Enchantment by Charlotte Abel Review

enchantment

While other girls are wearing push-up bras, Channie Belks is trying to hide the fact she’s a witch.

Sorta hard to do after her parents slap a chastity curse on her for flirting with “dirty-minded, non-magical, city-boys.” She can’t even walk by a hot guy without zapping him.

There’s a way to break the curse; but one mistake could kill her. It’s not worth the risk … until she meets Josh.

Suddenly, the threat of death isn’t such a deal-breaker.

 

This book made me laugh and cry and I became addicted with the love between Channie and Joshua. The love and bonding of their hearts is indescribable. The twists at every corner and the love and intensity in this book was so well written.

I am eagerly waiting the sequel as I was very upset when this book ended.

Once I picked it up, I was not able to put it down. I think that anyone who loves fantasy novels, would enjoy Enchantment!

Invisible by Jeanne Bannon Review

INVISIBLE_COVER (sm)

Book Description

Lola’s not pretty. Lola’s not popular. Lola wishes she could disappear … and then one day she does just that…

For seventeen-year-old Lola Savullo, life is a struggle. Born to funky parents who are more in than she could ever be, Lola’s dream of becoming a writer makes her an outsider even in her own home. Bullied and despised, Lola still has the support of her best pal Charlie and Grandma Rose.

Not only is she freakishly tall, Lola’s a big girl and when forced to wear a bathing suit at her summer job as a camp counselor, Lola’s only escape from deep embarrassment seems to be to literally vanish. Soon after, she discovers the roots of her new “ability”.

Slowly, with Charlie’s help, Lola learns to control the new super power. The possibilities are endless. Yet power can be abused, too…

Then, when tragedy strikes, Lola must summon her inner strength, both at home and at school. She has to stand up for herself, despite the temptations and possibilities of her newfound super power.

A coming-of-age story that will warm the heart.

My Opinion

Invisible is a masterful book that really captures what it’s like to be on the bullied side of high school life. It also shows what some people feel when they try for revenge. Sure, Lola (the main character) got her revenge, but she said it wasn’t as sweet as what people normally say for it to be. She said it was a horrible feeling that she never wanted to feel again.

I think Jeanne Bannon did a wonderful job with a quiet teenager that was always down on herself because of what people said about her. She really got a great message across. Bullies are never as cool as they want people to think, and that you can choose to believe what people think about you or not. I do, however, rate this book PG13 because of mild cussing. I also give this book 5+ stars.

This book was amazing and I really hope everyone else loves it as much as I do :)

Dear Sassy Girlz,
What if you have a friend who you don’t know if she dislikes you or dislikes the people your with? What if she thinks your strange but you want to be kind and loving to her? What do you do?

Dear Hard Rockin’ Lover,

Just be yourself. Don’t worry about what other people think of you and just do what you do best and be you.
