Review: Spellbound - raw, emotional, touching, thought provoking

Mesmerizing. Like others once started I could not put this down. Exceptionally effective way to tell the story because the flashbacks are enough so you understand and can see but not enough to overwhelm. Well balanced prose - thought the idea was clever (err or cleverly twisted) and the why of the bad guy probably accurate but not at all satisfying. Although a GFY feeling it kind of really isn't - which surprised me. The calm acceptance by Austin is the only thing that felt a bit out of place but then overlaid on what they'd been through I'm not sure any of us can make a judgment about how we'd be acting. Enough to make you squirm with the horror parts - redeemed completely by the love. Highly recommended!
