla missing being a human, which is funny because she doesn't like them......well until she meets Jax Morreau. The chemistry between the two of them was such fun to read. The banter between Idis and Surla, and how the relationship between the two changes, as they both get to see how the other side lives, literally. I thought this was a very well written interaction with the witch and her familiar. The characters were memorable, and easy to relate to as a reader could identify someone or themselves with each one. Surla may be a cat but she is a kitty with style and pizazz.Can't wait to read more about the characters' journey. Wittingly charming and full of humor this is a must read!

BLURB from Goodreads
When the sassy black cat, Surla, ends up crossing paths with her ex-witch, the outrageous and hot-tempered Idis, it triggers again the curse of being BeSwitched.

Idis was supposed to be dead in a drawer at the morgue, and Surla was supposed to be having some bonding time with her new human best friend, Cathy. Instead, these two enemies are forced to get along or stay switched forever while in search for the last spell book... If only the curious and handsome new guy in school, Jax Morreau, would stop distracting Surla from their plan.

MY REVIEW
This book is BK 2 in the Beswitched Series by Molly Snow. It is aimed at the middle grade aged children to young teens. It is once again a funny tale about surla the cat switching with someone else.this time Srla switches with Idis, much to Idis' distaste. Idis hates her life as a cat and seems to begin to understand how badly she had treat Surla. Will it make Idis truly change her ways? Who knows lol.
So now Surla gets to experience school with Cathy instead of as Cathy as she did in BK1.
Cathy is however very caught up with her now boyfriend Todd. So surla still ends up feeling lonely even as a human.
In this book we are introduced to Jax and his father, Godfrey, who are both Warlocks. What does Godfrey want with Surla why is he paying her so much attention.
Well you will have to find out about Godfreys rather devious plan by reading the book!
Once again Molly writes in a great simplistic way that should make the middle grade reader literally race through the book. Molly also leaves the reader wanting to know what elae can happen to Surla next? Could she Beswitch again and with whom?
The cover adds to the comedy type of feel about the book. The cover features Surla in her mistress Idis' body, after the major makeover she gives the body! in the background I would say it is Jax looking on at Surla.
Did I enjoy the book? Yes at the age this is aimed for I would have literally eaten up the book! Would I recommend? Yes Would I read more? To review for Molly and to help you guys out there with picking your books for middle graders/young teens of course!

Available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk £2.54 (a reasonable price!) ( )

****Contains Spoilers if you have not read BeSwitched-the first book in the series*******

This is a sequel to the first book BeSwitched I reviewed on Monday here. BeSwitched Witch is a completely different book. As you might have guessed, at the end of BeSwitched, Cathy and Surla switch back and Surla is a black cat once again. (I told you there would be spoilers!) In a showdown with Idis at the end of BeSwitched, Idis was thought to have died in a fire and is in the drawer in the morgue when BeSwitched Witch begins. Surla can't quite believe it, to be rid of Idis who always treated her so badly. Meanwhile, Idis wakes up, gets out of the drawer and is being chased by a security guard at the morgue and tased in the butt!

Then one day, Surla accidentally crosses paths with Idis who is very much alive and has escaped the mental hospital they put her in when she told them she was a witch. Once again Surla is BeSwitched, this time taking over Idis' body and Idis becomes Surla, the cat. Now it's Idis' turn to learn what it's like to be a cat. Surla enjoys being a teenager with her friend Cathy and they give Idis' body a makeover including an embarrassing pedicure and extensions. Then they work some magic on her beak nose and she's a beautiful young teenage girl. Magically Idis, the cat, is allowed to go to school with Surla where she becomes infatuated with the new boy who always seems to be in trouble.

There was absolutely nothing predictable about this book. Finding a finger in a fish with an old ring on it. Curses making people sick. Flying frog guts in the science class all over the teacher. Fights with jocks. Visits to the principal's office. Bad boy crushes. Shape shifters. Warlocks. There just wasn't any guessing where this story was going. I was caught up as soon as the switch happened and Idis started reaping what she'd been sowing for 300 years! Then things got really interesting. It was never ending action and the ending was a cliff hanger!! I'm hoping Molly already has the next book written. This was a quick fun read and these stories are becoming highly addictive!

This one was perfectly acceptable for any MG or YA reader. No bad words, no sex, just some light romance and some pranks. And of course magic! ( )
