Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It’s as though Lexy were selling Esha a drug—one that keeps her coming back and doing more and more evil things.
Con: At the end, we’re not sure what happened. Since Lexy’s ex-husband is still an issue, it seems as though Esha never really granted any wishes at all. But it also seems as though Esha has wished Lexy out of existence.
