After breaking a centuries-old romantic curse, Emma Connor is (almost) glad to get back to normal problems. Although…it's not easy dealing with the jealous cliques and gossip that rule her exclusive Upper East Side prep, even for a seventeen-year-old newbie witch. Having the most-wanted boy in school as her eternal soul mate sure helps ease the pain—especially since wealthy, rocker-hot Brendan Salinger is very good at staying irresistibly close….
But something dark and hungry is using Emma's and Brendan's deepest fears to reveal damaging secrets and destroy their trust in each other. And Emma's crash course in �berspells may not be enough to keep them safe…or to stop an inhuman force bent on making their unsuspected power its own.

"They're not looking at you. Those girls haven't noticed you, Emma. You're stealthy like a ninja. They're not looking at you." I repeated the mantra in my head as I pretended to study the beverage selection in the glass case before me, but a quick glance to the left told me I was lying to myself.
There, three girls in private-school uniforms similar to my own black, navy and green plaid one, were alternately staring at me and whispering to each other. I grabbed some iced tea out of the case and hurried to the cashier before they could say anything.
"It's fine, Emma. They're not going to say anything," I silently promised myself, nervously tapping the sole of my Mary Janes against a rack of candy as I waited in line. You really need to stop lying to yourself, Emma. They're so going to say something to you.
"Hey, are you, um… I'm not sure how to ask this," the tallest girl, with black hair extensions that seemed as long as her legs, asked as she scrutinized my face. I wished I were wearing sunglasses. And a hat. And a ski mask.
I sighed, having been through this before. Yes, I'm Emma Connor. I'm the one whose boyfriend, Brendan, risked his life to save me in an epic battle with psychopathic classmate Anthony in Central Park after the winter dance. But what you don't know is I used some of my secret magical powers to save us and you're totally making me late for my spell classes with my friend Angelique. She's a witch like me. That about cover it?
Okay, maybe I'd leave that last part out. Even I couldn't believe it, and I'd lived it. And I really didn't want to rehash the details of that night with some snooping schoolgirls.
"What she means is," interrupted the shortest girl, who shot Extensions Queen a nasty look as she toyed with the glittering platinum-and-diamond pendant around her throat, "are you that Emily person? The one from Vincent Academy that was in that big fight a while back?"
I opened my mouth to correct them—a few papers had gotten my name wrong—but then a brilliant idea came to me. Lie. Of course. Why don't I just lie?
"You know, I get that a lot." I laughed casually, darting a quick glance out of the street-facing windows. Brendan was out of sight, talking to a basketball teammate on his phone around the corner. Liam had called him with some kind of crisis, forcing Brendan to wait outside while I grabbed a drink—ice cream made me thirsty. "I think it's just that we both have long dark hair."
"But you know her, right?" Shorty pressed. "I mean, you go to the same school."
I was about to lie again, but then I remembered that Brendan had lent me his basketball team sweatshirt, since it was chilly out—and it bore the blue-and-gray Vincent Academy insignia.
"I've seen her in the halls and stuff." I shrugged, feigning indifference. "I don't know her-know her." And then a flash of inspiration came to me.
"But I've heard she's cool," I said. I briefly considered constructing some elaborate story about "Emily" saving orphans and nuns and kittens and maybe even a baby panda bear from a burning building. Instead I went with, "She's supposed to be really nice."
"She'd have to be." Shorty—clearly the ringleader of this little trio—sniffed in a knowing tone before leaning in to me conspiratorially. "That's how I knew you weren't her. I saw the pic the Post ran. You're, like, way prettier than that Emily person. Not like that's saying a whole lot."
I grimaced internally as Shorty threw her head back and laughed at her own joke, her dirty blond curls bouncing with every cackle. A few papers had run our photos along with the story—the pics from our school IDs. The horrible, slack-jawed photo made me look like a zombie who just staggered out of a George Romero movie. Brendan, of course, looked like he casually sauntered out of some carefully cast reality show about high school rock stars. And I looked like I wanted to eat his brains. Fantastic.
"She's so much cuter in person," I muttered.
"She'd have to be!" Shorty snickered and leaned closer again with a confidential whisper, as if we were best friends, all of a sudden. "I mean, that guy Brendan is hot as hell. He hooked up with my friend at a party last summer. That Emily girl was nothing special."
The trio laughed as I bit back a snort. Nothing special? How many newbie witches have you met in bodegas, Shorty?
"Yeah, I guess." I excused myself as gracefully as I could, the girls' gushing about Brendan's finer qualities mercifully silenced as the sticker-covered door to the bodega slammed shut behind me.
I took a swig of my iced tea, checking my reflection in the store window—I know someone who thinks you're special— before rounding the corner to meet him, more irritated at the reminder of Brendan's past conquests than anything.
My little storm cloud of anger dissipated as soon as I saw him leaning against the rough brick building behind him. He had just gotten a haircut, but I only knew this because he'd told me. His thick black locks were as unruly as ever, hanging into his piercing green eyes.
