It's no secret that I absolutely LOVED the first book in this series, and I could not wait to get my hands on Spelled. I just couldn't wait to find out what the end of Casted meant for some of the most amazing characters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.Spelled was a thrilling continuation of Casted. Loveday once again drew me in to the twisted web of lies and manipulation that the Triad, or more accurately, Lorenzo is so famous for. He definitely took things up a notch and his sinister ways just got darker and darker. My heart went out to Jade and Edge. They'd been through so much in the first book and Lorenzo swooped in a took it all away from them. I had hope, though, that they'd find their way back to each other.I was happy that Jade had Elliot as her confidant. He was brilliant. His personality really came alive in this book. Together, he and Jade were a riot. Their banter and bickering made for many a fun moment, and Oh. My. Gosh. when they sought refuge at the cabin in the woods...Hilarious! I was crying with laughter. I probably wouldn't have found it so funny if I were in Jade's shoes, but it was a thoroughly entertaining scene that lifted the seriousness of everything else that was going on. The Skunk/Spider moment is a part of this book that will always be remembered. Even now as I write this, I can't help but smiling thinking of the antics that went on.Loveday has worked her magic once again to create a story filled with plenty of emotion. This book was a rollercoaster of ups and downs, twists and turns. There was never a dull moment. I'm a huge fan of this series and its wonderful characters; and I am an even bigger fan of Sonya Loveday. A real gem of an author whose writing will keep you captive from start to finish.
