Witchin' ain't easy.

Jules has a rebellious streak, a massive crush on Connor, and the abilities of a Revealer witch. By day, she and her coven friends seem like typical high school seniors. By night, they have the power to make werewolves, vampires, and ghosts reveal themselves, so they can destroy them. It's not exactly cheerleading, but at least the girls know they're do...more

While Jules complains about the superficial rules of her coven -- always fly home, wear cloaks not coats -- it's never occurred to her to question the larger issues.

How could vampires and werewolves be anything but bad? And how could the coven's mission to reveal and destroy such monsters be wrong?

But as Jules's eighteenth birthday approaches, she sees the other girls in the coven turn angry and frightened as they're fully initiated. How much is there...more

But at the age of eighteen, each girl is initiated into the coven’s inner circle. But this ceremony isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be, at least, it seems this ways to Jules after having watched three of her friends come out changed—and not for the better. It turns out that there’s a big secret the mothers of these young witches have kept from their daughters, a secret that could tear the world as they know it apart. It’s something that if they don’t follow to the tiniest detail, one of them could be lost—forever.

Revealers is a fast-paced and interesting story about supernatural beings such as witches, werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and demons. The story started off strong, because I was intrigued by the coven’s duty to destroy all the dangerous supernatural creatures—basically everything that isn’t human except for themselves. I found myself becoming skeptical about the origins of the coven’s strange traditions, as Jules did during the story, but I did not like the lack of details when the big secret was revealed. The secret itself was not the issue, but the fact that people could actually agree to its conditions blew my mind. Also, the solution to this problem was a bit unrealistic as the secret was; it came way too easily. I would think that after such a horrific secret, fixing it would be a little harder than it was in this story. Despite the slightly disappointing ending, Revealers was an quick and enjoyable story with action, magic, and a touch of romance.

Revealers was good, but I definitely would not consider it anywhere near great. I recommend this for fans of the supernatural, especially teen girls who like books about magic.

For the youngest generation of the coven—Sascha, Margo, Zahara, Dani, and Jules—this is their life, and though they wish for a little more freedom, they recognize their responsibility.

They are all eager for their eighteenth birthdays, when they will be initiated into the inner circle of their coven along with their mothers and learn all of the coven's secrets. But as their birthdays start to pass by, Jules—the youngest of the witches—begins to realize that there is more going on in the coven than what their mothers are letting on, and her friends can't talk about—something that she's finding that she can't condone.

The overall impression that Revealers gives to the readers is rushed. While the plot is one that is unique and attention grabbing, many elements of the story, such as Jules' romantic interest, her training and background, and the twist towards the end of the novel fall short of expectations and instead the story races ahead to the next scene without taking sufficient time to cover each new event.

However, the dynamics between the girls are realistic: they're not the best of friends, they oftentimes frustrate each other, but they have a strong bond and know they're lives depend on them working together. The typical drama and angst when it comes to crushes is also present, and grounds the story to reality. And each girl's coping mechanism to the news their mothers have kept secret is also authentic—anger, aloofness, alcohol, denial, and determination.

The result? Revealers is an intriguing tale with realistic characters and emotions, full of relatable teenage tendencies, and fun bits of supernatural and magic, but the execution is weak and rushed, with gaping holes that could have been filled in easily to make the novel seem more like a complete story. Marrone should be willing to elaborate more and write a more extensive book, or keep her next book simple.

I finished the story over the course of two or three days, drawn into the world of Jules, a highschool senior and Revealer witch: one of several teenage girls with the power to force werewolves, vampires, etc. into revealing their true natures so the Revealers can kill the unpleasant undead.

I haven't read many paranormal YA books about witches, so I liked learning more about Marrone's particular brand of magic. The folklore behind witch balls was an especially nice touch. Magic takes a backseat, though, to the banter between Jules and her friends--Marrone does a good job of pulling off dialogue between teenage girls, steering clear of the cliche-and-slang-filled speech created by lesser YA authors. I did, however, find the snarkiness-to-politeness ratio a little high, particularly since Jules's sarcasm doesn't seem drastically different from the legions of snarky paranormal heroines out there. But I've been guilty of snark before, too, and I liked Jules, anyway.

I especially liked how Jules actively pursues her crush, Conner, and has no hang-ups about her sexuality. This isn't a finger-wagging dangers-of-teen-sex kind of book, or one that promotes promiscuous girls jumping into any hot guy's bed, but instead shows how a young woman can smartly explore sex in a way that doesn't have horrible consequences. That always gets a thumbs up from me when I see it in YA.

