A bewitching new series from the bestselling author of the Evernight seriesAges: 12+ When Nadia's family moves to Captive's Sound, she immediately realises there's more to the place than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia can sense that a spell has been cast over the tiny Rhode Island town - a sickness infecting everyone and everything in it. the magic at work is darker and more powerful than anything she's come across, and the person it has affected most is Mateo - her rescuer, friend and the guy she yearns to get closer to, even though he pushes her away. Mateo's family have a tormented past and it soon becomes evident that Mateo is the next member of his family to be cursed, particularly when the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl from a car accident actually come true. Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break his terrible family curse and prevent a coming disaster that threatens the entire town, including Nadia's family, her newfound friends and her own life. Shimmering with magic and mystery, New York times and number one bestselling author Claudia Gray's first book in a new trilogy depicts a dark and unforgettable world of witches, curses, buried secrets and star-crossed romance.
I loved this story was sucked in, in just the first few pages. I really like stories about witches, curses, and mystery. I think I have some ideas about where some of the characters are going but the best part about Spellcaster is that when you think you sort of know where Claudia's going: she throws in twists that you'll never see coming. I for one could not have predicted the turns she took. I loved that the ending did not really end with the evil being done with and that their is more to come and how the evil will play a part in what claudia thinks is over and done with.
