Description:

With the reappearance of a lost love, Jess flees to the only people who can help her control her increasing powers and gain independence – her family’s coven. But with a bruised heart can Jess learn to forgive or will she find new love in the United States? Witchlove, the third installment of the Witchblood series, is a new adventure that takes Jess from New England to Voodoo country in the South.

Witch Love is the third installment in the young adult paranormal romance series that continues to follow Jessica - "Jess" - as she continues to deal with the highs and lows of being a vampire and a witch. In this book, Jess is faced with the reappearance of an old love and she decides to run away to her family's coven to try and harness her powers and gain more independence. While in the United States, Jess will have to attempt to mend her broken heart and to forgive those that have hurt her in the past.

This was a fun and exciting third book in a unique young adult paranormal series. Jess continues to be your typical teenage girl - she's stubborn and demands to get her way, but we see her character changing with the growing responsibilities her powers have given her and the damage of a broken heart. None of the aspects of the plot or the concepts are new, but the mixture is truly interesting. This series continues to surprise me with its plot twists and the mix of paranormal aspects and creatures, and it still proves to be an interesting ride with an enjoyable plot and fun characters. Recommended for fans of YA paranormal fiction!

Hi I'm Emma. I am happily married with two lovely children. I have always loved reading and writing and published my first novel WitchBlood in Jan 2012 with Witchcraft following in June and WitchLove due in Feb 2013. After acquiring an obsessive love of supernatural teen novels...yes I'm a Twilight fan...I decided to write my own supernatural story based here in Manchester in the UK, near where I live and grew up. It's currently dark, windy, cold and very very wet... and easy to get inspiration.

Witchcraft Blog Tour: Review

Witchcraft (WitchBlood #2)
Author: Emma Mills
Genre: YA Paranormal
Release Date: June 15, 2012

Description:

Jess is no ordinary vampire. Protected by the Manchester vampire clan, and initiated by her family’s east coast American coven, she is sought after by every dark witch and warring vampire faction. Jess must fight if she wants to keep hold of her friends, her sanity and finally her existence.

As the dead bodies of human girls begin to stack up, and her recently accepted vampire boyfriend, Daniel, finds himself in prison, Jess goes on a crazy, forbidden trip to London, racing against time to save an old friend and solve the mystery behind Daniel’s incarceration. In battling new enemies and finding new friends, Jess’s confidence finds room to grow, but who will she lose along the way?

Witchcraft is the second book in a young adult paranormal romance series that follows Jessica - "Jess" - as she continues to adjust to her new life as a half-vampire witch. She has the powers of both supernatural beings, but the inability to control them. Now there are dark witches after her and a vampire war to deal with. On top of things, Daniel - Jess' vampire boyfriend - finds himself in prison and it's up to Jess to find out why he's in there and how to get him out. Jess must learn how to fight and how to depend on herself if she has any hope of staying alive and helping her friends.

This was a fun, if somewhat campy, paranormal teen book. The characters continued to be pretty shallow, although we do see some maturation and growth with Jess. There are romance issues to deal with on top of several supernatural beings that are introduced into the series. It's kind of hard to keep tabs on the multiple threads of the story as well as which characters are fighting with who and why. The plot was more in depth and layered than the first book, but the concepts aren't anything new to the genre. Most of the content continued to be at least mildly cliched and stereotypical, but I liked losing myself in the story. This series continues to be an interesting ride with an enjoyable plot line and fun (if confusing and shallow) characters. Recommended for fans of YA vampire fiction and those looking for a fun paranormal read.

Witchblood Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway

Witchblood (Witchblood #1)
Author: Emma Mills

Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Release Date: January 8, 2012

Description:

When Jess steals a glance at a gorgeous guy in a Manchester nightclub, little does she realise how he is going to change her life…or should that be death? Yet, the vampire clan could never have predicted what they were taking on.

With Luke pronounced ‘off-limits’ and the blood of a vampire simmering in Jess’s body, can she forget the love of her life and move on? If not, she will risk exposing the entire Northern vampire clan to untold dangers, in order to live her life the way she wants.

Can Jess be sure that Luke is all he appears to be? Will she succumb to the attraction she desperately tries not to feel for Daniel? And why does she still crave a packet of crisps more than a tasty teenage boy’s blood?

Witchblood is the first book in a young adult paranormal romance series that follows Jessica - "Jess" - as her world is violently ripped away and replaced with one of a vampire. When Jess awakens to find herself no longer human, but a vampire - things go from bad to worse. All Jess wants is for things to go back to normal so she can be with her true love - Luke. When Daniel, her gorgeous maker, forbids her to go near Luke, Jess threatens to expose the entire vampire clan. On top of all her new feelings and adjusting to life as a vampire, Jess must resist the pull she feels for Daniel, while figuring out a way to be with Luke.

This was a fun, if somewhat cheesy, vampire book. The characters are pretty shallow, with little character growth throughout the novel. Jess is your typical teenage girl - she's stubborn and demands to get her way. Things don't change when she dies and becomes a vampire. Of course her maker, Daniel, is gorgeous and mysterious - and Jess must resist his charms. None of this plot or the concepts are new to the genre, but it wasn't intended to be groundbreaking - just pure entertainment. Although I found most of the content to be cliched and stereotypical, I enjoyed being able to kick back and enjoy myself among the campy dialogue and funny situations. This series promises to be an interesting ride with an enjoyable plot and fun characters - although I'm holding out hope that the second installment will gain depth and more layered characters and situations. Recommended for fans of YA vampire fiction and those looking for a light, fun read.
