Summary taken from Goodreads:
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.
The Cover: I really love these covers. Both Spellbound and Spellcaster have very intricate covers. Parts of the entire story are told through the cover. I appreciate the detail and the thought that has gone into creating this cover- taking bits and pieces from the story has the potential to end up looking like an 8 year olds collage project- but this cover is gorgeous!
The Characters: All of the characters that we have gotten to know in the first book are back. Will and Emma are still making goo goo eyes at each other and Angelique is still BFFs with Emma. Angelique is teaching Emma spells and is attempting to help her harness her powers. Ashley and Cisco are still in this story, but absolutely take more of a backseat to Will, Emma, and Angelique. Kristen is still the horrible person that she was in the first book, obviously not learning anything from the terrible things that had happened.
