Review: Bewitching, heart pounding, unlike most "Witch" type books
Rating: 5 out of 5

I got this book on a whim and I am HOOKED.The story revolves around a teenage Witch named Alyssa and her family and friends. She is living a mostly normal life, going to a Public High School but her friends are unlike most. They are all Witches and do things... well a little differently.Trying not be to a spoiler here.The book starts with Alyssa explaining who she is and how her family and friends live their lives. Remaining cloaked to the mundanes at High School (mundanes being Non-Witch) to protect themselves. Not so much that they are completely invisible, but that they don't stand out.... until a boy name Marc can see her and they don't know why. He becomes a major character and is in some ways (in my opinion) one of "heroes" of this book.All of the the characters are VERY well thought out. Karli writes with descriptiveness that captures your imagination right away. From Alyssa's house to the Drag Strip and everything in between. While reading you will be able to see each place and character in your head, not to mention the smells.The story continues through High School to when they all start the Arcane (an exclusive "university" for Witches). But don't be fooled, this is NOTHING like the Harry Potter books. It is more mature and for Mature Readers.The spells she writes flow from the tongue and I think would probably even work because they sound/read so fluidly.I am HOOKED on this series and already have Raven Bound, Demon Bound and Shadow Bound on my wishlist! This book was heart pounding, seductive, believable, and additive. I HIGHLY recommend this book if you enjoy Paranormal thrillers (with an erotic flavor)!