Anyway, despite my rambling in this review, REVEALERS is not a romance novel, and moves along at a fairly brisk pace with increasing suspense and danger to the witches. Not to spoil too much, I did find the parts with demons and spells a little cheesy, and found the fate of one of the characters dealt with in a somewhat unbelievably casual way. So I wouldn't say I rank plot as one of this story's strengths, but I definitely read it for the fun characters and snappy dialogue. Be sure to check this out if you're an aficionado of YA paranormal fiction, but also give it a try if you're new to the genre. (less)

I had no intentions of reading Revealers after I had read Uninvited by the same author. Luckily for me I ended up needing another book, and Uninvited had a little preview of Revealers. After reading maybe about five pages I was hooked. If I hadn't already purchased Revealers I would have made a pit stop at the book store just for it.

Even with the great start I was afraid this book would somehow take a turn and I would end up with another Uninvited. More teen drama then urban fantasy. I shouldn't have to worried. The take on witches in this book is sooo good. The girls are thirteen when they start going out into the night slaying the “evils” of the supernatural community. The reader pops in just as the girls are turning 18 and will be “joining” the coven. These girls are expected then to have daughters of there own that will then take there place in the fight. The task the girls are given and still expected to do is put into light through Jules eyes as she tries to live with the fact that she kills things.

Marrone moves this story along nicely. Giving us a little teen drama with a heavy dose of evil plot. The side characters were all fun and I loved reading about them, probably even more then the main character. Of course that's not saying Jules wasn't a wonderful character to follow. Jules was a healthy enough dose of curiosity and defiance, without being annoying. Dani, Jules best friend, was a fun nerdy character and her love troubles had me giggling. Revealers also had a wonderful dose of humor that went great with all of the characters.

Another thing I loved was how Marrone could make me hate the mothers for betraying their daughters. Then the next thing I know I'm feeling sympathy for the wicked mothers and can understand why they made the choices they had to make. By the end of the book I was even cheering the mothers on.

Bottom Line:
This novel is not perfect. Yes, you can guess some of the plot twisters and who dun'it parts. It is, however, worth the read. The plot moves fast and includes one the the best mysteries I've read in a YA novel in a while. I look forward to reading other books by this author even after the terrible taste of Uninvited.

Sexual Content:
Kiss scenes, the make out scenes are not too in depth.

Rating: 5/5- Fabulous, a beautiful obsession.(less)

Despair should leap off the page to me, or surround me like a shroud. Sorrow should have me feeling like I can't go on... Either way, I should LIVE IT with them.

She NOT once managed that. For example, when Dani was taken, I wasn't afraid for her, I felt nothing. The next day Jules looks up at the moon and remarks to herself almost casually, that it is almost a full moon and she wonders if Dani could see it wherever she is!!! really!! The girl (your bestfriend!) has been missing for 24 hours and that is all you can say!!, she might as well have been saying she should go in for a manicure on Monday or overdue to have her teeth cleaned for all the worry it portrayed.

I was really disappointed with this book. To me this book was a good first draft. Not even the one the author writes down, it is the one she would have had in her mind. Just the basic story line. How this made it to print is beyond me. None of the ideas are fleshed out. She touches on a bit of everything, but never bothered to delve into it to bring out that passion lying just beneath the surface.

Examples? These witches have no skill whatsoever, yet they are constantly talking about kicking ass! They can't fight and all they have is the binder spell. God forbid one of the things they bound managed to escape, there was nothing they could do. They didn't really even know witchcraft. It was like dolly house witchcraft. They had basic single words they said. "Reveal, Bind, Open, Out!"...REALLY??
They didn't study their craft, and they never got better at what they did.

In the end when they were going to confront their mothers at the meeting room, they KNEW the confrontation was inevitable and yet they were unprepared. It was as if the author realised she was fast approaching the quota of pages she was allowed and tried to wrap things up. She (Marrone) didn't let them go research how to confront a witch, who it stands to reason should have been more powerful than they, if only because of her age or affliation with demons. They head in there with a hope and a dream that "REMOVE" was going to be the magic word to take her powers in case she got out of control! REALLY? Then when that fails..DUH! the mothers SUGGESTS, "try, STEAL!"....So apparantly THEY too have no skill and just go about guessing command words to do their bidding.

Don't even get me started with the relationship, if one can call it that, between Jules and Connor. One make out session and they are boyfriend and girlfriend? HOW? WHEN? all of a sudden it is my boyfriend this and my boyfriend that? At no time did the author even HINT at an affinity to Michael, if anything I thought she (MARONNE) would have developed something with Finn and Jules. Jules only thought of Michael was that he stunk. Then he gave them a ride after a kill...all that was time Marrone could have played up little attraction, He came over to warn her and show he was on her side, she HUGGED him and still NOTHING! Yet in the epilogue she is with Michael!

Nothing fleshed out, no passion, no true conflict, no sub plots, not even real friction between the main characters.

