Lately I’ve taken a bit of a nose dive with paranormal reads, whereas before I couldn’t get enough and use to devour them in one sitting, I feel as though many continue to follow the same clichéd paths and thus are unable to keep my attention.

However with Spectral I was first drawn to it because of the cover; it had a mesmerising allure to it and my interest was piqued by reading the blurb, what was up with Jewel? And what does fate have in store for her?

Jewel and her family have been on the run for as long as she can remember. They’ve never had the chance to settle down in one place long enough for Jewel to make friends, as her family are in witness protection. Whenever the so called “mob” turns up after her family they have to quickly move to another place. However this time around after settling into their new place strange things start happening, her family seem tenser than before and then her Aunt Eva, Uncle Bernie and gran turn up, they plan to stay with Jewel’s family until her 17th birthday which is weird as they have never stayed with them before. On top of that aunt Eva starts calling the shots around the house, taking over Jewel’s mothers responsibilities, insisting Jewel take her phone with her everywhere and deciding who she can and cannot hang around with. What exactly are they hiding from her? She hears their whispered conversations about protecting her until her 17th birthday but why?

The reason I enjoyed reading Spectral was because for once there were no signs of vampires, werewolves or shape shifters, it was good to get a break from them and focus on something else for a change. Also because we found ourselves in the same position as Jewel; we had no clue as to what was going on, the only bits and bobs of information we got were from over hearing conversations and what others were telling us. So like Jewel we really had no idea about who to believe.

What also made Spectral an interesting read were the two hot guys; Roman and Chase, gosh they were swoon worthy. I honestly didn’t know who I liked more; on the one hand you had Chase, who had a ripped body, had Jewel’s back covered and wore his heart on his sleeve and then there was Roman, who was enigmatic, had luscious lips and a sexy accent, both of these guys had my heart pumping frantically.

“Kissing Roman was like opening presents on
Christmas morning; you could never tell what
would be wrapped up in each one, but it always
held a promise of something magical”.

Overall Spectral was an enjoyable debut about betrayal and testing where your loyalties lie, but also a story tinged with swoony scenes and a sweet romance.

Thank you to Tribute Books for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Spectral opens with Jewel having no idea what she is. As far as she’s concerned, her father did something when she was a baby and they have been in the witness protection programme ever since, often having to run for their lives in the spur of the moment.

As far as she’s concerned, her father did something when she was a baby and they have been in the witness protection programme ever since, often having to run for their lives in the spur of the moment. They are constantly on the run and moving from place to place. So, she is somewhat surprised to come home from school one day to find her grandmother and an aunt and uncle at her house. When she overhears them having a conversation about her being the Spectral and coming into her powers on her 17th birthday, one month away, she doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Then she meets the hot new guy at school, Roman. He tells her that he’s her guardian, that she’s in danger, and he explains to her what the Spectral is.

For the most part, Jewel was an ok, likable character. She seems fairly smart and able to quickly accept things and work things out for herself when required. But then, she comes up with a really stupid reasoning, and follows this up with some stupid actions that had me really mad while reading, at this point to be honest, I felt like giving up. Thankfully, she eventually figures out her mistake. In my opinion it was out of character for her.

There is kind of a love triangle, but personally, I didn’t feel I ever learned enough about Chase to have any strong feelings for him so Roman was always the guy I was rooting for. Though I think it was always obvious the direction it was going to take. Roman was a good character and I liked him more than any of the others, but I couldn’t say I had a deep connection with any of them.

The relationships move very quickly to start with but do ease off somewhat so that I couldn’t really say its insta love. But not an enjoyable build up either.

Despite my negativity so far, the overall storyline is quite enjoyable and imaginative. Shannon has a decent writing style and the book had a nice flow. The ending is good with some fast paced action, but also some sad scenes. Spectral was overall, a fairly enjoyable read.

I love a good witch book, so I had to read this the second it was available, and I wasn't disappointed. Jewel is an amazing character. Her parents have been lying to her her entire life, and it leaves Jewel feeling disconnected from everyone, except her little brother. And she has good reason for feeling this way. I won't give spoilers, so you'll have to read it to find out what I mean, but let me just say that Duffy throws a twist in here that is truly awesome. Actually, she throws quite a few...more

Every story has its own theme. Even if it’s a premise that’s been done before, execution makes all the difference. Light, fun and predictable can still succeed. It mostly did for Spectral.

