Review
I received Embrace in return for an honest review from the publisher. Embrace is story of Madison’s life changes when she meets
Isaac the new boy in school at a beach party. Madison’s long term boyfriend
moved away they decided to stay friends but when she meets the new boy there is
a spark. However Madison isn’t the only one interested in Isaac her former
friend and enemy Paige also has her eyes set on him. When Madison captures
Isaac’s eye she’s not sure how he feels as her attraction grows. Things are put
on hold when her best friend starts seeing things.
Kaylee barely survives an accident and things get worse
with her seeing more things her parents even institute her in the hospital
after an episode at school. While Madison tries to figure out what’s happening
to her friend she resorts to surfing the web coming to the conclusion that she’s
cursed. After a little research she comes up with a spell to try but before she
can cast it Isaac shows up saving her from almost burning down the house. With
the help from Isaac she will learn that she’s more than just human she’s also a
witch and they will have to ban together if they plan to save Kaylee as well as
learn to control her powers.
I wasn't sure how I felt at first with Madison she’s kind
of an emotional girl who lets them rule her but she’s also a teenager who lost
her mom at a young age. She has issues she’s broken but through witchcraft and
love she may be able to learn to deal with them. I liked Isaac right from the start
he’s a good guy you can’t help liking him. He’s a perfect complement to Madison’s
emotions.
It’s been so long since I read the synopsis for Embrace
if that shows you how long it’s been on my shelf. I honestly didn’t know what
to expect when I started it. Embrace is a high school story where the main
character learns that she comes from a long line of witches and has to embrace
her magic. I found the concept captivating it was a hard to put down story I was
curious to see how it would end. I like the witch aspect how they descended
from the Salem witches. The characters are easy to connect with I spent the
whole book connected to Madison’s emotional ride cheering her on. I haven’t read
very many witch books but this is one of the better ones the story is filled
with romance, mystery, and enough suspense to keep the reader on the end of
their seat. I can’t wait to read the next on in the series and see what the
little coven has in store.
4 out of 5 stars
