Amy Atwood sold her soul to the Devil a long time ago… But when she finds Lucifer seducing her sister, she decides to go “normal” cold turkey, and joins Witches Anonymous. Unfortunately, while her promise to never use witchcraft again is sincere, no one else seems to have a problem with trying to manipulate her into using her powers.

I loved how this book took a completely normal and almost mundane dynamic (sisters fighting over the same guy anyone?) and made it something unique and different – and paranormal! The characters are great, and the story is really quick. It’s only 100 pages but they’re all put to good use, which is nice. This is a super quick and fun read, I don’t want to say too much and spoil it, but I can tell you that I will be checking out the other books in this series because this was a great little book!

No rating, we'll see if I pass the PMP :-)

Oh. My. Gosh. This book was fantastic!!! The Awakening of Leeowyn Blake is a mix of paranormal, fantasy, mystery, romance…. Gosh, just everything!!!

Leeowyn’s mother ran off with her when she was four and moved her to Florida, where they’ve lived a normal life for quite some time. Until one day, Leeowyn’s uncle shows up and tells her that her dad is dead, but that he can introduce her to that side of the family. Leeowyn spends the next few years going back and forth between houses, spending the fall and winter with her father’s family, and the summers with her mom. But, the year she turns eighteen, everything is different, she starts having crazy dreams, and people are keeping even more secrets from her than usual… What will happen after her eighteenth birthday???

There’s so much that goes on in this book that I can’t even describe it, it was seriously awesome. I was so impressed that I can’t even explain it, and I never wanted to put it down!


Pretty cool sounding synopsis, huh? I certainly thought so when I was asked to review this book! And the story and plot did not disappoint in that regard – it was definitely interesting and moved along at a good pace. The characters were witty and amusing, and I was definitely surprised by the twist at the end! However, I have to admit that I had a little trouble getting into the story and staying in the story, because to me it read almost like a play instead of a book. There was a lot of “stage direction” for lack of a better description that sometimes got in the way of the narration.

That’s not to say that it was bad or not worth reading – on the contrary, I’m really glad I kept with the story, because like I said, the plot was spot on, and I was definitely amused throughout. In fact, by the time I reached about 40% (I read it on my Kindle) I was really annoyed with work for interrupting my reading! This is definitely an interesting take on the idea of demons and magic, and it’s definitely worth your time.
