Title: Spellbound |
Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz
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 Connor, 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. |
Book Review
I loved this book overall! There were def some great qualities but also a few things i didnt like! For what i did like: the originality of the story, the detailed info on New York City and Angelique/Ashley! For what i didnt so much care about was Emma and Brendan (I like their romance though.). When i say those two, i mean their moral base: mostly the alcohol and sex (on Brendan's part). Some people dont mind things like that and for them this book would be fine. But i, personally, depised underage drinking and careless sex, especially in books for young adults where you are supposed to relate to the characters and when the character can somewhat be seen as a role model...or at least an influencer. But like i said, some people dont mind those things, so read it and make your own mind up. After overlooking those things i didnt like, there was plenty left to love, so thats why I gave this book 4 stars. Also, i do plan on reading the next book, because i love the story and really want to see what's next!
