"You scare me, and I'm from Hell"Spellcaster is a book about a young, inexperienced witch called, Nadia. After her mother ditches her, her brother and their father; Nadia and her family are distraught and move to Captives Sound to "start fresh." As they arrive at Captives Sound, a magical barrier reacts to Nadia's own Book of Shadows and causes their car to crash into a lake. Enter Mateo. The hunk with sad eyes who saves Nadia from drowning in the lake. Instant love and attraction. *eye roll.*This was a very pleasant surprise. I have seen a few reviews go up that werent that encouraging but after about 100 pages in I was hooked. I wont say that this was the greatest book ever written or that it tops Grays Evernight series, but Spellcaster did hold my attention and honestly a reader cant ask for more than that..Spellcaster was very different than what I was expecting. Nadia was definitely an interesting character and Grays take on magic is one that I havent seen before. I am used to
Unlike many of my friends, I quite liked this author's Evernight series, which was filled with surprises and interesting relationships (and not just romantic ones). It's disappointing to find this novel, about a young witch named Nadia, to be so very predictable, lacking in excitement, and fairly cookie cutter in its PNR plot. DNF at 210 pages. Worst of all, though--four third person (non-omniscient) POVs, with at least one bonus page from a bird's perspective. :-/ Bleh. Still like this author,

I tried with this one, you guys, I really did. I really enjoyed Gray's previous effort, "Fateful", and I have yet to read her debut series, but I was definitely hoping for more than what I got in this first book of her new trilogy, "Spellcaster". And while some of the technical areas weren't too bad at all, the rest desperately needed work. If you're looking for something new and fresh in the PNR area of things in YA, you might want to look elsewhere.Did anyone else get a very, very STRONG

This book is rated anywhere between 1.5 to 2.5 stars, depending on what exactly we're talking about. The sad thing is, I was pretty disappointed by this book. Even sadder is that I'm not that surprised either. Maybe it's because it seemed like one of those typical YA storylines: girl
3.5 stars.
