Welcome
to my stop at the ‘Witchbound’ series Blog Tour. The ‘Witchbound’ series is a YA Urban fantasy series. For more information about this tour and the tour
schedule please go here.

I’m
super excited to be participating in this tour and I hope you enjoy your stay.

I don’t consider myself a witch, that’s my parents’ thing. I’ve never really
believed in magic either. Sure, I tried it a few times. Fell for the whole
“magic happens” thing. But it didn’t happen to me. No amount of rhyming stopped
my parents from moving me halfway across the country. Not one spell stopped me
from being labeled the town freak.

And worst of all, no matter how many times I begged the Universe to bring my
twin back, I was ignored. Until now.

He’s back all right. And in a magical bind of his own. Not the
magic-won’t-work-for-me kind either. In fact, it’s working a little too well.
Too dark. Too deep.

It turns out our entire family’s magical roots run just as deep and my brother
didn’t end up where he is by accident. So I’m going to help him. But magic
isn’t really on my side. Nope. Once I finally get the craft under control, I’m
expected to abandon the one person in the world who’s closest to me, just to
save myself.

A couple
of weeks ago I participated in the cover reveal of book three in the ‘Witchbound’
series. When I saw the sign up page for the ‘Witchbound’ blog tour on Candace’s Book Blog I signed up immediately. This book series sounded really interesting
and I couldn’t wait to start reading it. So for this book tour I received the
first book ‘Roots’ and I started reading it last weekend.

In ‘Roots’
we meet Baltimore Land, an 17 year old girl who grew up with parents who
believed in Wicca. All her life Baltimore felt like her parents were a little
crazy because nothing about witchcraft could be real. Right?! What most people don’t
know is that Baltimore has a twin brother called Brooklyn. Brooklyn walked away
from home almost two years ago and nobody has heard from him since, except
Baltimore. When Baltimore gets the opportunity to visit her brother without her
parents finding out she can’t resist. But when Baltimore arrives at her
brothers new home, she soon learns that there is a lot Brooklyn didn’t tell
her. Soon Baltimore finds out that there really is Magic and that she’s
actually a very powerful witch. Unfortunately Brooklyn isn’t the brother she
used to know and now Baltimore is in real danger. There is a lot Baltimore doesn’t
know about magic but will there be enough time for her to learn more about being
a witch or is she too late?

When I
started reading ‘Roots’ I didn’t really know what I could expect. I knew this
book would be about magic and witches and seeing that I’ve been a huge fan my
whole life of all things surrounding witches, this sounded like a book for me. What
I liked about this book was the way magic and witch stuff always had been a
part of Baltimore’s life. She didn’t believe it to be a real thing but she
really crew up learning about protective plants and pentagrams. In most books the
main character just stumbles upon magic and has to learn everything from
scratch. In this book Baltimore already had a lot of knowledge and I really
liked that.

The
character I liked the most in this book was Nick. Nick is a witch himself and
he saves Baltimore more than ones. What I liked about him is how mature he was.
He really liked Baltimore and he wanted to tell her everything about magic but
he respected the wishes of his elder and that’s why he didn’t spill anything. I
loved that. He was just so damn cute!

Baltimore
just really irritated me at times. She was just so stubborn! You would think
that you learned your lesson when a spell went terribly wrong the first time,
but she just keeps doing stupid spells. I really wanted to yell at her
sometimes.

I must
say I really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read. Nothing to complicated but
that made this a perfect relaxing read. I loved the magic stuff and it just
made me think of the old times where I would read every Wicca and witch book
out there. 

Book Two: ‘Sprung’

Since she discovered magic, seventeen-year-old Skye
Jackson’s life is almost perfect. Almost. Even perfect has its glitches.

What happens when the one with all the power makes the
biggest mistakes? Welcome to my life.

Four months ago, I couldn’t have been happier. When my
parents got divorced, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. Especially when Mom married a
guy half her age. But then I found out I wasn’t the average Joana. Discovering
magic existed and, best of all, I could use it, made everything easier to deal
with. That is until I got a little too spell happy. But what girl wouldn’t
defend her best friend against a world-class creep? Now I’m stuck in a
nightmare, forced to make life and death decisions I never dreamed I’d face.

Calida Cevallos has never been special. In fact, as far
as she’s concerned, there isn’t an exceptional bone in her body. But, this
summer, she’ll discover extraordinary literally runs through her veins.

I’ve always been a burden. The girl people put up with,
the one they tolerated. When I finally found someone who actually wanted me
around, I couldn’t have be happier. But lately something’s been bubbling at the
surface. Something wants to break free…and I’m afraid it’s me.

I love him. And, for a time, I thought I needed him. Now
I’m not so sure. These days, I get the feeling I’m the one who’s needed. By
whom? I’m about to find out.

About the Author:

 

she loved to read. She found herself
engulfed in novels by Janette Oke and L.M. Montgomery, but never seemed to find
herself in the pages. At the age of 11 she declared she would simply have to rewrite
them, and become the youngest author in history. But life was full of baseball,
homework, BFFs and boys. Decades later, having studied writing in college
and pursued it as a career, she rediscovered her hobby. She is excited to
introduce The Witchbound Series to the world with hopes someone will love this
story as much as she does. Kelbian lives in Toronto, Ontario with her two
children (where, thanks to a thick layer of smog, Junes are much warmer than
they used to be).