The plot both worked for me and it didn’t. The opening chapter drops the reader into an active scene full of tension. Curiosity had me flipping pages to get all the details explaining Jewel’s life in the witness protection program and why her family was moving yet again. As a reader, I was definitely sucked in...more

Finally they arrive at their new home and things start to change, as her seventeenth birthday nears closer and closer Jewel starts to uncover secrets about her family, if they really are her family that is…This is when we mean hot and mysterious Roman, now ladies let me just emphasize on HOTTIE. Shannon Duffy portrays Roman in a way that will have you wanting to trade places with Jewel, or at least I felt that way! But if one “hottie” isn’t enough, we also get to meet the sweet and charming Chase. Two very tempting boys and only one Jewel. Wouldn’t you want to be in her place? Poor Jewel is left with so many questions when she is told that Roman is her guardian and she is in danger, all because her birthday is around the corner and her birthmark is a sign that she is someone very special, someone that a lot of people either want for themselves or want dead…

When I first came across Spectral I was in awe of the cover, like I have stated before a cover is really a main seller for me besides the blurb. Having graduated with a degree in graphic design I know how important it is to come up with a design and color scheme that will draw in the readers attention. Spectral accomplished this for me. Looking at the cover now though, you could NEVER have guessed what the book was about, I loved that because it adds a bit of mystery and makes you want to read the book to find out more about the girl on the cover. After reading the book I now understand the significance of the butterfly, if you want to know, you have to read it as well.

It has been a while since I have read a book that focuses solely on witches, honestly I liked the change and this book has sparked my interest to look for other “witch” books once again. I do hope that Shannon Duffy continues this as a series as this book left me wanting more! I mean there just has to be more to the story of Spectral? One thing I did notice, for those that like their books to have a fairly decent amount of romantic scenes, their weren’t as many in this book, it didn’t bother me as much, actually to be quite honest I didn’t mind it at all, I was captivated by the story unraveling in front of me that my attention wasn’t focused as much on the romance part, though when those parts did come up I loved it! My mind was racing with questions such as who, when, where, what, how and why?

Though a bit slow at the start for me the rest of the book carried a nice pace. The suspense that was throughout the book kept my interest the whole way through. Shannon has created a new world for us to dive into, and I cant wait to see what she plans to do for future books.

This is definitely a book to pick up when you are looking for a read that will deliver suspense, mystery, action, a few hot guys with a bit of romance and of course the paranormal.

I have been honored again to review another great book from Tribute Books. I am loving these books, but so far they have all been YA Contemporary Romance books. I loved them all, but you guys know I breathe the paranormal. I have been dying for a paranormal read from this awesome publisher and I finally got it through Spectral. I am head over heels for this book. I mean, the cover alone begs to be read. How gorgeous is that? If you are looking for a YA PNR filled with mystery and action, look no further.

Our main character Jewel believes her and her family are on the run. She thinks they are in the witness protection program. They don't stay in one location for very long. They end up in a new location and, of course, Jewel (this time's false identity of True) is just tired of the running. She can't make friends or let people know who she really is because people are out to kill her family. Jewel soon realizes through a little accidental eavesdropping, she's a Spectral. A Spectral is a witch that is so powerful, they make their covens more powerful and protect them. Unfortunately, past Spectrals have been so crazy, other clans want to kill them before they turn seventeen; when they gain their powers. And Jewel's 17th birthday is only a couple of weeks away.

I loved our character Jewel. She is just a teenage girl that wants to live a normal life. I love how well she handles things...well most of the time. She was smart enough not to let her family know she knows they have been lying. She is strong even when she doesn't think she is. I also love the relationship she had with her brother Jayden, they were so adorable together. He was nothing like my brother who acted like a total brat from day 1. Nonetheless, the relationship between them is very strong even though her family has been lying to her. Almost had a tear in my eye at one point when she tries to protect him. Also can't forget Taylor, the girl she quickly becomes friends with her first day of school. They may barely know each other, but they almost felt like sisters to me and that was definitely something Jewel needed.

There is a love triangle and I was drooling over both guys. Chase is the sexy, blonde jock. Roman is the dark, sexy musician. Oh and Roman just happens to know who and what Jewel really is. I liked their chemistry a lot more though. Duffy did a great job building mystery around him and whether or not he could be trusted. I love my romance to keep me at the edge of my seat. And boy was I.

