About Bewitching Hannah:
Sixteen-year-old Hannah Fitzgerald has always known she is descended from a troubled legacy of magic. Although a stranger to her coven in Annapolis, she is no stranger to grief and denial. However, when an ancient prophecy reveals the rise of a young, powerful Chesapeake witch and the impending death of another, she realizes she can no longer afford to suppress the magic that has taken away so much. She seeks out the frighteningly scarred, yet mysterious W, a Calvert descendant who is destined to change her life, but even he cannot prepare her for the danger that lies ahead. Engaged in a deadly game without knowing who her true rival is, Hannah isn’t certain she will survive, and if she loses she may lose everything, including the ones she loves.

Book Review: Disenchanted by Leigh Goff ~ #Witches #YA ~ @Leigh_Goff @MirrorWorldPublishing
Book Information:
Paperback: 266 pages
Publisher: Mirror World Publishing
Release Date: June 1, 2015
ISBN-10: 0992049091
ISBN-13: 978-0992049096
About the Book:
Sixteen-year-old Sophie Goodchild is an outcast among the ordinaries and her coven, but not because she’s untalented. Descended from a powerful Wethersfield witch, her spellcasting gift is awkwardly emerging, but that’s the least of her worries. The boy she’s forbidden to fall for, a descendant of the man who condemned her witch ancestor to hang, carries a dark secret that could destroy them both unless Sophie learns how to tap into the mysterious power of her diamond bloodcharm.
Disenchanted is a book that explores the lives of hideaway witches in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Descended from a long line of Wethersfield witches, Sophie Goodchild is actually having difficulties with her powers. She has the ability to spellcast but not in the traditional fashion. She finds that most of the spells she casts turn out incredibly wrong and put her and the underground witches in danger. You see, the descendant of the man who hung her witchy ancestor is a prominent figure in town and both of his sons are back. To be caught doing witchcraft means a shakedown of any business owned by the accused witch, and disappearance. Now, not only does the coven have to watch out for Judge Mathers and his groupies, his sons, Zeke and Alexavier are following in their father's footsteps.
When Sophie has a bit of trouble with a stalker, she is surprised when none other than a Mather steps up to protect her. Alexavier and Sophie are drawn together even though they have been mortal enemies for centuries. To like a Mather is to renounce your claim to be a witch. Nothing good can come from fraternizing with the enemy. Yet, that's what Sophie and Alexavier do - he can't help but watch over her and she can't help but want to be around him as much as she can.
Disenchanted is an amazing coming-of-age story with a paranormal twist. Sophie may be young, but she's been forced to deal with adult issues since she's a half-witch living in a town of regular townsfolk. I enjoy the interactions between Sophie and Alexavier. Sophie is a bit juvenile at times but she's only 16; I don't expect her to completely act like an adult. She's a little moody and whiny but what teenager isn't at one point or another?! We've all been a teenager - it's not easy. Add in a history of witchcraft, prejudices, and unjust deaths, and I'm not sure how any of the Wethersfield witches are sane.
Leigh Goff penned quite the historical fiction, young adult paranormal novel. Her world building allowed me to visualize the story and play it in my head. I enjoyed all of the characters in Disenchanted, even the ones that stressed me out with their stupid accusations, judgments, and hypocrisies. Just because someone acts, lives, or practices differently than you or I doesn't mean it's wrong or should be stopped (in most cases anyway). Anyway (as I step off of my soapbox), the book is well-paced, engaged me from the beginning, and kept me interested from start to finish. And that ending - wow! The emotions I felt while reading this book were strong but the emotions I felt at the end were powerful. I was sad but hopeful at the same time.I was sent the book for review and it's taken me way too long to get to it, and for that I apologize. I'm sorry I waited so long to read a wonderful book.

Read an Excerpt:
Lightning flashed, followed by a rumble of thunder, jolting me alert. A tempest churned over the Chesapeake Bay and was rolling toward town. I stared at the clouds, ready to calculate how much time we had before the rain hit. Another bright flash of white-hot lightning forked across the purplish-black sky. One, two…twenty.
