Marianne Curley has written a timeless love story. The love of two teenagers, innocent and uncertain. Do you remember the first time you fell in love? Do you remember how insecure you felt, asking yourself questions: should I hold his/her hand? Should I kiss him/her? Should I tell him/her I love him/her? Well, this book has all of those feelings, emotions, and events. It also has magic.
Kate is a witch, she has been raised in the craft. Her powers are not very strong, but she can reach inside your head and get a "feel" for your emotions. She cannot read your thoughts, but can tell if you are happy, sad, angry... and so on.
Kate's grandmother knows the ways of old magic. She is very strong, some call her a healer. She runs the local occult shop, but only the true witches know that's what it is. To everyone else they sell a little bit of this and a little bit of that. You need something odd, that's where you go.
Jarrod is the new kid, he's a bit klutzy, actually he makes Bella Swan of Twilight look like a graceful ballerina. He could fall off of a chair that he was strapped onto, tightly. Despite his lack of coordination he is very pleasing to the eyes. This is what gives him an in with the "popular" crowd.
Kate will not have this though, for she knows he is special and in danger. Jarrod has no idea he comes form a very long line of witches and they have been cursed. But, with Kate and her grandmothers help he must travel back in time to try to fix the curse placed upon his family centuries ago.
Can they travel back in time? If they can how will they make it back home? And during there time in the past how will they defeat the evil sorcerer who has placed the curse on his family?
This is a young adult book and is a very easy read. It definitely has a lot of innocence to it, not dark at all. I would call it fluffy with quite a bit of suspense. I enjoyed my time with this book.
