Book Blurb:

“I can’t just storm in and proclaim my intentions. I can’t ‘steal’ you away. I just have to wait and hope that, someday, you’ll ask,” Tamani said.

“And if I don’t?” Laurel said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Then I guess I’ll be waiting forever.”

Although Laurel has come to accept her true identity as a faerie, she refuses to turn her back on her human life—and especially her boyfriend, David—to return to the faerie world.

But when she is summoned to Avalon, Laurel’s feelings for the charismatic faerie sentry Tamani are undeniable. She is forced to make a choice—a choice that could break her heart.

My thoughts:

An amazing sequel to Wings! In Spells, Laurel faces a tough choice. She knows that it’s not fair to lead two separate lives and be falling for guys in both places. In Avalon, she learns the different class structures and had a hard time accepting their ways, but she also loves it there! At home, her mom is struggling to accept who Laurel is, and she faces danger head on as the trolls are still after her! There was only one problem (probably me, not the book) and I hate to admit this but reading Spells was sort of like reading New Moon for me…when Laurel wasn’t in Avalon or with Tamani, I found myself rushing through the story! Even with all the action taking place with David at home (and I mean fast paced, scary troll stuff) I still kept craving more Tamani! I don’t know why my connection to David isn’t that strong, he really is willing to risk everything for Laurel & how cute is that? I blame Tamani for having such a magical connection that can’t be beat 🙂 The ending to Spells blew me away, I’m giddy and can’t wait for the next book, Enchantments (due out April 8th 2011 according to Goodreads)!

I give Spells 4.5 out of 5 bookies.
