I received the opportunity to read Wilted (A witching Pen novella prequel) as a FREE read on Amazon, and so glad that Author Dianna Hardy graced us with this chance. Thank you so much!!!I haven't read the first book in this series yet, (it`s on my TBR list) but I feel I have a good insight of it from reading this novella. I absolutely love this short story....Blurb: 15 year old Elena hides her magical powers from everyone, except her best friend Karl. Inseparable since they were very young, they've always shared everything together, including the darkest parts of their lives.Elena's beginning to realize that her feelings for Karl are growing into something more. But her mother's about to drop a bombshell on her-- one that will change the course of her life, and heart forever.Wilted is set 10 yrs prior to "The Witching Pen"... wow where do I begin and what can I say!! This short novella certainly had me riveted and glued to the pages as soon as I started to read it... For a short read it was most definitely jammed packed of a FULL story with so much, and a glimpse into the earlier relationships, and the monumental part of Elena's life. AwesomeElena's mother doesn't particularly care for Karl, but when I learned what the bombshell secret she tells Elena at the end of this novella concerning her future.. It had me saying "now wait a minute, is she just saying this because of her dislike of Karl?" ummmmKarl and Elena's relationship is in jeopardy, and Elena is dumbstruck, devastated and then completely embarrassed when her mother speaks of the secret. Part of this secret being that if Elena ever becomes intimate with a man, she will lose something very precious and dear to her.... *are you scratching her head too*?But this is not the only cliffhanger for me/us, it's also got me hurrying to quickly get my hands on The Witching Pen!!!!What a sweet delightful and fun MUST READ.Recommend: YA and upRating: 4.5/5 angel starsAngel Anne Reviews
