I will say one thing; this book hooked me on the first few
pages. It just draws you in, and is so well written, I was very impressed. I also love how it takes place in Seattle, so close to where I live, that it just felt more real. I love books that are written well about witches, and this is one of those.

I LOVED this book. LOVED the romance. Loved the story. The main character is on a mission looking for THE MOST powerful witch EVER! This witch just "got her powers" and could cause all sorts of problems in not only the world, but can you image what would happen if the dark witches ever got control of her great power? Add to that a hot crush, an arrogant ex-boyfriend warlock, and high school, and you've got a great book. I loved the ending and am hoping there will be a sequel.

I like the unusual, I like out-of-the-box thinking. With Wicked Sense, Fabio Bueno delivers. (Gotta love his name, right?) The characters were well fleshed out and strong. I enjoy characters who are firmly rooted and make decisions that keep the flow of the story moving at a steady pace. He has created a world that was plausible and very interesting. I loved the way he set the novel in Seattle, a city I could identify with. The bottom line – I was caught up in the author’s writing style and stor...more

I really enjoyed this book, which was surprising to me. I am usually not a fan of anything that falls within the paranormal genre. This book was definitely a paranormal book that I can enjoy. It is a cute story about two kids, Skye and Drake. Skye is a witch, sent to Seattle to track down the “Singularity”, a super witch. Drake falls for her, and together they try to save Skye’s coven from untold harm. I really appreciated the fact that the book wasn’t 100% supernatural stuff, and what was there...more

I received this an as ebook from the author for Read 4 Review.

This is a suspenseful magical story about Drake, a average geeky human teenager and Skye, a True Sight Allure gifted witch. Skye has been sent to search for the Singularity a powerful witch who has the potential to break the Veil(reveal the existence of Witches).

The story has both Drake and Skye POV and at times I found it to be confusing.

Skye, witch, and Drake, human, join forces looking for the Singularity: a witch with magical power so strong no other witch felt it before. They have to find him/her before some not-so-nice individuals, and also before the Singularity breaks the veil reveling the existence of witches to humans and starting a new era of witch-h...more

Witty, smart, and addictive! A brilliant debut novel: original voice, well-developed plot, and believable characters, with flaws that made them likable and real. The romance is sweet and innocent, although satisfying. I rooted for Drake and Sky all the way throughout the novel. But my favorite character was the antagonist - Jane, with her mean, strong personality and a goal-oriented (or rather obsessed) actions.

I can't wait for the sequel.

I loved this book. The start was enthralling, the characters well-developed and the action stayed up-beat for the whole-story. I loved how Drake was unsure about himself- the fact he thought or knew he wouldn't succeed but gave it a go anyway. Skye was awesome, if slightly frustrating at one point when she was sorting out her feelings. But, she was confident and witty, and unafraid to stand up for what she thought was right.

It is a mission that most covens have committed themselves to, but Skye is even more likely to find the Singularity since she has a Charm that allows her to sense other witches. She meets Dr...more

I give Wicked Sense by Fabio Bueno a 4.5 out of 5 stars! It had me hooked from the first page and didn't let up until I devoured the whole thing! This novel was such a refreshing take on witches and the world they live in. Let me start with the plot.

Witches live all around us in this world and keep their magic hidden, and for good reason. If word gets out that there are witches surely people will freak ( 82% chance ;) ) and cause a modern day witch hunt. After all, people fear what they do not understand. For that reason, the Witches and their covens must protect not only themselves but also the world from what is sure to be the most powerful witch ever in creation, the Singularity. The Singularity is a young girl just coming into her powers. She doesn't know yet how to use her magic and is completely unknown to all the covens, good and bad, of the world. In order to find this girl the Covens send in witches in order to get to her first. This is where Skye comes in. Skye is your average, everyday teenager, if average and everyday are code words for a witch who is in charge of finding the most powerful witch in creation and who's mother is a famous movie star. Yup, pretty normal if you ask me. Skye is stationed in Seattle in search of the Singularity. The catch? No one knows where or who she is. The only lead to follow is the impressive yet brief surge of energy in the Seattle area. It is Skye’s job to find the Singularity before it is too late. Skye’s expectations? Survive this crazy witch hunt (pun intended) and maybe in the process reconnect with her former flame. What she doesn’t expect is be caught up in a confusing mess involving Jane, a witch of the darker persuasion, her ex, Connor, a whirlwind of a best friend, Priscilla, and a super adorable guy named Drake and his sister, Mona.

