Mara Pryce never imagined that her life was anything but normal and then a strange gray-eyed young man appears at her graduation. When he vanishes without a trace, she’s convinced he’s a figment of her imagination. Then he appears again and shatters her whole world.

Mara is an enchanter, part of an ancient line of Wiccan power, and a war is raging—one of good and evil—between the Enchanted and the Iniquitous.

The Iniquitous want her dead and it’s Theodore’s job as her protector to keep her safe.

When Mara and Theodore arrive at a safe house, where Mara will remain hidden while learning about her powers, they find that the real threat might be a little closer to home than they want to believe.

Hello everyone I hope you all have an amazing and wonderful day❤ What are you guys reading?📚 I’m currently trying to pick my next read😆

The reason why I wanted to read Enchant was because of the cover, it’s stunning & dreamy and I definitely thought I was going to like the book even before reading the synopsis. After reading the synopsis I found myself eager to read this book, I mean a gray-eyed guy that goes to her graduation and when she sees him disappears?!  This was a book I definitely didn’t want to miss! Plus, it’d been a while since I read a Paranormal book😆

The story is about Mara who’s life changes drastically when she meets Theodore, a mysterious guy she saw at her graduation and vanished before her eyes. Things get even more complicated when he tells her what she is… She’s The Chosen One, an Enchanter. Now she and Theodore, her protector, travel to a safe house before the Iniquitous, who want her dead, reach them. 

Enchant was a quick read for me. I think I read it fast because, as I mentioned before, it’s been a while since I read a YA Paranormal book. I loved the idea of the safe house being kind of like a boarding school where other Enchanters had to learn how to master their powers!

Sadly, I didn’t end up liking this book as I thought I would. I wasn’t able to connect with the characters and while I really wanted to like Theo I just couldn’t. He had a temper and it usually annoyed me that Mara still liked him. I know he was her protector and everything, but sometimes he kind of exaggerated his actions and got Mara in a problem, then again there were other times when he made me laugh, I was confused by his personality. Another thing was that the author used food to describe characters.

While it was a quick read I don’t think I’m going to read the next book in the trilogy, maybe this book wasn’t for me, but if you guys give it a try I hope you like it!