The villains in this book are insane. I mean truly nuts. Witches from all around the world wanted Jewel for her power or to just kill her since, as mentioned in the book, she is Armageddon with legs. Again, Duffy had me turning the pages like a mad woman. I had to know the who and the why. The twists will definitely have you reeling. Always know I have a winner when I end up screaming, "Oh my God! No she didn't just do that!" Trust me, you will be doing that a few times with this book.

I love the story. I just couldn't put this down. Man, I have been finding a lot of addictive books recently. I am on a roll. I love it. It is story full of mystery, lies and deception. This whole book is based on trust and it seems everywhere Jewel turns, someone wants to stab her. Literally. And there are witches! I never get to read as much witch stories as I would like and Duffy has reminded me that I need to change that. I really love the idea of a Spectral and how they come about. Such a unique concept.

Another highly recommended read. It just has everything I could want in a story. I was so intrigued with this book. Nothing was predictable, I truly didn't know what was going to happen next. It is nice finding a story that will keep you guessing. And when you think you figured it out, it throws you something else you didn't see coming. Seriously people, read this book now. You won't regret it. (less)

Summary From Goodreads:

Convinced she’s a part of the witness protection program, sixteen-year-old Jewel Rose is shuffled around the globe with her family like a pack of traveling gypsies. After arriving at lucky home twenty-seven, she stumbles upon a mysterious boy with magical powers claiming to be her guardian . . . and warning of imminent danger. Despite the obvious sparks between them, Jewel discovers a relationship is forbidden, and the more she learns about dark, brooding Roman, she begins to question who she can even believe—the family who raised her, or the supposed sworn protector who claims they’ve been lying to her all along.

As she struggles to uncover who her family has really been running from, she is forced to hide her birthmark that reveals who she is. With new realities surfacing, unexplained powers appearing, and two tempting boys vying for her heart, Jewel battles to learn who she can trust in an ever growing sea of lies, hoping she’ll make it through her seventeenth birthday alive.

Review: I read this book in one night. I couldn’t put it down, I needed more. The world building done was pretty spectacular. Shannon Duffy was brilliant, because she unveiled little snippets of info that then blew into huge events. The whole time while reading I didn’t know who was the bad guys. I would think I had it figured out and then BAM , info snippet!

Jewel was easy to relate to while reading, which I enjoyed. I actually think in real life the two of us could be friends. Her struggles felt like mine and I pictured myself beside her during the whole book. I’m not weird, that’s not weird people! Books can take you places and this one certainly did for me. Roman was an interesting guy that hit all the right points for me. I could not for the life of me decide if he was good or bad, until the end of the book. The emotional tension and depth added by bringing him into the story was perfect.

This novel has a ton of stuff being thrown at you at any given time, which made me hooked to it! I really have no idea how the time reading it went by so past. It was like I was transported into the book and then kicked out!! Shannon Duffy is now a new favorite author of mine and I cannot wait for her next novel! GET SPECTRAL NOW!!!!

Spectral was an exciting read from the beginning to end. I was drawn in after only a few pages, and didn't put the book down until I was finished. This story really had me turning the pages. It's really hard to believe that this is the author's debut novel. I would have thought after reading this story that she has always been a writer.

Jewel Rose is your typical 16 year old teenager, but her problems sure aren't typical. She has spent her whole life on the run living as Gypsy's believing her family is in the witness protection program. All she longs for is a normal life for her, and her little brother Jayden, but she doesn't see that happening anytime soon. It's not safe for her and her family, and all of a sudden they are forced to move again.

This move is a little harder for Jewel, she had just started to make real friends at her school. Her seventeenth birthday is coming up in a month, and that's the day that all is to be revealed. Jewel wants to know what it is that her family is involved in, that has caused their life to be like it is. She never gets real answers from her parents, they are always vague. The one thing her parents always drill in her is 1. Don't forget your new name, 2. Never show your strange birthmark to anyone, it's to identifying. Jewel is tired of all the secrecy, and sets out to get answers on her own.

Upon entering her new school, Jewel meets two people right away Trish, and Chase. They are both friendly to her, and she is grateful. She is instantly attracted to the jock Chase, and he likes her too. Then she meets Roman, and she is instantly drawn to him as well. He is new to town like her, and has a air of mystery that she can't resist. Jewel is confused about her attraction to Roman, and in the beginning can't decide which one she wants more.

