Bewitching Season by Marissa Doyle

Bewitching season is a sweet book about twins persey and pen leland, twin girls in Victorian England (one of my favorite era's to read about) about to have their first season out in society. This story is mostly Perey's story. Both girls come from a magical background and are trained in secret as witches from their beloved governess Ally. Persey isn't looking forward to her first season at all, and wishes she could stay home with a book and her magic. This book is filled with magic, romamce, and a mystery concerning the future ruler of England, Queen Victoria. With their brother Charles, the twins must fight time to save their governess from her kidnappers, foil a plot against the crown, and keep Persey from making a huge mistake concerning her love life. This book is so good because it has so many elements that draw you in and i absolutely love this time period. This book has a sequel, Betraying Season, which i'm reading right now. I'll review as soon as I'm done!

Perfect Chemistry is a book about Brittany, the golden girl who seems to have it all, and Alex, a member of the Mexican gang in Chicago. Both lived in different worlds but are thrust together when they are forced to become chemistry partners. Both can't stand each other at first, but slowly, the walls they built around themselves fall away and they can't deny the attraction between them. But will they be able to be together? This book is GREAT! and a perfect story of how love can beat all odds. There are some really tender moments and you root for Brittany and Alex every step of the way. I've told other friends about this book and all have loved it! Read it, and i promise you'll love it!

Sea Change by Aimee Friedman

This is a book about Miranda, a 16 yr old who is great at science but not so good at putting herself out there. She was planning on spending her summer in New York, but those plans fly out the window when the grandma she never knew dies and leaves her mother her home on Selkie Island, off the shore of Georgia. Miranda finds herself on Selkie Island, Helping her mother sort through her late grandma's things, thrust into a world of parties, boys, and friendships. There is one boy, Leo, who captures her attention and draws her in. He threatens all her beliefs, but she can't help getting closer to him. This book was awesome! Its well written and the setting is totally perfect for a summer of romance and mystery. This is a great beach read, or wish-I-were-at-the-beach read :) Leo was soooo amazing, and I thought Miranda was a really great heroine, partially because I could relate to her quiet shyness. Two thumbs up!!
