Description During Books Spellbound (Spellbound #1)
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.

It was a bitter-sweet moment when I finished this book. I can honestly say that this book is probably going to be my favorite for a long time. Frst off, I loved the characters. The main characters, the supporting characters, hell, I even loved the villans! Well...I loved to hate them I mean. The main character of Emma Connor, I felt was real. She had real problems and a real past, but didn't let them rule her day to day life. Not to mention that she is hilarious. My favorite part of this bookWell, to begin with something I have to say that I liked the book. It gave me a couple of hours of light reading and disconnection of the world. That's worth something... like three stars...Now, let's analyze it (or try to, better said). I don't know what else to say about the plot that is not yet said. In short, it's predictable and full of clichés. And not really Paranormal Romance clichés, because besides the starcrossed lovers story and the "random discovery" in the middle of the book (aka
The moment I knew Spellbound had me hooked was when the main character, Emma, compared the smell of a perfume to "a unicorn fart". Later on, the same perfume was described as "munchkin sweat". These are clear indications of brilliance.(FYI - THERE WILL BE MILD SPOILERS AHEAD.)First let's talk about Emma. What I loved about her was that she's been through a hell of a lot, but she's not your typical world-weary protagonist. She definitely wants a better life, she wants a chance to start over. She
Spellbound was getting lots of attention long before its release, and every praise of it had me reeling to read. When Spellbound finally found its way to me, I couldnt wait to dive right in. Spellbound was quite different than what I was expecting, but it was also quite better than what I was expecting. Cara Lynn Shultz has created a spellbinding story that is sure to ensnare and enchant readers everywhere.Being someone who adores New York City, I was so pleased to discover that Spellbound takes
Boy, this book started off so well And then it crashed and burned in a smoldering fire.The beginning of this book was fabulous. Emma is sarcastic, humorous, and snarky without overdoing it. I love how she doesnt take any of the mean girls crap and spits it back in her face. There was this nice, subtle build up to the other magic plot and a sort of suspense about these cryptic warnings being delivered by her brother. But after 100 or so pages, it took a turn into gag me now, shitville. This is
Honestly, I dont have much to say about this. The story didnt trigger any strong emotions on my part so whenever I try to come up with something to say about it Im drawing a total blank. The weird thing is, those of my friends whove read it, rated it somewhere between 1 and 5 stars (haha). Opinions seem to be somewhat varying ;-) Well, I for one, enjoyed this and was actually quite surprised because I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. It wasnt anything overly special but it was pretty