Boom.
The storm was at least four miles away. I pressed a hand over my chest, feeling the thumping slow.
I glanced at Aunt J, who was no longer bopping her head to the bad music. Instead, she blinked over and over, and rubbed her eyes with one hand.
“If you’re tired, I can drive.” Who needed a license when I’d already mastered a moped along with the Green Briar golf carts?
Her slender fingers searched for me as if I were a ghost she could only hear. She grasped my arm tightly.
“Hannah?” Panic drenched her voice.
My eyes widened. “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t see. I mean, I see something, but it’s not the road. What’s wrong with me?”
I peered out the windshield. A distant telephone pole grew bigger as her foot stuck to the accelerator.
A frightening swell of adrenaline flooded my veins, sending my heart into a frenzy. “Stop!” I yelled, but she was frozen with fright. I grabbed the steering wheel and threw my leg over to jam on the brake pedal.
It was too late. Absolute silence fell over us in the grim second before we plowed into the pole. My lower body slammed into the dashboard while the seatbelt squeezed hard against my ribs. Metal groaned. White bubbles deployed. Glass shattered with a scream. Or maybe the scream was mine. The car groaned to a halt with a hiss and clank.
Stillness settled over us. My head was reeling as I checked myself for injuries. Bursts of pain sparked from my chest and leg.
“Hannah?” Aunt J’s quivering voice reached out.
I pried my eyes open. She had escaped her seatbelt. Her lips and hands were trembling, but I saw no blood or broken skin. Inwardly, I sighed with relief.
“Are you okay?” she asked.
I sucked in a shallow breath. “Me? Fine,” I managed, not wanting to stress her out, but I struggled to breathe and my left leg was wedged under the intruding dashboard.
She reached over, wiping her hands across my cheeks and forehead, dusting away crumbs of glass. She touched her trembling fingers to the seatbelt release and pressed on it, over and over. “Come on, dammit. Let go.”
I pushed her hand away, restraining a whimper. “It’s okay. Go get help.”
She nodded and with a hard push, shoved her door open. “I’ll be right back.”
A heavy silence fell over the car’s interior until a hiss sounded from the engine. Within seconds, the smell of burning oil seeped in through the vents.
One toxic breath went deeper than I meant it to. “Ow!” I coughed and writhed beneath the unyielding seatbelt like a five-year-old having a tantrum. Panic swept over me as I struggled for freedom.
Stress vibrated deep in my gut. Self-soothe, self-soothe, I reminded myself. The air grew thicker with burning oil and a starburst of pain wracked my body. I was going to die. Unless…
No. How could I even think it? There had to be another way because what if I couldn’t send it back? What if it took me to the same terrible place it had taken them?
I peered out the windows, searching. There was no one. I turned my focus on the glove box. Maybe Aunt J kept a knife in there or a pair of floral scissors. I pushed the button hard, again and again. Jammed. My heart raced.
A burst of smoke puffed into the car’s interior. I coughed and closed my eyes. The pressure on my leg intensified and the sickening fumes filled me with dread. Eff it. I balled my hands into fists.
I recalled the spell I’d overheard my dad utter once. I recited it in my head before casting, making sure I had it right. “By the power of fire, I do summon and churn, and call thee forth to blaze and burn.”
I stopped breathing, trying to sense any changes. I felt no different. And then it filled my core like a warm sphere of energy. Quickly, the power expanded into a blazing inferno. My back arched, pressing me harder into the seatbelt as my internal fire surged. Every cell jolted awake. My heart pounded out of control as I imagined channeling the smoldering energy. Suddenly, my hands tingled with intense power. I swallowed hard and aimed my fingers at the strap. The fiery threads trickled out in a wiggly pattern until I steadied my hand. The seatbelt burned orange, then cooled to black before separating.
