Sonya Loveday

Casted's main character is Jade, her parents died and at twelve years old she was left to fend for herself and on the run from the Triad. She didn't know why all the bad things happened to her and finally met two girls who she settled down in an a cottage with. Her friends were Spell Casters, Jade was not, or so she thought. This was until she was hunted again, she was saved by other Spell Casters and she was told who she really was.
From then on in things got a little crazy, she falls in love with Edge but is it only because they are pre-ordained. She has a book absorb itself into her mind along with a mystery woman who was from the Original coven.
During this time she is in even more danger as the Triad want the book, so not good news for Jade as the Triad are now killing coven members all over the world to find Jade.
Can Jade get the book and woman out of her head? Will she escape the Triad? You will have to read it to find out.
Wow I loved this book, it flowed at an even pace, there was never a dull moment and when I had put the book down I was left wanting to read more, so I did.
The detail in this book was fantastic and I felt like I got to know every character really well.
What a great debut and start of the series from Sonya Loveday.

Spelled is the second book in the Casted series and it carries on from where the first book left off but things soon change when Jade has her memory wiped and now she thinks that she is an Enforcer for the Traid. She bumps in to Edge who has also had his memory wiped so there is no recollection of each other.

Will Jade and Edge get their memories back and remember they are the good guys and not members of the Triad? will they get the book Lorenzo is hiding that is Leif bound too? or will the curse Elinor made kill Lorenzo and Jade at the same time.

This book kept me hooked from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. We meet new characters and they fit in well with the story we also learn more secrets and of course it is full of magic.

Another great book from Sonya Loveday.… (more)

Review
I absolutely love this group of friends, and how protective they are of Riley.
Riley doesn’t have many friends, except for the Six: Jared, Ace, Mark, Aiden and Eli. She’s used to being one of the guys, and constantly gets crap from the girls that want to be with them. She tries to do everything she can by herself. She’s a tough girl that has no qualms doing manual labor. I admire her for being such a strong female character. I love that each person in the group brings their own personality, and makes them all whole. I also love how loyal Paige is Riley. She’s the best friend a girl can have.
I always love Southern books. They have their own feel to them. It’s hard to explain, but it could also be because I’m from the south. Most of the book is Riley coming to grips with all of her best friends leaving. They have all chosen different paths for their lives. Riley isn’t sure what she’s going to do without them there to keep her company. I adored the love story, even if it’s bittersweet. I also like that Riley learns more about herself throughout the book, even when she seems like she’s falling apart.
There is love, heartbreak, and tragedy. All of these things will keep you enthralled from beginning to end. There is a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next book after the way this one ended.… (more)