Roman is sweet, and protective of her. He finally admits to Jewel that he knows who she is, what she is, and that he was sent to protect her. At first it freaks her out, but the more she gets to know him, the more she trust him. This sends Jewel on a journey of discovery, about who she is , what she is, and what the consequences will be if she doesn't discover the whole truth.

After doing a little eavesdropping, and research, Jewel discovers that she is a Spectral. A special kind of witch, and that is the reason her life is in danger. Worse she discovers Roman hasn't exactly been honest with her, and she's running out of people she can trust. Jewel realizes that she has to be strong, and her journey of discovery will take her from the warm shores of Florida, to the Kremlin in Russia, and finally the heart of Venice, Italy. Will Jewel live to see her seventeenth birthday, and the truth revealed? Read Spectral and find out.

I'm at a loss of words to explain how much I enjoyed this book. Was it wonderful? Brilliant? Exciting? All of the above? Yes, yes it was! This story drew me in completely after only a few pages, I didn't want to put it down, and finished it in one sitting. The author did an amazing job with the world building, and I loved the new take on witches. I don't really read witch stories, or YA that much, but I have to say I'm starting to love it.

You see Jewel grow so much in this story, she grows from this naive teenage girl, to this strong confident young adult. I love the chemistry between her, and Roman. I thought they were great together, and was rooting for them the whole time. The romance was sweet, and genuine in my eyes. I liked Chase as a character, and good friend, but I just couldn't see him with Jewel. This story did take me on a emotional roller coaster though. Some of the revelations were heart stopping, and some of the twist in the story I didn't see coming at all.

I also loved the relationship between Jewel, and her little brother Jayden. It was so cute, and sweet. I felt like the love, affection, and protectiveness was completely genuine. When I finished this book, I had a big goofy grin on my face, and was very pleased with the ending, and the general outcome of the book. I had no lingering questions, and was just happy about how the events unfolded.

I would definitely recommend Spectral to anyone who wants to be swept away inside an exciting, thrilling page turner. I would even recommend it to people who don't normally read YA. That's how much I enjoyed it.

Now known as True, since every location requires a name change, Jewel faces her seventeenth birthday in a new town with no friends. Then she meets Chase and Roman. She's drawn to both boys, but Roman is different. Soon she finds out, so is she.

The story takes the reader through a maze of self-discovery with scenes full of emotion, confusion, action, peril, and romance. Jewel is drawn to Roman, who declares himself her guardian, but she's had so many people lie to her that it's hard to trust anyone fully. Her true destiny unfolds before her in a race against time that takes her from home to Russia and Italy.

What I found most endearing about this story... the strong teenage voice of Jewel. In between running for her life, she complains about the color pink or debates her boyfriend choices. She's fiercely devoted to the idea of family, but she still gets annoyed when they tell her she can't go to a party. Jewel is a character that will stick with me. I don't know if Shannon Duffy intends on making this a series, but I sure hope so. I'm not ready to be done with Jewel yet. Or Roman. My only complaints: some of the story elements seemed rushed, and I wanted more of Roman and Jewel.

I highly recommend Spectral to readers who enjoy a well crafted coming of age story with interesting and engaging characters. The paranormal aspect adds to the story, but Jewel could be any teenager struggling with finding herself while surrounded by adults who think they know best. But, not to fear, the witchcraft elements are captivating and unlike any I've read to date.

I often struggle to find books for my daughter, an advanced 12-year-old reader. Books classified young adult can be inappropriate for young teens. Spectral, however, is a book I would pass on to her. The romance is sweet and, in my opinion, acceptable for younger young adult readers. While there's plenty of action, none of it seemed over the top or too scary.

I received a complimentary copy for review purposes. A positive review was not requested or guaranteed; the opinions expressed are my own.(less)

Her dad apparently got into something bad (it’s never the right time for him to explain, her parents say) and the family moves at least twice a year. Her little brother Jayden handles it better than she does, managing to make friends, however temporarily. Jewel has to navigate the minefield of another high school and not fitting in with the cliques.

Jewel thinks this year might be different. Her parents seem to be hinting that when she turns seventeen things will change, whatever that means. She has a great friend at school, the bubbly and fun Taylor, and two boys seem to be interested in her. They’re night and day – Chase is the golden athlete and Roman is dark, dangerous and sexy. The golden athlete may be what’s good for her but it’s Roman who attracted her – until he starts spouting some garbage about being her guardian who’s there to protect her until she turned seventeen. Then he was just some whack job.

