Book Review: Spelled by Kate St. Clair

If you think you have bad luck, you need to pick up Spelled by Kate St. Clair. The book is a lot of fun, and while it’s geared toward a young adult audience, I found myself enchanted by the words. I mean, seriously, how much bad luck can a person have? If you’re Georgia Sayers, quite a bit and then some. Even though it falls into that Teen Witch/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Percy Jackson theme of “I didn’t know I had these amazing special superpowers,” it still does so with grace and entertainment. I strongly recommend it.

Title: Spelled

Author: Kate St.Clair

Synopsis

Misfortune seems to follow the Sayers family. Georgia has tried to reestablish normality since her mother died, and she’s no closer to escaping her strange past when a mysterious fire destroys the only other high school in her tiny Texas town. Georgia is thrown into the company of Luke, a cryptic senior who brings her face to face with the truth about her heritage. Her loving, perfect mother created her family for the singular purpose of birthing five of the most powerful witches in the world, capable of terrifying magic. Now that she knows the truth, can Georgia keep her siblings safe? Who is behind the dark cult that’s after her family? And does Luke know more about her powers than even Georgia does?
