I’m find it very hard to talk abound Spellbound without spoiling everything, but let’s try.

The book starts when Emma ends up living with her aunt in New York. Her only friend with the new arrangement is her little cousin and she is soon starting at the new school. Not really easy in a teenager life. When she starts in High School things get a little complicated and, as I think you can imagine, she gets a crush on the impossible beautiful boy, Brendan, and it seems their feelings are mutual, just angering the old high schoolers there.

So, where is the magic? There’s very little magic in this book, but what is there is definetely great. The entire plot is based on a magic spell and, of course, Emma and Brendan are caught right in the middle. The plot is common, in a way, and has the question: can they be together or not? We see it in a lot of paranormal books nowadays. But, I don’t know, even with the cliches, I have to say: I loved Spellbound.

I could try to explain my love for this book talking a little about the characters: all of them have strong personalities and Shultz didn’t let the paranormal cloud the need to put some normal and everyday characters in her story. This book could be, easily, an YA about life in High School. The paranormal is a detail, or the basis, never the whole book, and that shows up on the development of her characters. They become alive as the book progress and are all true to themselves.

The narrative is forcefull and I couldn’t stop reading. The book has a realy fast pace and you read so fast that you often find yourself in awe of things you are still processing from earlier pages. It is a wonderful reading because it gets all the right reactions from you. I wouldn’t go further saying this is a phenomenal book, because it has its problems. It is a little cliche and the indecision about the possibility of the love between Emma and Brendan is a little irritating sometimes, but you can bypass it very easily and enjoy the book all the same.

Go read Spellbound, what are you waiting for?(less)

While reading Sins of the Heart, Sins of the Soul and Sins of the Flesh, we got to know three of four brother, soul reapers, Sutekh’s sons, who were brought together because the fourth one was lost, murdered by a force nobody could undercover. Well, not exactly. We finish reading Sins of the Flesh knowing exactly who was behind Lokan’s murder: their own father. This twist left us going crazy for Body of Sin, and it finally—and earlier than expected—arrived on our mailbox by NetGalley digital ARCs. We couldn’t wait another single minute and started reading right away!

Working together to bring their little brother back, Dagan, Alastor and Mal got all pieces of his soul and body, and Lokan’s got a new chance, he just needs to pass some, erm… tests. By this time you can figure out those tests aren’t going to be easy. After all, he’s trying to come back to life, to his little daughter Dana, the one he died to protect. Holding onto the thought of protecting her, he tries to go further, but it seems he’ll need some help. For Lokan’s surprise, the help comes from Bryn, Dana’s mother, a woman Lokan has known for years and someone with a dark past he doesn’t know yet.

On Body of Sin we get to know how Lokan and Bryn met. We also see a little bit of what’s going on with his brothers, how they’re working together to set their mates free, with Callie’s help. The book is full of action and doesn’t let us down after all the expectation we’ve built after the end of Sins of the Flesh. Lokan’s journey through the 12 Gates is tense and he needs to keep in mind that everything he does have a price for him to pay. On the soul reapers language, a soul is very expensive.

Body of Sin was a fast read, we just couldn’t stop. Putting the book down to work, eat or go to the bathroom was so hard! The narrative, as it is with the other three books, has a really good pace and the characters building is awesome—we loved Lokan. As Eve Silver said on the Acknoledgments, Lokan was brave, smart, dead sexy, and… dead. And, well, why not tell you this: he’s hot as hell. But if you’ve read the series, don’t you know all the Sutekh’s sons are?

It breaks our hearts to say goodbye to Dagan, Alastor, Mal and Lokan, but Body of Sin is an awesome way to wrap the series. If you loved the first three books as we did, you won’t be disappointed with Lokan’s journey, and if they want, they all can pay us a visit any time!(less)