Jewel starts to wonder if maybe there was some truth to what Roman said when odd things start happening. Her extended family that she hasn’t seen in years suddenly show up including her sour-faced aunt, and they’re all oddly pre-occupied with her birthday. She overhears a conversation between her family about a “Spectral” that she thinks may be her and she’s not reassured by what she finds when she looks it up at the library. She’s damn scared, actually. Turning to Roman seems like a good idea, except Roman is part of something her head tells her she can’t trust. She knows now what a Spectral – she – is and what she’ll be able to do and why every coven but her own true one is out to either kill her or possess her.

There was an issue or two that kept me from really loving this entirely, but I still enjoyed this one. The strongest aspect of the book for me was the characters. The supporting group was all great; there wasn’t a single one that I wouldn’t want to see in a sequel. Taylor wasn’t a token friend. She cared about Jewel and had her own clear and likeable personality. I loved Jewel’s little brother Jayden. He was so adorable and cute my teeth practically ached. I’m pretty sure no eight-year-old like him is in existence but it was fun to read about him and he never turned into a plot moppet. I even enjoyed how the bad guys were written. Jewel’s aunt was very close to being hilarious with her over-starched panties and the lemon she was sucking on.

I liked Jewel a lot too. She was somewhere in between the character that refuses to believe what they are until it’s too late and the one who accepts it so easily that it’s ridiculous. She’s a smart girl that wants answers but she wants them on her own terms, she’s not willing to just take anyone’s word for it, given that she’s been jerked around so much. It was really sweet how much she loved her little brother and what she’s willing to do for him and for everyone else she loves. Which brings me to – dun dun dun – the love triangle. The bane of my existence, matched only by insta-love. But wait, there’s that too. Sob. The consolation prize is that Jewel figures out who she wants and feels uncomfortable when she’s close to the other guy. So maybe it’s more like three angled lines that come close to closing in a triangle but don’t actually meet?

The guys aren’t as fleshed out as Jewel but they’re nice YA hottie fare. Chase is the all-American nice guy, willing to be your best friend and protector if he can’t be your boyfriend (but he thinks the guy who doesn’t treat you right is a jerk, you know?). Roman is all misunderstood and brooding sexiness, full of stories he can’t tell and secrets he has to keep to protect Jewel but if he could be with her, he’d love her for eternity. But, you know, he can’t.

Since the MCs are teenagers, this is in the young adult category but there wasn’t much about them that said YA to me. It could be easily explained that, of course Jewel would know her way around a Russian airport, she’s been moving around for years, but it still sat uncomfortably with me. Roman is just a teenaged boy but he’s been tasked with finding the first Spectral in hundreds and hundreds of years? Roman and Jewel’s characters at least felt consistent, even if they were in a high school situation part of the time so it didn’t feel unusual that the characters having coffee in the library at the beginning of the book would be in some witch battle in Russia later on. Other than the romance, add five years to Jewel’s age and the story would have worked just as well.

When I finished this and looked back at my scribbles, I realized this was much tamer than I remembered it being. Jewel thinks about what she feels for Roman, how hot he is and they frantically embrace a lot. Not leaving Chase out in the cold, he’s shirtless once in a while and has a great chest. He’s a nice guy too, which counts for something. Emotionally it’s PG, physically, G.

Reading the second half of the book, I kept having this feeling that this was something I’d seen somewhere and the closest I can get is The Bourne Identity. It fits, given some of the crazy things Jewel does in Russia and Venice. The author did a great job building the story of the Spectral, creating a detailed setting around her and writing characters that I really liked. For a story that placed a lot of emphasis on covens though, there was not a lot about them. When I think covens, I think witches, but these aren’t the Earth Mother kind or the ones who’d go to Hogwarts to study spells. The members of these covens kind of fall into two categories: the thugs who can do freaky things and the superheroes who may or may not be the good guys. With each member having their own talent or power, when they go at it, it’s a mass of flying lasers, people moving with super speed, levitation and invisibility. It’s very action hero-esque and kind of fun but not exactly witchy in any traditional sense.

