Unfortunately I did not finish this book, I stopped at 14%. I was not fond of the writing, it was mediocre at best. The pace was fast but the chracaters and story had no emotions attached to it. At that point in the book I was not interested in finding out more.

‘Enchant’ is a beautifully written YA paranormal romance. Though author Micalea Smeltzer makes use of some familiar YA tropes (teenage girl unknowingly about to come into her powers on her nearing birthday and is thrown into the hidden supernatural world she never knew she was born into) this book holds its own within the genre.

I love the witty banter and teasing between main character Mara and her protector, Theodore. His younger sister, Adelaide, adds to the realistic and sarcasm-laced dialog.

Theo is part charming and suave, part brooding silent type, and at all times sarcastic. His protectiveness of his sister and his charge is heartwarming, even when it leads him to be ridiculous. His serious side is intriguing, but his playful side is book-boyfriend worthy.

Mara, for her part, holds her own with witty comebacks and dedication to learning all she can about magic, supernatural beings, and preparing for the impending battle with the group that killed her parents. I found both her moral compass and willingness to do what must be done without whining to be refreshing. She was a fun character to root for!

This book ends on a cliffhanger, cannot wait to find out what happens next!

4.5 STARS!!!
This was such a great paranormal read of good v's evil. The story follows Mara and her protector Theodore as they prepare for a battle of Enchanted v's Iniquitous and what a story it is. This story is filled with suspense from the very beginning and ends the same way. There were laughs, bickering, friendships and enemies between these characters and it was both amusing and frustrating at times. There were times I wanted them to act more mature than their age, but I loved the chemistry between Mara and Theo, they were so right for each other it was irritating. I felt bad for Winston but the heart wants what the heart wants. Adelaide was another character in this story that will have you smiling, she was too much but I loved her. I really enjoyed most of the characters in this story and this one ends with a huge cliffhanger that left me wanting and anticipating the next read. I also look forward to the growth of the characters in the next book because once they come into their full powers they will be unstoppable.
