Savvy is a student at NYU, majoring in mythology. She and her friend Hadley, also studying mythology, have long-running debates about vampire romances."Everything happened in slow motion, my first thought was Hadley was dead for making me wear these shoes, and the second was that I was certain I was about to ruin our night out. Someone caught me around the waist and turned me around at the same time. It looked like he had just dipped me, like we were doing the Tango. People started clapping for us and a giggle escaped my lips."I looked up to see the person who saved me from one of the most embarrassing moments of my life and when we made eye contact it felt like I knew him. His green eyes seemed to have flecks of purple in them and his lips were wet and full. His face was chiseled; he had a sharp straight nose. An unexpected rapid fire built in my stomach and spread through my body. A blush accompanied the fire and spread across my chest and face. I stayed in his arms staring, telling myself I was in shock, until he stood me on my feet."Savvy sees Stephen, her rescuer and hero, again in her history class. Stephen is the guest speaker on the Salem Witch Trials. His great-great grandmother was an accused witch.Ruby Knight's The Bishop Witches, the first book in the Bound by the Craft series, is a wonderful new adult story. Ms. Knight puts the reader in Savvy's head, and chronicles Savvy's adventures with her fun and exciting writing style.