I didn’t have any real idea what to expect of Jewel’s powers from the synopsis but the word “coven” didn’t cross my mind. I like the way they were written, complete with laser blasts and floating around. I could have lived without the love triangle and more information or a little peek into coven business would have been good, but the characters were wonderful and mostly made me forget any irritation. Now that the world is built, I would love a sequel.(less)

YA readers will certainly be kept guessing while reading Shannon Duffy's debut book, "Spectral" this summer! The plot is a perplexing one, and the characters serve to keep one guessing almost to the end about the crux of their life-style and the problem that keeps them running. Jewel's birthmark and special qualities are featured and decidedly interesting. Duffy's beautiful book cover will grab lots of ebook followers, is my guess, which is first and foremost in the the YA fiction crowd these da...more

Spectral by Shannon Duffy is a supernatural romance that held my attention to the very end. It was a fun read, but it was very predictable. From the very beginning it was obvious Jewel would end up in a love triangle with the cute boy, Chase, who she is instantly attracted to, and the dark, mysterious Roman, who she feels an intense connection with. But, even though Spectral may be a little cookie cutter to begin with, as the story progresses I felt it morphed into something all it's own.

Jewel is an alright heroine. She wasn't very strong or smart or special, besides her spectral powers, but she sort of starts to grow on you as the story progresses. Really, my only complaint is that Jewel is a little on the whiny side. She's one of those characters who depends on other people to help her instead of helping herself, even though she's about to become an insanely powerful witch. But I do think she's got the potential to become a serious butt kicker in the future, what with being the spectral and all.

There was a part within the first few chapters that bugged me. Jewel goes to a bar with her friends and both sides of her love triangle, Roman and Chase, are there. She hangs with Chase for a bit, but then she notices Roman there and waves to him. She doesn't run across the room and leap into his arms, just waves politely from her place across the bar. But Chase doesn't like that very much. He doesn't yell at her, but he shows his displeasure that she might like another guy. Then, Jewel proceeds to say something completely idiotic in the vein of, "He's just a friend, don't be mad at me." Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait up a minute here! She just met this dude the day before. Both dudes, actually. Chase has no claim on her, he's not her boyfriend, he's not her date for the night, she just happened to run into him at the bar, where she was actually going to see Roman play guitar. So, technically, she was meeting Roman at the bar, which means she owes Chase absolutely ZERO explanation as to why she's waving at Roman. I'm sorry, but this situation seemed very "possessive boyfriend" to me, and, like I said, she's known both guys exactly one day. Don't be mad at me? That's absolute crap and Jewel should be ashamed of herself for letting some guy she doesn't even know make her feel like she has something to apologize for. I started off thinking I might be Team Chase, but this scene immediately sent me over to Team Roman. But, honestly, I would've ended up Team Roman anyway. He's hotter. And not a possessive jerk!

All in all, I enjoyed Spectral. It's got this Disney Original Movie vibe to it. At least, that's the vibe I was getting from it. I liked it. It's a fun book about witches, high school, and hot boys. I recommend it to anyone looking for a light and cute supernatural story that will make them smile.

Review:

First-off, I must acknowledge Spectral's amazing cover art - the color palette is ethereal and alluring to the senses! It is one of my favorite covers of 2012, as is the story-line. This paranormal romance is anything but ordinary, with more page-turning thrills and hunky heart-throbs then the usual offerings of the supernatural genre. Chase, Stefano and Roman can "guard" me any day! Speaking of the characters, Jewel is one of my favorites, her devotion to family and her inner strengths...more

I usually read YA contemporary novels, and I haven't been too impressed with the paranormal trend in YA lit. (I wasn't a huge fan of the TWILIGHT saga, and I'm probably the only person in the world who doesn't have any desire to read HARRY POTTER), so I wasn't sure if this book was for me. I began to read with a healthy dose of skepticism, determined simply to find a few good things to say about a book I was sure I wouldn't love.

But by the middle of the first chapter, I was hooked. I put my daughter on dinner duty and decided laundry could wait until I finished reading. This book was simply too good to put down! I've never been so happy to be so wrong!

Growing up in the witness protection program, Jewel has always lived on the fringes. Close friends are out of the question, as she never knows how soon she'll be moving again. But when she moves to Pomona Park, Florida, things start looking up. Not only does she find a true and fast friend in cute, bubbly Taylor, but she is immediately drawn to ultra-hot, super-sweet jock, Chase, who seems to really like her too. Jewel finally feels like a normal teenager.

But Jewel can't stop thinking about Roman, the super sexy bad boy, who may have all the answers she's been looking for, and the key to saving her life - if she can really trust that he isn't the enemy!
Take the magic and drama of the Twilight saga, weave in the romance of star-crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet and sprinkle on a healthy dose of "Who do you think you are?" to get a book that will keep you turning pages until the very end!

