Casted by: Sonya Loveday
Review by Crystal De Leon
Overall Rating: 5/5 STARS
Pages: 606
Synopsis:
“My mind absorbed everything in the spell book I clutched
tightly to me. Pages ruffled inside of my head, urging me to remember things
and then to forget them. Voices chanted with tempo rising at the breaking
points of pain until the book vanished and words to an ancient spell scribed
across my arms. Each stroke brought blood to the surface, imprinting words I
could not read; words that would forever change who I was.”
Jade had spent the majority of her life running from the Triad. A powerful group, who would stop at nothing to obtain Jade and the missing spell book for leader, Lorenzo’s, nefarious plans. And now that she has absorbed the highly coveted magic contained inside the missing book, there is nowhere left for her to hide.
With the help of her friends, Jade steps out from the shadows and learns how to fight back. But no one is prepared for Elinor-the woman bound inside of the book that’s trapped in Jade’s mind. Now she not only needs to protect herself from the Triad, but from what’s hiding inside her mind as well.
Jade never expected the answer to it all would revolve around love.
Edge is dark, mysterious, and a sworn member of the Triad. He also hides a secret past that threatens the thin line he walks between good and evil. Lives are at stake when Jade and Edge’s two worlds collide. Can Jade learn to trust him when he says he is her pre-ordained and vows to do everything he can to protect her? But more importantly, can she trust herself and the woman in her mind?

Review:
I have read
a lot of fantasy books of different sub-genre based on powers or abilities of
some sort, but Sonya Loveday’s Casted takes the cake!
Even though
the story built steadily throughout the novel at an average pace I enjoyed
every minute of learning who Jade is and snippets of who she had been before the
book and her friends entered into her life.
We see her
turning from a clueless girl into a strong woman whom commands an even stronger
power who is releasing the crippling fears that have haunted her all her life
and essentially finds her way to becoming one of, if not the strongest spell
caster of all time.
This book
ended on a SERIOUS cliff hanger and I
for one cannot wait to see what happens next…
Honest to
God, the last chapter threw me through a loop, my fingernails…gone…
Side note: I
did notice a few areas where there were missing words or misuse of words but
the story is so compelling I was able to overlook this and believe Casted is
well deserving of the 5 stars.
Spelled is
the second book in this series and is also available on Amazon.