This book was the epitome of vanilla, and not even good vanilla where you can see they used real vanilla beans, and could see the brown flecks dispersed all though the icecream. This was the vanilla you get at the gas station, where it has the smell of vanilla ( probably an imitation extract), and the taste vanishes on the tip of the tongue.

Jules started to date Conner. Both were best friends as kids. Helena berated Conner but he kept on seeing Jules anyway. After Margo, Zahara, Sasha, and Dani they learned that they have sold their soul to demon at birth. There is a contract between the Demon and witches for 300 hundred years. The demons gives the witch the revealer spell at birth and when the girls grow up and have their own kids, the demons will past it on again by exchanging blood. Dani being freaked out by all this information wanted to tell Jules but her mother put a spell on her to keep her from telling Jules.

Now Jules is freaked out by the covenant ceremony. So the girls mothers tried to scare Jule and Dani to show them the dangers if they do not do what they are told. The plan when wrong, when one the the vampire mistakenly turn Dani into a vampire. Jules and Conner's relationship dwindle.

After Dani return from being undead, the five girls decided that it was time to confront their mothers. Upon approaching the meetinghouse, the girls heard Helena summoning a demon because the other mothers felt that she went too far(vampire turning Dani).

The girls enter the scene and tried to capture Helena's power in a glass ball. After doing so, a naked purple demon enter from the portal. The witches negotiated with the demon that they want to their soul back in exchange that the witches search for demon artifacts and Helena's power. The demon also took Helena and Conner since both were trying to sell demon artifact.

In the end,Jules, Dani, Finn, Sasha, and Michael are driving in a car to find demon artifacts. Jules ended up with Micheal. Dani ended up with Finn-who turns out to be a werewolf- a perfect match vampire/witch and a werewolf. Sascha was also in the car and Margo and Zharia started college.(less)

Wasn't as good as I thought it would be. A witch's coven that makes deals with demons. Add in all the other supernatural beings, such as fairies, werewolves, vampires and shapeshifters and you've got a novel not so original. I wish there was more to the story. The relationships were very rushed and so was the ending. It was all fine and dandy after like three paragraphs. Eh it was a fast read, not one of my favorites, but it wasn't too horrible. I did like the whole ghosts being trapped in a gla...more

Witches are just hocus-pocus, bippity-boppity-boo… right? Wrong. For Jules and her friends Dani, Zahara, Margo, and Sascha, being a witch is a full-time job. They’re part of a coven of Revealer witches that hunt and kill the evil creatures that lurk in the shadows of the night. The clean up crew consists of the only two male coven members, Michael and Connor. When the girls turn eighteen, they are initiated into the inner-circle of the coven, and all the secrets are revealed to them. But will th...more

About Amanda Marrone

Amanda Marrone grew up on Long Island where she spent her time reading, drawing, watching insects, and suffering from an over-active imagination.

On more than one occasi...more Amanda Marrone grew up on Long Island where she spent her time reading, drawing, watching insects, and suffering from an over-active imagination. It didn’t help that her father told bloodcurdling stories, and would take Amanda and her siblings for moon lit walks in the graveyard—the highlight of which involved having them march up to mausoleums and knock on the doors—alone. On more than one occasion, Amanda turned around to find they’d ditched her for laughs. (No, she didn’t find that particularly funny.)
Not surprisingly, she was extremely scared of the dark—living in fear of cats meowing at the door at night (she was sure they were really monsters pretending to be her cats), and things lurking in basements, attics, dark rooms, and closets.

Amanda successfully avoided monster attacks by leaving all the lights on in her house, and convincing other family members to let the cats in—eventually earning a B.A. in Education at SUNY Cortland. She taught fifth and sixth grade in New Hampshire, where she was known for putting on mini-musicals, and dissecting eyeballs and owl pellets with her students.

After taking a very early retirement to raise a family and write novels—some of which have vampires and other creepy creatures, Amanda now lives in Connecticut with her husband, Joe, two kids, two cats, a crayfish, hissing cockroaches, and their newest addition is Griffin, a havanese dog who can say "Hello" and "I love you". Check the links page to see Griffin’s YouTube videos where you can see him in action.

Amanda loves reading, going to Broadway shows, creepy crawly things, hiking, annoying her husband with show tunes, and is thinking about getting another tattoo. She is still scared of the dark.

Amanda’s first two books for teens, Uninvited and Revealers are available now, and her next book Devoured will be out in September of 2009. Her middle grade series The Magic Repair Shop Chronicles: The Multiplying Menace, Kobold Blues and The Shape Shifter’s Curse will be available starting in the summer of 2010.

“Hey, what are we going to get Margo for her birthday?" I ask.
