I didn't want it to end

SHORT VERSION
Enchantment, a paranormal romance that ends on a bang, is a win on so many levels. It's the third novel in the Spellbound Trilogy by Nikki Jefford, and I loved how she wrapped everything up so nicely while simultaneously introducing us to entirely new cities, magic, and people. I didn't want the series to end, but I'm happy with it nonetheless.

THE DETAILS
The Spellbound Trilogy covers a lot of ground--in Entangled (#1), we meet Gray and Charlene: twin American witches who end up sharing a body and trying to kill each other for it. In Duplicity (#2), Gray is duplicated, and the two Grays vie to survive a world in which only one is supposed to exist... all the while becoming less and less the same person.

In Enchantment, the duplicate Gray--the one who ultimately wasn't supposed to come back--travels to Spain to escape her past and try to figure everything out. In the course of trying to figure out a new sense of normal, she stumbles across Adrian Montez: a warlock who's known as the Avenger. The worst of it? He has his eyes set on her. Though he's dangerous and the last person in the world Gray wants in her life, someone casts a love spell on her and she suddenly can't get him out of her mind. She has to figure out how to break the spell or risk loving someone who destroys lives for a living... and losing her free will in the process.

The pacing was great--I was never bored or skimming. This novel jumps around Europe a bit, and I loved exploring Barcelona and Paris through Gray. To see the cities through Jefford's eyes was exquisite; I walked away from the novel with a new appreciation for both cities.

What I liked best, though, was learning about Adrian the Avenger. In the previous novels, he's a side character who causes trouble pretty much everywhere and can't be trusted. But in Enchantment, we learn what made him that way. The love spell affects him by letting him live a life that's not miserable, for once, and to see his change affected me most of all the characters'.

Gray was fun, as she has been for the last two books, and I cheered her on through the novel. She's smart, powerful, and a bit dastardly herself. I like that she's no angel.

The only thing that caught me off guard was the moment the love spell took hold on Gray. I didn't understand what had happened until the next chapter (when it became abundantly clear, thanks to Adrian's POV). Because the perspectives never dip into the mindset of the person who did the spell--and because that would give us too much dramatic irony--I'm not really sure of how else Jefford could have communicated the spell.

Aside from that, I breezed through the novel. I wish this series hadn't ended, but I like the way everything was wrapped up. The final lines left me smiling like a nerd--the ending is so freaking adorable.

I could not put it down and I didn't want it to end.  I'm glad Jae and Mark would have a future but maybe Korea might need them again in the future?

I loved this book and did not want it to end.  As soon as I began with chapter one, I was hooked.  The characters are engaging, and you care about each one of them.  They weave together the horrors of Nazi Austria, the upper crust of English society as well as the lowest class, a small country town near the Channel, and even high society and racism in New Orleans.  All of these elements come together in an unlikely camaraderie and friendship among five young women thrust together in the early days of World War ll.  Through these women we learn so much about the war in England, and especially the strong women who held it all together.  My only complaint with the book is that I finished it so quickly; I want more and would have loved to have learned more about all of their adventures especially at the end of the war.

I highly recommend this book!

I found myself laughing and crying with this book. I fell in love with the story and didn't want it to end.  I wouldn't be surprised if this is made into a movie. It's a unique premise and it successfully covers a lot of different aspects of human relationships. I found each character very well built and enjoyable. As a parent I felt so much pain for the boys.  A truly beautiful story. I wish it had kept going. Or maybe there will be a sequel?  If this is not based at all on a real ever then I'm so impressed with the authors imagination.
