When I first saw this book I thought, "Creepy Library and reading at night" but I was way off base.
However, I could not put it down. It is a Hansel and Gretel witch story set in modern times, complete with essential oils (instead of potions), a New York apartment (instead of a cottage in the woods), and a nightly story to keep everyone happy.
Alex got into all this trouble trying to destroy his scary story notebooks and ended up getting trapped and the story books ended up helping him. He meets Yasmin, who is a girl also trapped by the witch. At first she tries to steer clear of Alex, but eventually she befriends him and in an effort to escape they come up with a daring plan only to realize they are still trapped. The stories that he was trying to escape from may be the only thing that saves him...