"There's my girl," he said, the corner of his mouth pulling up into a sly, sexy smirk. Even though there was a slight chill in the March air, thanks to a forecasted rainstorm, Brendan kept his black wool jacket hanging open, the school uniform's white button-down shirt concealing all the goodies that were underneath. I flicked his black tie away impatiently and rested my hands on the line of white buttons, trying not to think about how much more I liked this shirt when it was crumpled up in the corner of his bedroom two weeks ago. I couldn't help it: Brendan was abs-olutely pec-tacular, horrible puns intended and very accurate.
"Everything okay with Liam?" I asked, and Brendan nodded, an amused smile breaking out across his face.
"So you know how he got into a fight during last night's game?" I nodded as Brendan chuckled at the memory of how he and another player, Frank, had to hold Liam back from a mouthy player from Xavier High School. "Well, it was just some overheated shoving match, but little ol' Liam's freaking out. He thinks Coach Dunn's going to kick him off the team or suspend him or something."
"Do you really think he could get kicked off for that?" Liam was one of the few sophomores on the team, but he was still pretty impressive on the court.
"Nah, he'll be fine." Brendan shook his head dismissively. "Maybe he'll get benched for a game, that's it. He's just worried 'cause he's pretty new to the team. I mean, I got into a full-blown fistfight this year and I'm still on the team."
Brendan paused, then added smugly, "That was before you moved here. I knocked the guy out with one punch, you know."
I smiled indulgently. "Yes, I heard all about it, Braggy McBraggerson."
"Hey, that guy tripped me and then took a swing at me! I was merely acting in my own defense." Brendan pretended to be offended, holding his palms out innocently. "Liam will be fine—besides, it wasn't his fault. So after I told him to stop acting like a whiny little girl, I told him what to say to Coach Dunn, and to go right ahead and use me as an example. After all, Dunn only suspended me. It'll work out—if not, I'll go to Dunn myself and threaten to quit or something."
"You would do that for him?" My jaw dropped. Brendan was definitely one of the best players on the team—and he absolutely adored playing. It was one of the only things he liked about our school. As wealthy as his own family was, Brendan disregarded most students at Vince A, considering them all to be arrogant social-climbing snobs. And for the most part they were.
"It won't come to that, but why not? He's a good kid." He shrugged nonchalantly.
I couldn't help it, a big goofy smile spread across my face at the kind way he'd taken the sophomore under his wing. "Aw, look at you," I murmured, tugging on his black tie. "You're so cute."
"Ugh, come on, Em. Don't call me cute!" Brendan wrinkled his nose up, saying the word as if it pained him to pronounce it. "You say it the same way you talk about baby otters and those kitten videos you like. Guys don't like to be called cute."
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, you're so awesome and can bench-press a bus and do a billion push-ups," I drawled. "You're not cute or sweet at all. Better?"
"So much better." He chuckled, and I continued teasing him.
"You're the original badass. You can roundhouse kick a quarter and get five nickels." I held my fists up in the pose I'd learned from my kickboxing class, which I'd started taking after I healed from the winter dance, and pretended to kick Brendan.
"Oh, check it out, the mini-ninja has jokes," he teased, blocking my weak, halfhearted kick with his forearm. "Are you done making fun of me yet?"
"No, but I'll be nice and let you continue your story where you're not at all cute or sweet about Liam. The horror!" I stood back upright, grinning as Brendan gently tugged on the cowlick in my bangs.
"You're too much," he said, shaking his head at me and smiling. "And so what if I'm friends with Liam? He's a good kid." Brendan tilted his head, giving me one of his signature flirty smiles. "You know, you really should stop making fun of me, because it's all your fault, anyway."

Spellbound to this Series!
By Nikki Wang
Originally on Fiction Freak
*Complimentary copy provided. This does NOT affect my review in any way.*
This is book two of the Spellbound series and no, I have not posted the review forSpellbound yet. But I decided to post a review on Spellcaster simply because I feel as if book #2 is better the #1. I received this through NetGalley (amazing site!) and was so excited! I'm still not used to receiving eARCs or ARCs in general. I can't believe my blog is already 6-7 months old!
Away from nostalgia, Spellcaster made me realize why I loved Cara Lynn's writing so much. Not only did she create a whole bunch of legends and "spells" that caught my interest. You never really read a lot of stories about witches, you know? I mean, paranormal worlds have been taken over by the one we all know and love/hate: vampires. So reading a book with witches is different because they have advantages that vamps don't have, and disadvantages that vamps don't have. It wasn't disorienting, but you could notice the change in...creature? For me, witches just seem more fun, more human, because really, they are humans. Just with a few gifts. And witches are something you can twist into a "good" or "evil" whereareas vampires, for some reason, always stay "evil".
I loved the new conflict even better than the old one, where instead of just realizing that she was a witch who had found her soulmate, she had to fight for her soul mate. She had to get used to her powers. She had to learn how to control her gifts. And she had to trick a (quite literally) bloodthirsty witch who was hell-bent on making Emma pay. And all this a new witch has to deal with! Pretty intense. But Emma deals with it, still making time to care for her cousin, to still hide her secret, and deal with Kristin. So maybe emma's not as kickass as some other characters, but Emma is strong, in her own way. And I think that the way she deals with things is better than how she reacts with things. Emma is definitely badass in her own way.
