Stacey Brown is not your normal teenager. She casts spells of protection and remembrance, can predict your future with a deck of cards, and has prophetic dreams of a not-so-great tomorrow.

She also wets the bed.

When I first picked up Blue is for Nightmares, I was skeptical. I love books about magic and witchcraft, but this was a whole different world. It wasn't another book about the flashy magic I adored. The witchcraft in this book was actual (I think) Wiccan spells and rituals.

And I must say, I swallowed it down greedily.

I happened to get the 'Deluxe Spellbook Edition' which is loaded with fan-made spells and some poetry. A pleasant way to end a rather morbid book. I suggest you pick up this edition over the normal one. I don't think the price differs in the least.

So, what are you waiting for? Go out and pick up this book. Now! ( )

This book was good. However the last part of the book felt rushed and thrown together. Which is why I gave it a 3. If the ending was differently written with more closure or leading into book 2 I would have rated it higher. ( )

I did not love this book but I did not hate it either. I did enjoy that the story had me guessing "Who done it?" the entire time but I felt like it had me guessing because it was poorly organized not because it was cleverly written. Also, being a YA book I felt there was way too much needless vulgarity. I understand the emphasis a good "B(%#+" can have in a book but to have a number of page littered with them was way too much for my taste. I give this book a 2.5 out of 5 on my scale. ( )

The Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Faria Stolarz has been one of my favorites for a while now. These stories are about witchcraft. I love the darkness and suspense of these books. Certain aspects will really stick with you (the Miss Marry Mack rhyme in White is for Magic comes to mind. *shivers*) ( )

Very captivating and fun story. I was drawn to the characters. They were very real and at times humorous, which I enjoyed next to the creepy scenes. A fun read that keeps your attention. You want to know the end! Scary at times, and others just funny (in a good way), read this if you're looking for a light scare. ( )
