Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-This fourth title in the series finds the Cahors and Deveraux covens still entangled in their love-hate battle. Amanda, Holly, Nicole, and company find themselves possessed, thralled, transported in time, and on the run from demons and other witches/warlocks while trying to sort through young adult angst and love. Myriad players from the other three books make an appearance, creating confusion in characters and plot lines. The authors seem to assume that readers will remember everyone from the previous titles and do little to refresh or develop any of them here. With few clues to cue readers about prior events and relationships, Spellbound does not stand alone. Its strength is the integration of witch/warlock practices and philosophy into the narrative. The chants at the beginning of each chapter are a terrific mechanism to generate suspense and sustain the mood but this is often lost in the confusion of tracking characters' actions, feelings, and motivation. Gross, vile, and gory demons; golems; exorcism intertwined with sexual innuendo; and blooming love add to the muddle. The inclusion of yet another coven leader, Alex Carruthers, ensures that a fifth book is forthcoming.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's more than just magick, December 8, 2003

By

This review is from: Spellbound (Wicked) (Mass Market Paperback)

The fourth in the Wicked series, Spellbound finally brings down the dreaded war onto the heads of all of the young people involved. Michael Devereaux has openly attacked the Tricoven, killing several of their numbers even as he takes out hundreds of innocent lives. The Supreme Coven attacks Michael, and even his sons have turned against him. But there is still much dissension between the ranks of the Tricoven, even though they realize failing to work together could destroy the world. Holly is a mess, held captive by Michael and unaware of herself or her surroundings. The Tricoven must keep their remaining numbers alive, attempt to rescue Holly, convince the Mother Coven to help them out, and destroy Michael Devereaux.
This book has even more emotion, turmoil, and magick. Holly's uncle finally puts in a true appearance in this book, and Nicole grows to even more importance. But I'll warn you, it's a cliffhanger; not much is resolved by the end of the book so--we'd better hope there's a fifth!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best wicked book in the series!!, August 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Spellbound (Wicked) (Mass Market Paperback)

this was far by, in my opinion, the best wicked book in the series. in the beginning, many of the tri-coven members try to flee from an attack made by the warlock Michael Deveraux against the city of seattle. I hate to disappoint you guys but im telling you NOT ALL of the tri-coven members will survive. in the meantime, Holly is now possessed by at least a hundred demons while being in thrall to Michael and is planning on using her to kill her loved ones after she and jer had finally saved barbara from the Nightmare Dreamtime but this time jer is now stuck in that dimension and only holly's uncle can save him.
The leader of the supreme coven also has send demons to find and destroy Holly, Amanda, and Nicole but As you can see Nicole has been kidnapped again by eli and james and is taken hostage in the island of avalon. this time, the tri coven must finally do battle with the supreme coven and the house of Deveraux before it it too late. this is the best book in the series and the ending is a real shocker concerning Nicole and also a new warlock name alex has come to join the tri coven to destroy michael and Sir william moore. excellent book i think alot of people wont be disappointed with this one but it's too bad its the last book. i recommend it though. great book

I agree with all the reviews for this book. It was an excellent book. I was upset that there were a lot of questions for me as a reader as to what is going to happen. I emailed Nancy and she informed me that there were more books planned in the series, but there was a slight problem with the publishing company. I still keep my fingers crossed that she will write more in the series.
