Jules is a Night Witch who practices dark magic. She has been blessed with the charms of Charisma and Seduction, but not the one charm that she covets the most, Allure. Her desire to stay young and beautiful has led Jules down a dangerous path of draining men for their youth. When Jules has the opportunity to drain a powerful Witch of her Allure, Jules uses everything within her reach including her friend Morgan to get what she wants.

This is a quick novelette in the Singularity series. Jules shows the dark side of the witches and the lengths that some witches are willing to go to for power. For a quick read, the characters are well developed. Jules' cutthroat nature shines as a dark witch and her friendship with Morgan is interesting. With a deliciously evil twist at the end, this makes a fun, witchy Halloween read.… (lisätietoja)

Skye is witch with the charm of True Sight, among other, which makes it easier for her to sense the presence of another witch. Skye is called by the Sisterhood to use her gift in Seattle. This means moving away from her home in London and her movie-star mother. The Sisterhood needs Skye and her charms to track down the ‘Singularity’ a very powerful witch who may not know the extent of her charms and has the ability to mask her signature. Skye is planted in Greenwood High to be on the lookout for the Singularity, since witches come into their power at fifteen and the sisterhood has been searching for her for two years. As soon as Skye arrives on campus, she meets Drake. Drake is a little shy, but charming and a perfect gentleman. Skye shouldn’t be getting involved with boys while she is on a mission, but Drake might be the key to finding the Singularity.

I found myself liking this book more than I thought I would. The Skye and Drake felt very real and acted like normal high school kids that I would have been friends with, even though Skye is a witch. Neither of them are perfect and they both have insecurities. Though, there were some typical Young Adult trends, such as no parents present and never actually seeming to be in school, at least there were reasons for each. I liked that the story was told from the changing points of view of Skye and Drake; it made for a fast-paced read and gave me insight from each character about the other. I also thought that the explanation of witchcraft was pretty unique, not just magic, but more like a part of science that has not been fully understood by everyone yet. I was fully intrigued by the mystery of the Singularity as Skye and Drake try to track her down. I really did not have a clue of who it might be until near the end. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series.… (lisätietoja)