Skye is from the London Coven. She has 2 special charms. The first charm is “Allure.” She has perfect skin, aesthetically recovers faster from cuts, zits, bruises, and has I guess you could call it a glow of sorts that makes her, for lack of a better word, alluring. (very jealous of this charm) The second charm is a very rare one called “True Sight.” Her true sight allows her to feel the energy of other witches stronger than her other witch counterparts. It also allows her to read auras of people around her. Her journey is an interesting one. Skye starts off almost unsure of herself and is kind of a pushover. Through this journey she changes and finds an inner strength that allows her to stand up for herself to Jane and Connor. I found this change to be kind of abrupt and a little strange in timing but overall I am glad that she found herself in the end. There is nothing worse than a weak ingénue. She winds up meeting this adorable guy, Drake (I’ll get to him soon) and has to figure out how she feels about him and what to do with those feelings. Their relationship is sweet and well thought out.

Drake is just so sweet. He is the type of guy that gets friend zoned because he is just too good, too sweet. (shakes head) If I knew him I would snatch him up so fast your head would spin. He has those lean swimmer muscles and is just an all around good looking guy. He is that perfect balance between slightly damaged and sweet. His mother left the family when he was young and his family hasn’t had the best of luck following that incident. When he meets Skye he is drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Their connection is strong and he finds himself wanting her more than anything. It was so great to see him change from that shy guy that feels insecure and confused to being a strong man willing to fight with and for Skye and his family. I absolutely love him and think he makes PERFECT book boyfriend material.

Drake’s sister Mona might just be my FAVORITE character in this whole book. She is quirky and sharp tongued and just over all a well thought out character with a lot of depth. I found myself audibly laughing out loud at her antics. I wish there was more of her in this book.

Overall I think Fabio did a fantastic job in his break out novel. The editing in this book was wonderful. There really wasn’t a moment in it that I thought to myself “Well this really didn’t have to be in here to move to the story along.” Everything had its place and that I think is a fantastic accomplishment in itself, especially for an author’s first novel. I can’t wait to see where this story will go and I look forward to the sequel.

Wicked Sense is the first book in the Singularity series by author Fabio Bueno. I received copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

The Singularity is a witch a multitude more powerful than any other witch. She could either be the dawn of a new era of great witches or so powerful that she breaks the Veil between witches and humans, and people would be unable to reconcile reality and magic, thus starting the next outbreak of Witch Hunts.

This is the first YA Paranormal Romance that I have read that was written by a male. Really, it is about the book, not the author, right? But, I couldn't help but take to it like a science experiment. I have read so many books where a female author has gone into the mind of a teenage boy, but how would a male stack up in the mind of a teenage girl? I have to say that he did a fabulous job and I was quickly caught up in the story, forgetting about my little experiment. However, I did crack up several times at some of the scenes that clearly came from the mind of a male.

Like any romance minded book, you have the initial confrontation between the two main characters. From this comes one of my favorite scenes and lines from the book, as it reminds me of my husband trying to get my attention while I am reading.

From Drake’s POV trying to get Skye’s attention.

Apparently, the book is still very interesting. Great, I’m losing to dead trees.

At last, she raises her eyes, still hidden by those weird lenses, and says, “I’m sorry. I’m sure you’re nice and all that, but I need to finish this.”

I felt like I was watching a movie most of the time. Bueno is so great at painting the scenes making you feel like you are in the room feeling and seeing right with the characters. The characters are likeable (well, the ones you are supposed to like) and believable. I have only read a few witch related books, but this book seems well researched and in line from what I have read in the past. And the cover, wow, beautiful, right?

A great addition to the book would be a frequently used terms section in the beginning of the book that defines some of the terms specifically coined for the series. I kept wanting to understand what exactly the "Singularity" was and why it was significant. Though by the end of the book you have your answer, I don't think it would take away from the story telling to give the reader a little bit of an idea what they are reading about.

Overall it was a fun read and I am looking forward to the next installment. If you are looking for a new YA PNR series to dive into, jump on in!

Although, I can’t give this book five stars, I definitely am looking forward to the sequel…or however many books there will be in this series. For despite this book’s faults, it is a damn entertaining story.

Characters: I really liked Drake, but for some reason I think that he wasn’t a very convincing male character. He screamed metro sexual to me and even his sister jabbed at his “homosexual” tendencies. Sure, I’m stereotyping but the way he spoke and the sheer amount of speech that he uttered felt feminine. I wish he was either straight up gay or a lesbian lover to Skye – rather than guy for the sake of Skye not being gay or not gay for the sake of being romantically involved with Skye. But besides that issue, I loved Drake. His sarcasm and corny one-liners made me laugh.

