Spell Bound - Rachel Hawkins Oh man. I don’t know if there are words for all my emotions right now. I thought I had collected all my feelings, but maybe I’ll just start sobbing all over again while I’m writing this.I’m dead serious when I say a book has not made me cry this much in four years. So Rachel Hawkins has just joined the band of authors who are part of this club called “Writers-Who-Own-Parts-Of-Thalia’s-Soul-And-Abuse-It-As-We-See-Fit”, because…wow. This book is not for the faint of heart. While it wasn’t as well-written as the previous two, and was much more predictable (in most aspects), the way it made me feel was just…out of the park. Moreso than, like I said, anything I’ve read in four years. So I really have to applaud Hawkins, and I’m definitely glad I was home alone when I finished the book (although the reading out loud thing wasn’t working so well, since there were these huge, wrenching sobs coming out of me whenever I tried to speak). A stunning end to a stunning series.Read more?http://thaliasbooks.tumblr.com/post/19558422170/spell-bound-review
