Jarrod Thornton is mesmerizing,

but Kate Warren doesn't know why.

The moment the new guy walks into the room, Kate senses something strange and intense about him. Something supernatural. Her instincts are proven correct a few minutes later when, bullied by his classmates, Jarrod unknowingly conjures up a freak thunderstorm inside their classroom.

Jarrod doesn't believe in the paranormal. When Kate tries to convince him that he has extraordinary powers that need to be harnessed, he only puts up with her "hocus pocus" notions because he finds her captivating. However, the dangerous, uncontrolled strengthening of his gift finally convinces Jarrod that he must take Kate's theories seriously. Together, they embark on a remarkable journey -- one which will unravel the mystery that has haunted Jarrod's family for generations and pit the teens against immense forces in a battle to undo the past and reshape the future.

Grab this book before someone else does!

This book is about Kate, a witch in training, who meets a boy that doesnt know he has a power. Kate is intent on teaching him how to control it, before he kills some one. Then she discovers his power is a gift given to him to end a family curse.

It isnt just your average cleche book about magic, evil sorcerors, time travel, and teenage problems... its a non-stop journey that you wont be able to rest untill you've reached the end.


Loved It!

I read this book at least three times when I was in the eighth grade and I absolutly loved it! This book allowed me to fall into the story and forget about my own surroundings. As a fourteen-year-old girl, I felt as though the characters were real people and as though the story could actually happen. Now I am studying to become a teacher and I am looking for some of my favorite books from when I was in middle and high school to help to entice reluctant readers to pick up a book.

An excellent take on young love and witchcraft

I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable examination of young love and witchcraft. The text does get somewhat too fantastic in the second half, but the basic moral is quite appropriate for teen readers. It also deals in a somewhat realistic manner with being an outsider in a very cliquish setting.


It was just average for me

This book was ok. I got it b/c of the reviews on Amazon, but it was just alright for me.