I liked how Skye wasn’t a meek, innocent girl. She acted older than her age – as in, she wasn’t selfish and she cared more about her family (mom) and her quest to discover the Singularity more than the teenage drama in her life. What I didn’t like about Skye is how she didn’t come off as British enough to me. I think that the author could have wrote her narrative using British English and made a much more powerful impact with her heritage. Instead we’re left with a couple of remarks about an accent and some slang words.

As far as the minor characters go, I think Boulder wavered in his character’s personality towards the end. Maybe he was making fun of Drake by mimicking Drake with overly sarcastic remarks, but it really felt out-of-place. The rest of the cast was great. Although Priscilla got around, she was as far of a contrast as the high school slut cliché as possible and I really liked her scenes with Skye. Mona doesn’t share much on-screen time but I like how much I could guess about her personality and lifestyle just from her brief interactions with her brother, Drake. Jane is instantly shifted into the villain role along with Connor but even these bad guys have a scene or two where they show a softer side.

Plot: Fast pace. There was always SOMETHING going on in the story. Every time I though that the pace might slow down and Drake/Skye might get a little romantic action – bang, someone gets hit by a tree. No, seriously. Drake gets hit by a tree. And that’s merely the first unfortunate event to befall these lovebirds. Personally, I might have to call it quits if every time I hang out with a “special someone”, we end up at the ER. Not these two. And I like how the magic is essential to the story, rather than slipped in for the sake of having something paranormal.

Ending: Yes, I guessed who the Singularity was very early in the book. But that’s okay because I liked how she/he was finally revealed at the end and the plot kept me entertained in between. Most of the plot-lines were neatly tied up at the end, but there’s a few hints about what’s to come. I imagine we will finally get to meet a certain missing family member.

In the midst of difficult circumstances such as attempts against Skye’s life, old flames, betrayals and misunderstanding, Drake and Skye come together and find love and through their relationship with each other and those of their good friends, they soon evolve as a couple; becoming happier and more confident young adults.

I was drawn into this story from page 1, the writing was clear, well written and flowed; I found the characters likable and engaging; This was also a fresh take on YA paranormal, and I enjoyed becoming immersed in the world the author created. Drake stood out to me because although, he was all guy; Drake also showed a sensitivity and caring towards Skye that had me smiling; the fact that he was a hot guy did not realize it; He really cared for Skye, showed loyalty and devotion, it was simply the perfect package; I enjoyed watching Skye go from being a little nervous and uptight, into a strong, confident young woman, I laughed out loud at the antics of Skye and Priscilla’s “girls night out”. The secondary characters were very well fleshed out, and as entertaining as the main characters; Sean was funny, Boulder was one of my favorites, I loved seeing this tough, egotistical (on the surface) guy; when under the truth potion admit that his best friend was “hot”… that was funny to me. I also loved Priscilla, because all though she had been shown no respect, being called Predator; she only gave respect, and had confidence in who she was regardless of what others thought of her.

I enjoyed this book, there were very funny moment…, action(I was surprised at some of the events that happened) ,and I enjoyed the evolution of new-found love between Drake and Skye; I look forward to this series, I would like to see Drake, Skye, Sean, Boulder and Priscilla again; I want to know if Priscilla and Boulder will become an item:)

Great, fun, look forward to more works from Author Fabio Bueno!

I think it was partially because of the abundant chapters in the book, as I was often able to put it aside. Also the point of view changed with each chapter, so you got into Skye's viewpoint and due to chapter length it quickly changed to Drake's and vice versa. I did enjoy the story but I believe it was targeted to a younger audience than myself; very much Teen/Young Adult.

The story is about a witch, named Skye, that has been relocated to Seattle from London by the "Mothers" - the governing body for witches. Skye is reluctant to go as she is leaving her mother who is the only direct family she has and is headed to the area where her ex boyfriend now lives. Of course this relationship did not end amicably. Though she is reluctant to leave, she makes friends with Priscilla and with her new boyfriend, Drake. The reason the Mothers sent Skye is to find the Singularity, this is a witch with great and unknown powers including the ability to hide from other witches. Skye is charged with looking at the Greenwood High School sector as she has the ability of True Sight and can sense other witches from a greater distance than others, even if they try to shield it. Though this causes drama with a witch, Jane, who is already at the High School, and wants Skye gone.

