I read another series by Marianne Curley that was written similar and had a similar plot to Old Magic so I was not that impressed by this book. I read it in a few hours however and if you ever happen to have this book and a day by the pool go ahead and pick it up to enjoy yourself some young adult fantasy. On the other hand if you don't have this book or a pool, don't bother--pick up a better written book and a cozy corner. (  ) laurenbethy | Jun 16, 2009 |  Old Magic by Marianne Curley has everything, curses, romance, and time travel. The point of view also switches between Kate and Jarrod, making the story that much more interesting. I would recommend this book and the Guardians of Time Trilogy (also by Marianne Curley) to any fantasy book lover. (  ) midnighttwilight101 | Mar 13, 2009 | Told in semi-alternating chapters each one narrated by either Jarrod or Kate, we learn about their adventures and more about the two of them, this works really well and helps maintain a sprightly pace that keeps the pages turning (you want to learn what the other feels or thinks about what is happening. Both of the main characters are mostly likeable, although Kate’s persistence in pushing Jarrod to accept the truth before he is ready, does want to make you want to knock some sense into her. ;) Certainly worth the read if you come across a copy.

( ) actinie | Sep 26, 2008 | After finishing harry potter,and the pellinor books,i decided to give more fantasy a go, i saw this book had great ratings,so i got it out from my libary..Erm,its ok, but very forgettable in my opinion. im 20yrs old, maybe this is why? i just assumed it was an adult read. Now alot of books marked as 'teen' are just as good for adults, but this one sadly, is not. i found nothing to excite me, all i cared about was finishing the book,as once i start a book i HAVE to finish it..odd i know. Anyway, this book would maybe of intrested me more if i were 11/12.. for anybody above 15 though,i cant see them enjoying this. (  ) Leonna87x | Mar 10, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

but Kate Warren doesn't know why.
The moment the new guy walks into the room, Kate senses something strange and intense about him. Something supernatural. Her instincts are proven correct a few minutes later when, bullied by his classmates, Jarrod unknowingly conjures up a freak thunderstorm inside their classroom.
Jarrod doesn't believe in the paranormal. When Kate tries to convince him that he has extraordinary powers that need to be harnessed, he only puts up with her "hocus pocus" notions because he finds her captivating. However, the dangerous, uncontrolled strengthening of his gift finally convinces Jarrod that he must take Kate's theories seriously. Together, they embark on a remarkable journey -- one which will unravel the mystery that has haunted Jarrod's family for generations and pit the teens against immense forces in a battle to undo the past and reshape the future.
