she is being bullied by the Smash Heads, struggling with math, and mourning the
death of her famous photojournalist father in Afghanistan. If she can’t
overcome her fear of picking up her camera, she will fail yearbook, and on top
of that, her best friend Parvani, who already has it all, has talked her into
buying a spellbook to cast a love spell on her crush, Jordan – secretly Evie’s
crush, too. Much to her surprise, the paperback copy of Teen Wytche that she buys at the second-hand book store mysteriously
transforms into an ancient leatherbound grimoire.

About the Author
After a childhood spent searching for a magical wardrobe that would transport her to Narnia, AriellaMoon grew up to become an author and shaman. Extreme math anxiety, and taller students who mistook her for a leaning post, marred Ariella’s teen years. Despite these horrors, she graduated summa cum laude from the University of California at Davis. While writing about magic, friendship, and love, Ariella lives a nearly normal life with her extraordinary daughter, shamelessly spoiled dog, and an enormous dragon.

Review:
The Teen Wytche Saga is a gripping series of books that
combine otherworldly magick with the everyday struggles of growing up a
teenager in America. Ariella Moon draws on her own high school experiences to
make Spell Check and Spell Struck ultimately believable even as they venture
into the realm of the extraordinary, and Moon’s own experience as a shaman is
evident in the well-researched descriptions of Wiccan rites and spell-casting.
Spell Check, with its realistic depiction of high school
life and complicated love triangle as the backdrop for Evie’s unexpected exploration
of the realm of magick, is an enjoyable if slightly predictable read that appeals
to the long-lost angst-filled teenaged Goth inside me.
The sequel, Spell Struck brings something else entirely:
Unexpected plot twists at every turn of the page grab you and hold on from start to finish.
Desperate to learn the mystery of Nico/Aidan’s past and the secrets of the Grey
Grimoire, I read Spell Struck from cover to cover in one sitting. The emotional
ups and downs tug at your heart and the gripping climax and resolution leave
you breathless.
If Spell Check is a comfortable afternoon cruise around town, Spell
Struck is mind-blowing rollercoaster ride that you don’t want to miss, and both
are well worth reading.
