Title: SpellcasterSpellcaster was a great, fun, refreshing read. This reminded me so much of the Secret Circle, which I am in love with. I have never read a Claudia Gray book, but have heard great things about her Evernight series so I was excited to dive into this book. In addition to how great it sounded, the book cover is also super gorgeous.

When Nadia’s family moves to Captive’s Sound, she instantly realizes there’s more to it than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia senses a dark and powerful magic at work in her new town. Mateo has lived in Captive’s Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that his family is cursed - and that curse will cause him to believe he’s seeing the future … until it drives him mad. When the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl—Nadia—from a car accident come true, he knows he’s doomed.
Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break the chains of his family’s terrible curse, and to prevent a disaster that threatens the lives of everyone around them. Shimmering with magic and mystery, New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray’s new novel is sure to draw fans of the Hex Hall and Caster Chronicles series, and fans of the hit CW TV show The Secret Circle.
I never tire from reading about witches or anything paranormal for that matter. Come to think of it I’ve been on a witch kick lately.
Spellcaster is about a young girl named Nadia who moves to a small town called Captive Sound with her dad and little brother, after her mother leaves them. Nadia’s family is a line of witches, well the girls in her family. Her mother left her before completely training her to be a witch though, which leaves her vulnerable.
When entering the town of Captive’s Sound, there is a barrier up which causes Nadia’s family to wreck. A stranger pulls Nadia out of the car which saves her. She later finds out his name is Mateo. Things take off from this point.
To the town of Captive’s Sound Mateo is crazy just like the rest of his family, and everyone avoids him at all costs. Everyone except for Gale and Elizabeth (his friends), and of course Nadia. On Nadia’s first day she makes another unlikely friend named Verlaine. Verlaine is another outcast at school, with her long silver hair and funky style no one has anything to do with her either.
Soon Nadia discovers that this small town is not all that it seems, there is a dark evil lurking and she is determined to find out what it is with the help of Mateo and Verlaine. Will Nadia be able to figure things out and fix them without being a full witch is the question.
If you love witchy books, pick this up! It was fun, suspenseful, and creative! I can’t wait for book number two in this trilogy.