Reading Spellcaster takes you to another one of Emma's past lives, and I think I'm starting to see a pattern here even with only reading two books in the series: (a)We readers will see a short clip of Emma's past lives through her dreams. (b) There will always be a story in Hadrian's Medieval Legends that replays in the "present" and (c) Brendan and Emma will always be one of the cutest couples ever. So far, in both books all three have been proven true! Spellcaster was an amazing read that reminded why I first started reading. The thrilling good versus evil fights, the soul mates, the witches, all clich�, but all new in Spellcaster! They say sequels are a disappointment, but are they really? Well, maybe some, but Spellcaster? Not. At. All. If you say differently, please, I do not want to hear it. You can try, but I doubt you'll convince me.

Great Sequel!
By TheReaderBee
Spellcaster is the much anticipated sequel to Spellbound, by Cara Lynn Shultz. I've been waiting on this sequel to be released for quite some now, and I'm thrilled to be able to read it!
After Emma and Brenden broke the curse to their eternal love in the previous book, you would think that like would be getting back to normal for them in this sequel. That's not exactly the case, however. Something dark and sinister is lying in wait, determined to destroy the loving couple. It's up to Emma, and her newfound power, to keep them both safe.
I really enjoy the main characters in this book. Emma is well on her way to becoming a really awesome witch. I love watching her become more sure of herself, and much more determined as well. Brenden is such a loving boyfriend, I love that he's willing to do anything to keep Emma safe. Their relationship is such a sweet one. As in the previous book, I really adore Emma's best friend, Angelique. She's quite the little witch herself, and I would love reading the parts of the book where she was included.
Spellcaster was very well paced, and included lots of action and suspense. The `bad guy' in the book was definitely an evil character; I kept waiting to see what would happen next. There was also a LOT of hilarious parts in the book. More than once I found myself laughing at a line I had just read. I love a book that can make me laugh.
Overall, this was a great sequel to Spellbound. The kick-butt characters, funny moments, engrossing plot all come together to make a very intense read! I loved it, and can't wait to read more from this Mrs. Shultz!
Happy Reading!

Great sequel!
By Fall Into Books
Wow. I thought that surely Shultz outdid herself with Spellbound, but I was wrong. Spellcaster is fantastic! It picks up where Spellbound left off, with Emma and Brendan dealing with the fallout from Anthony's attack. Anthony is still MIA, and the police believe that his father is hiding him somewhere in Europe. However, no one is sure where Anthony really is. Also, someone is out to get Emma and Brendan... again. These poor kids can't get a moment's peace. Spellcaster is an extremely suspenseful read. Emma and Brendan have to battle new and old enemies, and the novel is packed full of action, romance, adventure, and mystery. This is one book you do not want to miss.
Spellcaster has everything I loved about Spellbound, but the pacing is faster. Spellbound started off kind of slow at first, but Spellcaster jumps right into the action. We find out pretty quickly that something is after Emma, but we don't know what it is. Even after we find out who is behind her attacks, there is still a mystery surrounding who is helping Emma's attacker. While I had a good idea who was helping Emma's attacker, I wasn't 100% sure until it was revealed. Shultz leaves hints along the way, but she does a good job at keeping you guessing.
Emma's character has grown so much since Spellbound, and she grows even more in Spellcaster. She still has her sarcastic sense of humor, but she is much more mature. She has a lot of difficult decisions to make in this novel, and some of her decisions really surprised me... in a good way. When I finished this book, I was very proud of the character she's become. Emma is a strong heroine who fights for those she loves without sacrificing who she is. She won't let anyone push her around, and I really admire that about her.
Brendan is just as sweet as ever, and if you didn't completely fall in love with him during Spellbound, you definitely will in this book. He goes to great lengths to ensure Emma's happiness, and it's obvious that he's become her best friend as well as her soul mate. They make a great team, and their interactions show that they are growing as characters together. They have a healthy and respectful relationship. I wish more YA books had characters like these two.
A cool thing Shultz did in this book was tell a couple of chapters from Angelique's perspective. This really allows the us to get to know our favorite goth girl a bit better. Angelique has some new powers that she's learning to deal with, and her POV made the story more complex. We also find out what her problem is with Brendan and how she's working to overcome their differences. Angelique was one of my favorite characters in Spellcaster.
There is a lot more magic in Spellcaster than there was in Spellbound, and I really enjoyed that. Emma is learning how to be a witch, and while she has some problems focusing her emotions, her powers always seem to work when she needs them most. We also get to meet Angelique's cousin, Miranda, and she's an interesting addition to the book.
The plot, as I stated, is a page turner. It's quick moving, and the pacing is perfect. The ending wraps everything up nicely, but there is room for a sequel. I hope this series is at least a trilogy because I love the world that Shultz has created. Spellcaster will entrance you and keep you under its spell until the last page.
