The book should have been, could have been, but simply wasn't. First - there is absolutely no doubt that this woman knows how to write. Second, she did suck me in to the story - quickly! Third, I was left wanting and disappointed by what should have been a great book (books), but wasn't. This was a book that could have easily been developed in to three books. Talk about 100 questions. I had more like a thousand. And I feel that if the author had had the opportunity to work with a good editor, these questions, for the most part, would have been answered and the entire experience would have been worlds more satisfying. So, my issues with the book: First, the book started in the middle, and I don't mean the middle of what should have been the first book, but rather the middle of what easily could have been the second book in a trilogy. Second, the character development was poor - not because of what was there, but because of what wasn't. What we are given about the two girls is good, but it's just pieces of a puzzle, and not enough pieces that one could fill in what was missing. Third, the ending just didn't work. Maybe it could have if the writing and character/scene/plot development had been better over all, but I don't think so. The ending just didn't fit eight everything else we'd been given. I am surprised by all of the five star reviews. It's hard to believe that they are honest assessments if this story. Belinda Frisch IS a good, if not excellent author. But what she needs is some honest feedback/appraisals and she needs what every good author needs - a really awesome editor who can mine the gold from the black dirt. Because the gold is there... Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. This book sucks you in from the start. I feel very honored to be one of the first to read it. Brea and Harmony are dealing with a violent ghost named Tom and neither knows why he is haunting them until one of them dies... I haven't read a horror book in a while. This book did have me scared and thinking about stuff for a while. Thanks Belinda, for such a great read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Meet Harmony Wolcott. Damaged and determined, she'll take you to the wrong side of the tracks and you'll love it. "This is a great book that pulled me in from the beginning pages and would not let go until the end." -Nightly Reading Review "When the words of a book reach out, grips you by the throat, and pulls you from the first page to the very end in one sitting, then that is a great book. Dead Spell did just that. I was completely captivated from the very beginning and felt as though I couldn't read it quickly enough." -Angela Scott Harmony's darkest secret has clawed its way back from the grave and only her best friend, Brea believes her. Adam, Harmony's boyfriend, fears for her safety. Her mentally ill mother is too busy tending her own demons to care. Brea's family, who has denounced Harmony's for years, buried the truth about their shared tragic past along with their former friendship. Harmony looks for answers about the monster's identity in the wreckage of her abandoned childhood home but when her search leads her down a dark path, Brea and Adam must pick up the crumbs to get much needed closure. Some secrets you keep, even from yourself. Dead Spell is about a ghost with a past and a girl who would die to forget it. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I think the craziness of this book it was got me hooked. Seeing ghost, going crazy, is a great plot line. But I had a hard time connecting with the main character Harmony. I saw that she had a troubled life but the way she went about it made me shake my head. I understood that she is trying to get away from certain things, but still some of it is too much. I did, however connect more with Brea her friend. I loved this girl . She is the type that I want for a best friend. Someone loyal, trusting , and always there for you.
The whole plot line of the ghost I did enjoy. I like seeing how the ghost drove someone crazy. As the reader continues to read, you began to see how everything is connected. That right there gave me some serious goosebumps. I mean, it was just freaky. Playing with the Quijia board is not cool people!
The love interest in the story drove me mad. Here this girl had such a great guy and she just threw him away! I mean, really chic! I think the way it played out with all of the characters involved it did bring more to the story.
Overall, this is good book to read. But beware there is a whole lot of freaky ghost and messed up stuff going on. *There is sex, cursing, drinking, and drugs.* (
