The Serpent's Spell (Great Plains Teen Fiction) ReviewReviewed by Regan Windsor for Reader Views (9/06)Welcome to Gruffud's Academy, where the curriculum includes numeristics, verbology, and botanicals and the students learn to play games such as snapdragon; a battle of wits between shadows. The academy is located in a mystical pocket of Winnipeg in the secret city of Middlegate.
Wil arrives at Middlegate from Toronto with nothing except the clothes on his back, his snake Esme, and the medallion and ring his grandmother has given him. A fire has caused her death and he is sent to live with a set of aunts and cousin he was until now unaware of. Their existence, however, turns out to be the first of many family secrets Wil is soon to discover.
As Wil and his cousin Sophie begin the school year, a cloud of mystery surrounds the slaughter of hundreds of snakes in the nearby pits of Narcisse. While on a fieldtrip to see the snakes, Wil and Sophie stumble upon a discovery which begins a magical journey of friendship and adventure.
Things soon begin to turn dangerous as they search for the significance of Wil's medallion and its implication in the mysterious circumstances that ensue. With kidnappings, sorcery, serpents, and shadow duals the reader is left breathless with anticipation.
"The Serpent's Spell" is a delight for all readers! Rae Bridgman adds sorceress zeal with a numeristic table of contents, Latin verbiage, and sketchings that bring the magic of snakes and sorcery alive. In a novel destined to be the next Harry Potter of fantasy, Bridgman delivers a festively imaginative tale. As this first adventure ends, the reader is left with one key question....when will the next adventure begin?

The Sixth Book of Moses ReviewThis should really be part of the 7th book I think... as it's only 5 pages. However the quality is pretty good and the seals transfer nicely to the Kindle format. Good job.The Sixth Book of Moses OverviewTHE Sixth Book of Moses.MOSES' MAGICAL SPIRIT-ART.Translated from the Ancient HebrewThe Seven Seals of the SpiritsMAGIA ALBA ET NIGRA UNIVERSALIS SEU NECROMANTIAThe Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses are two grimoires allegedly dictated to Moses along with the Torah (the first five books of Moses).these books contain numerous allegedly magical spells used to summon spirits to do the will of the conjourer. Although these are allegedly Kabbalistic in nature, there is very little or no influence of Kabbala within the pages. The texts are allegedly translated from a text written in the Cuthan-Samaritan language, a language considered extinct since the 12th century. No manuscripts older than 1849 are to be found, and the claimed origin must be regarded pseudepigraphic and spurious.5 pages with illustrations of the seals.

Space and Time Books ReviewHow refreshing! What a clever perspective to view the world from the spirit of the store and books therein. But it was over too soon and I wanted more.Space and Time Books Overview"Anyone who loves bookstores [will] enjoy "Space and Time Books" by Melissa Yuan-Innes, a lyrical tale with a very different central character."--sfrevu.comIn a world where two independent bookshops close every week, Space and Time Books takes its fate into its own hands. Well, it's a bookstore. It doesn't actually have hands. But it does have a Book of Spells. And, like anyone else, Space and Time Books receives three wishes to save itself...

Garden Spells ReviewWhen I read this book I got a little suprise- It is not a Pagan writing, per se. Although some of the charms and spells invoke the moon as Selene, most of the material is Christian. Nevertheless, it is an interesting little book and gives some great hints about attracting and seeing faeries.

There is a very extensive section on the meanings of flowers given in a a bouquet. Also the lore on some Angels, their planets, and their flowers.

I would say that this book is a good starting point for anyone wishing to enhance their garden by magick... but definately not a great source for much in the way of garden magick.Garden Spells Overview

Traitor to the Crown: A Spell for the Revolution ReviewMy only quibble about this book is that it's the middle book in a trilogy. In truth, it reads like the middle of one book, not a trilogy; I think that after I get the third book I will read them all together.
I'm hoping Finlay will write more set in this world; I really like the historical details and clever ways that he manages to insert actual known historical figures.
A Spell for the Revolution picks up where The Patriot Witch left off, and while I felt that the beginning was a bit slow (mostly the rehash of what happened before) the introduction of a new villain and his henchman kept me reading all afternoon and into the evening until I (unhappily) finished.
I'm not going to spoil the plot for anyone, but if you like historical fantasy and are interested in the American Revolution, this is definitely a keeper!Traitor to the Crown: A Spell for the Revolution Overview

The Gypsy Casts a Spell ReviewI read this realitively new author's first book (Cera's Place) and went searching for another one written by her. I found "The Gypsy Casts a Spell".
I'm happy to say that I love this short story! The characters are great - romance & happy endings - this book delivers both. My only disappointment was that its too "short". (but I guess that's what a short story is!)The Gypsy Casts a Spell OverviewVadoma Taits has the “sight" and has seen her own death. On what she thinks is her last day on earth, her cousin stabs a man during the annual autumn fair. In her remaining hours, Vadoma sets out to save him from the gallows. When the village's Marquis rebuffs her pleas for mercy, she turns to desperate measures.

The Camelot Spell (Grail Quest Trilogy, Book 1) ReviewFourteen-year-old squire, Gerard, is utterly disappointed that he has not been chosen to accompany the knights on the Quest for the Holy Grail. After all, it is his wish to prove himself as a great hero who is brave, and ready for anything that life has to throw at him. However, he never realized that he would have the chance to prove his bravery this soon. For, on the eve of the Quest for the Holy Grail, at a large feast celebrating the momentous occasion, every adult in King Arthur's castle, in the midst of their filling meals, falls into a deep sleep - an enchanted sleep - and nothing will wake them. Now it is up to Gerard, who has spent every waking hour of his life dreaming of becoming one of the prestigious Knights of the Round Table; along with the help of Ailis, a maidservant who has been his friend through thick and thin over the years; and Newt, a rough and tumble stable boy, to make their way through various obstacles - including an ugly bridge troll, a dark and powerful witch who wants nothing than to take down King Arthur and the realm of Camelot, and a scheming dragon - in an attempt to save their home from the evil that will stop at nothing to have its way. And, in the meantime, make a name for themselves, and prove that, even though they are children, they have the strength to save the kingdom that has given them shelter all these years.
Over the past couple of years, I have become very interested in Arthurian history, which is why I was ecstatic to learn that Laura Anne Gilman's GRAIL QUEST was being released. THE CAMELOT SPELL is an enchanting series debut that mixes the history of Arthurian legend, with fantastical elements to create the ultimate thrill ride through adventure and magic. The characters all bring about their own perspectives on the situation they have been throw into - from Ailis' quick-thinking, and wit; to Gerard's trained hand with the sword; and Newt's ofttimes cynical thoughts. THE CAMELOT SPELL offers a bit of something for everyone, male or female, history buff, or fantasy fan; and will leave everyone craving the sequel MORGAIN'S REVENGE. An enchanting, keeps-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat read that will be devoured in one sitting.