I fell in love with Chase the first time Jewel saw him outside the ice cream parlor, and I rooted for him to win her heart... but Roman was a seriously yummy distraction. What if he was really THE ONE? As Jewel struggles to discover the secrets of her family and who she really is, each boy plays a crucial role.

Forget the whole Team Edward / Team Jacob debate. Are you Team Roman or Team Chase? (less)

I love the colors on the cover of Spectral. It makes it look simply beautiful. When I started Spectral, I wasn't sure of what to expect, but what propelled me to read the book has to be the intriguing book title. Before reading, I didn't know what "Spectral" meant. I even checked the dictionary for it's definition. It actually means "like a ghost". After learning the definition, I immediately dived into the story.

Spectral tells the story of Jewel. Jewel and her family are constantly moving. They never stay in a single location for too long. When Jewel demanded an explanation for this, her parents told her they were running away from criminals. Trusting her parents, she accepts this response wordlessly. However, when she arrives at her 27th home, things change. She overhears a strange conversation between her parents and her aunt. Plus, she meets a mysterious guy who claims that she is in danger and that he is her guardian.

The main character of the book was one that I couldn't relate to for some reason. I simply disliked her mannerisms and mind-set. I wanted her to be someone strong, kick-ass, independent and smart, but I honestly couldn't find these traits in her. She let herself be easily swayed by her emotions and that bothered me a little. However, I did enjoy the protectiveness that she exhibited towards her younger brother. I found that to be really sweet and heart-warming. Overall, Jewel wasn't very easy to connect with and that sometimes annoyed me.

To be honest, I didn't feel much for any of the characters. Whether it was her parents or her love interests or her friends. One character that did manage to extract some emotion from me was her Aunt Eva. She had a disturbing personality. Aunt Eva was the kind of character that you love to hate.
None of the love-interests really had me rooting for them. Both had redeeming qualities, but they were both very different. Chase was the sweet but popular guy at True's school. One thing I liked about his character was that he was supportive of Jewel. He did some really nice things for her and I found that to be really cute. Roman, on the other hand, was mysterious and broody. He had the bad-boy thing going for him, but yet I didn't feel much for him either.
I think that the characters in this book were not to my liking.

What really bothered me in the book was the romance. There was too much of an instant love in this book and I'm not a fan of it. Mere weeks after meeting Roman, Jewel falls for him. I just found that to be odd because she knew next to nothing about the guy. There was also a love triangle in this book, which I also strongly dislike. After a misunderstanding, Jewel jumps into a short-lived relationship with Chase right after telling Roman that she was falling for him. I didn't like that because according to me, it means that you don't truly love the first guy. People who are fans of love triangles will probably like this book.

On a positive note, what glued be to this book has to be the plot. I found it to be intriguing, but highly interesting. Slowly learning about the Spectral and the truth about Jewel was truly entertaining. The story line was somewhat unique and I liked what the author did with it.
In my opinion, Shannon Duffy is a great writer. Her world-building skills are incredible because she makes sure that you're not left with many unanswered questions after reading. She ensures that everything is cleared up and I loved that about her writing. I think with more practice, she'll write some wonderful and original books, in the future and I look forward to reading more from her.

Although I might have had an issue relating to the characters, Spectral was an enjoyable read with plot twists you won't see coming. It will certainly appeal to numerous fans of the YA genre. So, if you have some free time, do give Spectral a shot!(less)

Spectral starts off with Jewel’s family moving in to other town. Jewel’s family moves a lot and she gets tired with all the new schools, new friends, and new names. She is convinced that her family is in some kind of witness protection program so she never asks much question about the whole moving thing.

In this new town, Jewel’s false name is True. She quickly makes friends with a very bubbly girl named Taylor and Chase, the guy who seems interested to her. Jewel tries not to get her hopes up, but maybe her family will stop moving and settle down in this new town. However, strange things start happening. Her encounter with Roman, a new guy who surprisingly knows her true name, makes her questioning everything her family has told her. Roman claims to be her guardian, but which one she should trust: the parents who raised her or the guy who is ready to give her answers to everything her family has kept from her?

I enjoyed Spectral despite some flaws in this book. The story keeps me engaged and the writing is very easy to follow. I can understand Jewel’s shock upon her discovery. I found myself putting the puzzles in Jewel’s mystery too. The story gets even more interesting once Jewel is in Russian. And later, Italy! I love that she’s brave enough to explore the truth about herself.

