YA book review: The Trouble with Spells (Of Witches and Warlocks series, book one) by Lacey Weatherford
Paperback: 246 pages Publisher: Global Authors Publishers (March 11, 2011) Summary: Portia Mullins had always lived the life of a normal teenager, up until her sixteenth birthday. She is then informed by her grandma that she is actually a witch who is a descendant from a long line of witches and warlocks. After overcoming her disbelief she finds that being a member of the coven comes with one great perk in the form of the school's handsome bad boy, Vance Mangum. Vance and Portia have an immediate connection as a budding romance begins, only to be threatened by turbulent skies on the horizon as Vance's checkered past rears its ugly head to haunt them. Portia is forced to use her untried powers in defense of everything she loves in a desperate attempt to hold on to the one thing that really matters in her life. My review: When girls celebrate their Sweet Sixteen they usually have a huge celebration or go on a special trip to commemorate this milestone in their life.
