Summary:
What’s a girl to do when meeting The One means she’s cursed to die a horrible death?
Life hasn’t been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Conner, so a new start in New York may be just the change she needs. But the posh Upper East Side prep school she has to attend? Not so much. Friendly faces are few and far between, except for one that she’s irresistibly drawn to—Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight.
But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can’t stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma’s been having the oddest dreams: visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.
I’ve come to the realization that I read a lot of heavy stuff. Too much really. Sometimes you just want something fun and easy to read. That’s exactly what Spellbound was to me.
After losing her family, Emma moves to New York City to live with her Aunt Christine, not expecting that her enrollment at one of the Upper East Side’s most prestigious boarding schools is going to bring her face-to-face with her destiny.
On her first day, she’s surprised when the most attractive boy in school covers for her in a lie. What follows that is a great story of love, loss and overcoming the odds.
In a world where I often get annoyed with characters, I have to say that that didn’t happen here. I loved them, and their story (which I’m afraid I’ll spoil if I reveal too much of). I can say this though: Emma was smart, funny and witty as hell. While Brendon… *swoon* Wait, where was I? Oh yeah, I liked him. A lot. He’s no St. Clair, but they can’t all be the king, right? But they sure can try, and he makes a great showing, js.
So, if you’re looking for a light paranormal romance with a little mystery and an engaging protagonist, I hope you’ll give Spellbound a chance!