I am swooned over the love interest in this story, Roman. Roman, with his gentle, protective, and somehow sexy ways, manages to capture my heart. I think I would fall over heels if someone ever calls me his butterfly. I guess Roman is supposed to be the bad boy while Chase is the safe, good ol’ guy, but I can hardly find any bad guy aspect in Roman. Sure, he has a fair amount of mystery required for a bad boy, but other than that, I think he’s a good guy with cute grin and funny lines.

Spectral is a great book that is worth a shot, especially for those who enjoy stories about witchcraft. I’m really hoping that Shannon Duffy would make this a series because I’d love to see Jewel explores more about her new power. Plus, more Roman, please!

A multi-colored butterfly suddenly fluttered down from the ceiling landing on my fingers laced around the coffee cup. I gasped, but didn’t move. Glancing up at the ceiling, I whispered in awe, “Where did that come from?”

Roman’s lips twisted into a grin as he gazed down at it, and then back into my eyes. He raised one shoulder. “One butterfly always knows another.”(less)

Jewel craves to have a normal teenager’s life. Unfortunately, because her family is constantly moving around, she finds it difficult to be an ordinary teenager making friends at school or dating anyone.

Although Jewel has a sarcastic attitude, I find it hard not to like her. She is a patient and caring sister to her little brother Jayden. Even when she dislikes some of her relatives, she seldom makes things difficult for her parents. As her seventeenth birthday approaches, Jewel notices things in her life begin to change. People whom she expects to trust are behaving in ways that she can’t comprehend, and when she starts digging up bits and pieces about her origin, she learns that she has been misled and deceived all along. Although Jewel feels betrayed and hurt, she doesn’t completely lose herself to anger. Rather, she chooses to keep moving forward and not to give up on herself easily. While I don’t agree with every move that she makes, I can understand her sense of insecurity, doubt and self-judgment.

This is a story about witches. Personally, I find it interesting to read about the different gifts or endowments (levitation, invisibility, freezing time, etc.) that coven members have. Watching how these gifts are being put into action is actually quite fun. The fighting scenes are well-written and I have a great time visualizing the images. :)

The story itself is well-paced. Although I find the romance a little too surreal for my taste, the chemistry between Jewel and Roman doesn’t come across as forced or rushed. The ending of the story wraps up quite nicely and I’m glad to see Jewel breaks free from her ugly situation and evolves to become a much stronger person.

Overall, I enjoy reading Spectral from start to finish. I haven’t read many stories about witches, so I can’t really make any comparison, but if you’d like to read an excerpt, you can go to this link: http://spectralwitch.blogspot.ca/2012....

REVIEW:
I’m always looking for a novel with an original touch and Spectral I felt had the special something I was looking for. I loved the mystery behind the main characters, not knowing who she really was and what her family was running away from. Shannon Duffy wrote a story with lots of twist and turns that keep me turning the pages.

Jewel has only known one thing her whole life; her family is on the wrong from some very dangerous people. Supposedly they are in witness protection but her mother and father keep her and her brother Jayden on a need to know basis. In their new town Jewel gets a new identity as True, but her new town brings new faces. She makes some friends and one boy in particular named Roman, who has many secrets and also has this connection with her. But it seems no matter where her family goes danger is not too far behind.

Jewel is probably the best big sister ever, she smart, tough and determined to keep her brother safe when danger is around. I think my favorite part was how much she enjoyed Jayden’s company; they pretty much only have each other since they don’t make lasting friends. I don’t read a lot of YA where the brother sister relationship is really focused on. Jewel has a lot to deal with when she discovers what her family is been hiding from her and its MAJOR!

Roman, I’m sure I’m not the only one but Roman was so swoon worthy. He is the Romeo of Jewel’s (Juliet), forbidden romance that has a ton of chemistry. I like forbidden love for some reason the part of fighting for what you want appeals to me and these two really have that connection.
The villains let just say they will surprise you, I actually wasn’t expecting it and when you find out who they are was pretty intense. I loved the suspense and danger of who they are and what they wanted to do.

Overall, the plot was well done and as I said before original, with small parts that may have dragged on a bit. But nonetheless this was a book that will keep your attention and make you want more. I hope Duffy continues this as a series because even though the ending was satisfying I very much want more.

RECOMMENDATION:
This is a young adult novel; fans of authors Cara Lynn Shultz of Spellcaster and Rachel Hawkins of Hex Hall will love Spectral by Shannon Duffy.
