Spellcaster A Spellbound Novel Cara Lynn Shultz Books

Emma Connor and Brendan Salinger, reincarnated soulmates, managed to find each other and stop a centuries-old curse from brutally and prematurely taking them away from each other. They finally get their happy ending of a normal high school life (or at least as normal as they can get at a New York City private school)...for a few months.

Students at Vincent Academy and people all around the city who read the story of Emma's and Brendan's encounter with Anthony Caruso at Central Park are jealous of the high regard and love Brendan shows Emma. Not only do whispers and unwanted attention follow the happy couple, but an unknown evil intent on destroying their love and taking it for its own draws closer.

Remember how I said Spellbound worked well as a stand-alone? Well, I still believe that is true but I am so glad that Cara Lynn Shultz wrote a follow-up. Brendan and Emma, Angelique, Cisco, and Ashley are all such great characters that I was excited to revisit them and learn more about them and their lives.

I have loved Emman, Brendan, Cisco and Angelique since the beginning and they are even better in this new installment. Some of the jokes that Emma came up with made me snort. Just reading about Brendan made me forget my name. I would love to have Cisco around and Angelique would be a great person to count as a friend. Fans of Angelique, you will be happy to know that we get to read her point-of-view in two different spots in the book!

There was also so much mystery as well as a lot of secrecy from the reader! The build-up of suspense was fantastic. I would have been on the edge of my seat if I had not been lying in bed when Emma thought of her super-secret plan that the reader was not in on until it was executed. Spellcaster is riveting, hilarious, dangerous, and quirky!

Recommended for fans of young adult fantasy sixteen and older as well as fans of the first book, Spellbound.

Spellcaster A Spellbound Novel Cara Lynn Shultz Books Reviews

"Spellcaster," is the 2nd in a series of young adult books. It's about a teenage girl named Emma who moves to NYC only to find out not only is she a witch but she's the victim of an eternal curse. She discovers it when she meets her "Spellbound" (the first book) true love, Brendan. I won't tell you more than that, but I can tell you that the book series is truly entertaining. Cara has an amazing way of telling a congruent story, full of twists and turns with no plot holes and littered with the kind of humor that appeals to everyone from teens to adults. It's slightly off-color, never-offensive, very creative and always hilarious. Buy a copy for yourself, or a friend, family member, etc and see for yourself.
I absolutely could not wait for this book to come out, so I stayed up until midnight until my pre-order went through on my . It had everything I loved about the first book--swoony romance, action and a LOT of laugh-out-loud hilarious moments. I also really like how Emma and Brendan are with each other--they're very NORMAL when they're not, you know, fighting evil and all that stuff. They're funny and they tease each other and get annoyed at each other. They're just fun to read and I'd probably read an entire book just of their banter.
I also LOVE how Emma really grew in this. I'm going to reread Spellbound and then pick up Spellcaster again to get the full effect. She's a lot tougher. In the first book, Brendan had to save her, and here, it's on her to save Brendan. I like that the tables were turned and I liked her inner monologue throughout the whole thing.
Also, I LOVED the two chapters from Angelique's point-of-view. I really liked seeing Brendan from an unbiased perspective----he's a little bit of a lonely sad boy, which once you see it from Angelique's perspective, totally makes sense. I love how Shutlz did that. The insecurities he has are always bubbling under the surface.
All in all, a fantastic read and I can't wait to read more from this author!
Emma's and Brendan's relationship is at the center of this book. I love the fact that the author does not pretend that even though they are destined to be together that everything will be peachy. I enjoy the moments of turbulence due to Brendan's past and the moments of his insecurities. The best thing about this book though is Emma's discoveries of being a neophyte witch. The spells that she has to use to protect what is hers are interesting. The confidence that Emma has to have in herself and in the whole soul mate destiny makes her a wonderful heroine. I also love that her relationships with her friends continue to grow.

I bought this book automatically knowing I enjoyed the 1st one and I was reading something else at the time. I held this one off for awhile. Then I remembered, in Spellbound Emma and Brendan got their happily ever after. They broke the curse. So I was thinking, why a sequel? Why did I buy this?

Okay, so I would rate this a 3.5, it's a good follow up, it shows Emma and Brendan had more trouble ahead. I don't see a need for the book but it's a fun read. The first 4-5 chapters are slow and then the story picks up. I read those over weeks in between other books and then read from Chapter 6 on in one day.

The storyline is good, Kristen is back and mean as ever. There's a surprise as to who the villain is. Also some surprises with Emma. The humor is easily just as good for an adult as a young adult. I found myself laughing a lot at the conversations between Emma and Cisco, Jenn, Brendan, Kristen, and Angelique. There's also a lot of funny commentary. It ends with a nice epilogue and I would think that this would and should be the last book in the series. Let's just let Brendan and Emma be happy.

Cara Lyn Schultz is an excellent author and I'll be excited to see what she brings to the table next with new characters.