The main characters were likable as were the secondary characters. Skye and Drake are a lovely couple trying to overcome the obstacles they are challenged with. With Drake this is dealing with Skye being a witch and for Skye it is coming clean about being a witch and finding the Singularity with all that entails. The secondary characters including Skye's new friend Priscilla and Drake's friends Sean and Boulder; they add humour and a likeness to the story which was enjoyable to experience. On the other hand Jane, the antagonist, did a good job with making you dislike her, for example trying to get rid of Skye, in more ways than one. There is also Brianna, an ex make-out partner of Drake's who helps Jane along the way.

Overall it was a nice story and I would recommend the book to a Teen Audience.(less)

Brief Opening:
Bueno's, Wicked Sense was gifted to me by the author for an honest review. I would like to thank him for this opportunity. Now down to how I feel about this book. Well in simple terms, It was Incredible! Mostly.

What I liked:
The realistic magic. The whole science about magic. I loved how Bueno made witches, believable. It wasn't just about supernatural it was about science and energy and it was incredible. I really loved that aspect of this book. I also loved the character's and dialouge. I found myself laughing out loud, which is always a great aspect of a book. Skye and Drake's relationship also was another realistic feeling in this book. It wasn't insta love(hell they haven't even said "i love you" yet), it was instant attraction which is real and it was a nice change on a paranormal romance book. Skye's also the supernatural one and Drake's just human, well with very close connections ;). That was a different twist on my normal paranormal romance reads too. This book was different in many ways and very enjoyable. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequeal!

What I didn't like:
This book was not without flaws. The writing did have a few errors at times that were noticable and found myself fixing them but they weren't to big of a deal. The chapter's and story aswell felt short to me too. It was a really great story with awsome character's but lack length. Maybe more desripction and longer scenes. I just felt it ended to soon. Thank goodness it's a series or I'd be bummed, lol. Those were the only flaws for me though.

Overall thought's:
This was one of the best wiccan based books I have ever read! It's one of those books you'd just love to own to have it available. I am really glad for the opportunity to enjoy this and I defiantly recommend it. It was a quick incredibly realistic paranormal romance that I fell in love with from the instant I started it.(less)

Recommended to Nikki (The Bibliomaniac) by: Innovative Online Book Tours

The book starts out good from the beginning. All the characters are believable and someone that you could have gone to school with. Skye starts out a bit weak but slowly empowers herself with Drake and Priscilla's help. She is sent to a high school in Seattle to find a very powerful witch, the Singularity, that has been born in her generation. She has the rare power of true sight, which should help her find the individual, where others have failed so far. She is able to overcome her attachment t...more

Mmmm... I don't know how I feel about this book. It started out not so good. I didn't like much the characters, I couldn't get emotions out of them most of the time, and the story bored me a little sometimes, for the lack of dialog and connection with the characters. At least for about the first half of the book. Skye and Drake got on my nerves sometimes, and they were even a little cold, emotionless. I wasn't impressed with their kind of relationship. They didn't touch me emotionally when toget...more

The beautiful cover and the blurb hooked me from the start.

Wicked Sense's cast is as vivid as the characters in a good TV show. I was delighted with Skye’s and Drake’s friendships and relationships with their families. Since I’m a female, it was especially fascinating to get a peek of the male dynamics.

The villain of the story, Jane, intimidates everyone with her biker attitude. We see only a tiny glimpse of her human side but she works great as a menace.

No punches are pulled for the characters...more

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review*

The story is told from two points of view, the protagonists, Skye and Drake. This can be a bit confusing but for me it added to the story because it told both sides making this a story about both of them and introduced supporting characters that will be involved with the ending.

Skye is a young witch gifted with true sight that allows her to feel the energy of another witch. She has been sent to Seattle to find a witch of immense power, the s...more

Oh. My. Gosh. I can't say enough how much I LOVED this book!!!!! I do have to say that there were a couple of spots with spelling errors, but it didn't make any difference at all in the reading of the book, they were so few & far-between. I so cannot wait for the next book in this series to come out
(at least I'm really hoping there will be another book!!)!! :) The story drew me in from the very first page and I could not put it down! The story and the characters were so well-done .... I can'...more

Quotes from Wicked Sense

“She eyes me. 'What is this all about?'
It's my turn to shrug, upsetting the rocks on my back. 'I don't know. Girl talk. I mean, you can have any guy you want, so why don't you just pick one?'
Priscilla doesn't answer at first. I'm glad I chose this moment: she's actually pinned down and cannot run away. Finally, she says, 'If I can have any guy I want, I'd like to have every guy I want.'
'What do you mean?
She gives me an exasperated look. 'I'm only seventeen, Skye. I'm not looking to settle down just yet.' She probably misunderstands my shocked expression, because she adds, 'I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, but it's just not me, you know?” — 1 person liked it
