I may have a girl crush on Savannah! This is the second book with her as the narrator, and I just love her! I love her personality, her spunk. She starts to do some growing up in this book. First of all, picking up right where Waking the Witch left off, she doesn't have any powers. And this is not the best time to be left without them as she is still dealing with a witch hunter.

I may have a girl crush on Savannah! This is the second book with her as the narrator, and I just love her! I love her personality, her spunk. She starts to do some growing up in this book. First of all, picking up right where Waking the Witch left off, she doesn't have any powers. And this is not the best time to be left without them as she is still dealing with a witch hunter.

But that is not the only threat her and Adam are facing in this book. Some of the previous storylines come back into play (immortality seekers, witch hunters, prophecies), some characters from previous books come back! Almost every character in the series makes an appearance! I don't want to give too much away, but lets just say that while Savannah is struggling to figure out how to regain her powers, she might get kidnapped, again, save a certain vampire, get drunk with a HOT demon on more than one occasion, and struggle with some major things with certain members of her family.

I definitely think this book was perfect to tie in lose ends and set up the last book. Yes, Kelley Armstrong has only been contracted to write 13 books, so the next one will be the last as far as we know. *pouts and makes a sad face* But I can tell it'll be amazing!

Savannah and Adam? Yes he will be her HEA, but there isn't a whole lot happening between them in this one. We do get one hot and emotional kiss, and a moment that I thought would be promising when they are both drunk and she falls asleep in his lap. Adam is adorable! He cares for Savannah so much, he really shows her he would put her above anything, protect her, take care of her and I can't wait to see them as a couple.

Savannah also realizes that she may not treat him with the respect that he deserves. So she has to change her ways.

Some of my favorite lines in this book though, came from Cassandra! Who would've thought? I loved her character in this book. I think is so cute that she's dating Aaron again to start with, and that has made her be a little bit more friendly. One of my favorite moments was when she texted Savannah if they really needed to talk to Eloise because she was soooo "O.M.G. I'm so excited to meet a vampire! fangirl".

So the final book I think will revolve around a "prophecy" that involves Savannah, Elena's twins, Rhy's grandchild, Jaz. This group we meet in this book thinks that it's time for supernaturals to rule the world. To come out in the open and have humans submit to them. I am really excited to see what happens with this as it seems it will be the final battle. ...more

Finally, an instalment of the Women of the Otherworld books I enjoyed like old times!

Savannah has lost her magic, and with that her courage and confidence. And now is terrible timing - with witch hunters chasing her to kill her, and other stirrings in the supernatural community.

The problems I've been having with the latest Women of the Otherworld books were still prevalent in Spell Bound, but less so. Savannah is a bit whiny in the book, especially in the beginning, but Adam soon gives her the k ...more

I really loved how Savannah is growing into her own skin. Am very happy she is not the spoiled person she was in earlier books that made her my least favorite character. I am glad I waited to read this one rather than last summer when it came out since a year goes by before the next one releases. The ending technically (I guess) isn't a cliffhanger, but there were too many threads left unresolved. Thirteen will be bittersweet since this is the last book. I've enjoyed this series since Bitten. ...more

This book brings back just about every character from the previous 11, which is great. Elena and Clay are my favorite, so I'm always happy to see them. Savannah seems to take a step back in maturity for most of this book after spending the last one convincing us she isn't a kid anymore. Of course losing her powers seemed to be the main reason and probably a lesson she needed.

They find out there is a group that want to expose supernaturals to the humans and is also claiming they can provide immo ...more

The one thing Savannah has always depended on is her tremendous power. Now that it's gone, she's learning how valuable all the ignored lessons from Paige & Lucas actually are. Trying to find out what happened to her powers and trying to find the witch hunter before being killed are complicated enough. Throw in a group of supernaturals looking to achieve immortality and you get quite an interesting mix of characters.

I really enjoyed this book. It was part of a bigger story arc and ended with thre ...more
