Spell Bound (Women of the Otherworld #12)Spell Bound by Kel­ley Arm­strong

My rat­ing: 4 of 5 stars

Wak­ing the Witch and Spell Bound should truly be read back to back. In fact, they should be read with 13 on hand, almost as a tril­ogy within the series.

At the end of Wak­ing the Witch, Savan­nah silently thought that if it would reunite an orphan with her grand­mother, Savan­nah would gladly give up her pow­ers. Some­thing heard her and took her up on that unin­tended deal, and she finds her­self pow­er­less for the first time in her life.

Savan­nah has always been so very pow­er­ful that she has counted on her spells more than most witches or sor­cerors do, so she finds liv­ing with­out them to be very dif­fi­cult — espe­cially since a witch hunter and oth­ers are after her. There’s a Super­nat­ural Lib­er­a­tion Move­ment that wants to use her as one of its fig­ure­heads, with or with­out her coöperation, in their quest to bring super­nat­u­rals out of the closet and into the spot­light. She has to do some seri­ous soul-​​searching and growth in the process of avoid­ing ene­mies and get­ting cre­ative about stay­ing alive.

The plot moves extremely quickly, so much so that I couldn’t keep track of what day it was in the book. In fact, it moves right into the plot of 13. I’m hav­ing fits because I don’t have it on hand, and I just can’t wait for the library to get around to me on the hold list — I might have to break down and buy it instead.
