Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-This fourth title in the series finds the Cahors and Deveraux covens still entangled in their love-hate battle. Amanda, Holly, Nicole, and company find themselves possessed, thralled, transported in time, and on the run from demons and other witches/warlocks while trying to sort through young adult angst and love. Myriad players from the other three books make an appearance, creating confusion in characters and plot lines. The authors seem to assume that readers will remember everyone from the previous titles and do little to refresh or develop any of them here. With few clues to cue readers about prior events and relationships, Spellbound does not stand alone. Its strength is the integration of witch/warlock practices and philosophy into the narrative. The chants at the beginning of each chapter are a terrific mechanism to generate suspense and sustain the mood but this is often lost in the confusion of tracking characters' actions, feelings, and motivation. Gross, vile, and gory demons; golems; exorcism intertwined with sexual innuendo; and blooming love add to the muddle. The inclusion of yet another coven leader, Alex Carruthers, ensures that a fifth book is forthcoming.

Book Description

After months of battles and betrayals, Holly Cathers's Coven of Light, the Tri-Coven, is in disarray - Eddie, Kialish, Silvana, and Alonzo are dead; Nicole is trapped on the island of Avalon; and Holly - delirious from being pulled out of the Dreamtime - has turned herself over to the leader of the Deveraux coven, Michael Deveraux. Now it is Jer's turn to attempt a rescue of his soul mate. But a new warlock has arrived in Seattle. Alex Carruthers has power, looks, and charisma. Will he turn the Tri-Coven in a new direction? And will he sacrifice Holly to the greater good? --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely LOVE this series....., July 17 2004
This review is from: Spellbound (Mass Market Paperback)
Nancy Holder is a fantastic Author and she is at her best with these books.
I had all four Books finished within a few days because I couldn't stop reading them... I just hope that there's a fifth book because the fourth ends in a cliffhanger that leaves you desperately wanting more.
Magic isn't the only thing that makes these books so interesting and wonderful, and believe me Nancy does a wonderful job with that alone, but the way she describes the characters and their emotions and the events going on around them... It almost makes you feel as if you're there and it makes these books addicting. She has such a way with words.
I like how the books go between the past and the present... It gives as glimpses of past events that relate to what is going on the the present.. Or that would explain what is going on in the present... And she does a wonderful job of doing so.
I love the incantations said by both the "Cahors" and the "Deveraux" at the beginning of each chapter.
I really can't say enough good things about these books, I love them and I recommend them to anyone who likes this sort of thing. They really are wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's more than just magick, Dec 8 2003
This review is from: Spellbound (Mass Market Paperback)
The fourth in the Wicked series, Spellbound finally brings down the dreaded war onto the heads of all of the young people involved. Michael Devereaux has openly attacked the Tricoven, killing several of their numbers even as he takes out hundreds of innocent lives. The Supreme Coven attacks Michael, and even his sons have turned against him. But there is still much dissension between the ranks of the Tricoven, even though they realize failing to work together could destroy the world. Holly is a mess, held captive by Michael and unaware of herself or her surroundings. The Tricoven must keep their remaining numbers alive, attempt to rescue Holly, convince the Mother Coven to help them out, and destroy Michael Devereaux.
This book has even more emotion, turmoil, and magick. Holly's uncle finally puts in a true appearance in this book, and Nicole grows to even more importance. But I'll warn you, it's a cliffhanger; not much is resolved by the end of the book so--we'd better hope there's a fifth!

5.0 out of 5 stars very good fourth book, Nov 17 2003
By 
tammy (chicago, il United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spellbound (Mass Market Paperback)
all the mystery and drama comes to a head in this book. the tri-coven struggles to move on without holly, who is enthralled to michael. he has devious plans of his own which if he succeeds will put him as the head of the supreme convent and have holly dead(old news there he has been trying to do that since book 1). this book is full of betrayal,love, lust and all the good things that we have come to love from this series. i think legacy was a little better, but i hope nancy holder plans a lot more of these books because they are too good to put down.
