My review:Dead Spell is the second book in The Elise Michaels Series and when I got invited to the blog tour I also read the first book, Coven.This was my first introduction to the author K.A. Young and I truly liked the world which K.A. young has created. There are weres, there are vamps, there are witches and even zombies in Dead Spell, just everything what a good fantasy book needs. Dead Spell was easy and not very time-consuming to read, because it's only 90 pages long. it's packed with action and I enjoyed the pacing of the book.Plot:Dead Spell picks up where the prequel, Coven, ended.Elise is still getting used to her wolf side and besides this there are other issues she is facing, amongst others understanding who she is - sorceress or wolf or both. Her focus is mainly on protecting her coven, but it's not as easy during the war. There are twists and turns and affection from more than one man is adding to the story development.Characters and relationships:I liked Elise, I loved her need  for independence and not being bound to anyone. I also think that she grew as a character.There are three hot likable males, out of which two are seriously pining for Elise. The Head Sorcerer of the Coven, Garrett and the Alpha wolf Enrique. Both of these men have an important role in Elise's life. Garret is betrothed to her and Enrique is helping Elise to come in turns with her wolfie part. Both of them represent the most important parts of Elise's life.Even though the relationships are hot and well-written, I have one problem with it and it has nothing to do with K.A. Young's writing. I just dislike love triangles. It's probably because I can't relate to it and understand, HOW can a woman be so indecisive. I do understand, it's not an easy decision Elise needs to take, especially thinking how independent she is and how different Enrique and Garrett are, but still, sometimes I wanted to shake her up telling: "Wake up, girl and make up your mind! Pick Van!" Because I liked Van best. :)With that said and the fact me not liking triangles in the plot very much, it is really my problem and not the author's problem, I have to finish with saying that the characters were lovable and fascinating and nicely developed throughout the story, so that did not affect the reading and the whole picture of the book. It's not taking over the story and its values and that in my book means, it's a job well done by the author.Generally:Dead Spell is a page turner which is light and easy to read and has some twists and turns in the plot which surprise you and has some fun characters to enjoy. Read it!
