Have Faith In Me

Yesterday I wrote I was going to starting reading the The Scorch Trials but I ended up going to bed super late and decided to re-read another book instead. I chose Spellcaster because was the last book I finished.
Moving on to the point of this, I talked on some previous post that Spellbound and Spellcaster have playlists but when I finished the second book I forgot all about it and didn't checked which songs belonged to the list and last night I did check.
Great songs! There's probably my favourite Paramore song there which makes me happy because "plays" during a nice scene.
But the best part was discovering a A Day To Remember song - Have Faith In Me - among the others. I love that song and also "can be heard" on a cool scene.


I had completely forgotten this song. I'm stupid. So now clearly my obsession returned and I'm very thankful with it ;)

Cara Lynn Shultz - Spellcaster

Hello!

Finally a new my-way-book-review. You know I don't say too much, in fact I try to not say anything because I don't like spoilers.
This not-really-a-book-review will feature Spellcaster written by Cara Lynn Shultz.


Findin your eternal soulmate - easy. 
Stopping a true-love-hungry evil - not so much...

After breaking a centuries-old romantic curse, Emma Connor is (almost) glad to get back to normal problems. Although... It's not not easy dealing with jealous cliques and gossip that rule her exclusive Upper East Side prep, even for a sixteen-year-old newbie witch. Having the most-wanted boy in school as her eternal soul mate sure helps ease the pain - especially since wealthy, rocker-hot Breandan Salinger is very good staying irresistibly close...

But something dark and hungry is using Emma and Breandan's deepest fears to reveal damaging secrests and destroy their trust in each other. And Emma's crash course in uber-spells may not be enough to keep them safe... or stop an inhumam force bent on making their unsuspected power its own.

Claddagh Ring

Hi!

In Spellbound, the book written by Cara Lyinn Shultz, there's a part where Brendan gives a Claddagh ring to Emma I was totally "what on earth is a Claddagh ring?!". As uncultured as I am, I've never heard about anything like it. I finished the book and forgot at all about the ring with a strange name but today I was just checking what I've been reading for the last months when I ended up re-reading Spellbound and now, yes, I googled it.
I found a website called claddaghring.com which sells these famous rings. I searched around and they are as I imagined while reading the book. Although the "classic" model is not my favourite. I don't like the hands involving the heart however I found one I thought was really cute.

Spellbound + Spellcaster -> Cara Lynn Shultz

Hey!

I didn't have a book to read during these last couple of tough weeks, which was a torment. I must tell that when I'm reading a book the days pass faster. That's something I like.

Well then, I read Spellbound by Cara Lynn Shultz in less then 24 hours.


It was definitely a non-stop-reading-book. Because I could not stop. It's super addictive. Super addictive.

It's basically about a girl who have had a pretty bad life and goes living with her aunt in New York. There she meets Brendan, a boy that she almost instantly falls for. Later she discovers she's a reincarnation of a woman who was killed because fell in love with a upper crust men. But every time their reincarnation meet she dies due to the curse. Now, she's the woman and Brendan is the man.
"What's a girl to do when meeting The One means she's cursed to die a horrible death?"

The book could end with this one. But there'll be a second - Spellcaster:


I didn't find anything about the storyline but I'm hoping that until the release day some kind of preview will come out.

The cover says "She found true love... but can she keep it?". 
Honestly if it is to get worse it's not worth it. 
It's such a lovely love story that sort of "hurts" if they don't end together or somehow somewhere in between they fight and break up. If that is what the second book will be about... They break up and are the entire book apart just to be together in the end, thanks but no, thanks. Some people online were saying that... I hope from the bottom of my heart it won't be like that.

There's an amazing playlist during the first book. The author has a pretty good taste, I must say. Blink-182? My Chemical Romance? Paramore? The Who? Seems like something I'd write haha
You can buy Spellbound's playlist on iTunes, here, and be friends with Brendan on Facebook, here. Which is funny.
Spellcaster has a playlist as well, hereVersaEmerge, A Day To Remember, New Found Glory, The Academy Is..., Forever The Sickest Kids, Blink-182 and Paramore again. Seriously?! ;D
