4 stars-I really liked it, go pick it up

Portia Mullins had always lived the life of a normal teenager, up until her sixteenth birthday. She is then informed by her grandma that she is actually a witch who is a descendant from a long line of witches and warlocks. After overcoming her disbelief she finds that being a member of the coven comes with one great perk in the form of the school's handsome bad boy, Vance Mangum. Vance and Portia have an immediate connection as a budding romance begins, only to be threatened by turbulent skies on the horizon as Vance's checkered past rears its ugly head to haunt them. Portia is forced to use her untried powers in defense of everything she loves in a desperate attempt to hold on to the one thing that really matters in her life.


Fans of the Sweep Series by Cate Tiernan will love this book. The story starts as Portia realizes she is not who she seems. Sweet sixteen holds many secrets. Best of all is the sudden and shocking attention of Vance...man on a motorcycle with a tough boy edge. He is majorly swoon worthy ladies. You'll find yourself drawn to him as his past unravels and his relationship with Portia is challenged by more than one force. Together Vance and Portia explore their heritage and lean how to use their powers all the while feeling something watching them and waiting. Hold on for an action packed magical adventure with roots in the past and present.

Lacey Watherford does a great job of keeping this book clean for teens and teaches youth about true love and trying to avoid leading others lives to darkness. The characters are endearing and fun to get to know. Her pages are packed with surprises and twists of plot that will keep you engaged. A short and fun read, I am looking forward to the rest of the series!

Waiting on Wednesday- Radiance


By Alyson Noel
Published By Square Fish
To Be Released On: August 31st, 2010

Riley Bloom left her sister, Ever, in the world of the living and crossed the bridge into the afterlife—a place called Here, where time is always Now. Riley and her dog, Buttercup, have been reunited with her parents and are just settling into a nice, relaxing death when she's summoned before The Council. They let her in on a secret—the afterlife isn't just an eternity of leisure; Riley has to work. She's been assigned a job, Soul Catcher, and a teacher, Bodhi, a curious boy she can't quite figure out.

Riley, Bodhi, and Buttercup return to earth for her first assignment, a Radiant Boy who's been haunting a castle in England for centuries. Many Soul Catchers have tried to get him to cross the bridge and failed. But he's never met Riley... (from goodreads)

I've heard this is a spinoff to Alyson's Immortal series and I've read and liked Evermore, so I'm looking forward to reading about Riley. The fact that she's going to England to persuade a boy who's been haunting a castle to cross over the bridge is very intriguing.
