REVIEWS :**Please be aware that the spoilers in this review are real, so don't click on them unless you've read the book. There are mild spoilers in the visible text, but they're not anything that you haven't already guessed if you're already a fan of the series. And since three people have done this already, please DO NOT discuss spoilers in this book without spoiler-tagging your comments since you will absolutely ruin the book for people who haven't read the book yet. If you don't know how to do this, Review, March 15:As much as it literally hurts rating this book four stars, I have to do it. I will admit to anyone who wants to hear that I have pretty much been obsessively waiting for this ending since I read Hex Hall on my birthday two years ago. Really. I have waited so long, and as much as I want to say it was perfect it wasn't.Not to say it wasn't enjoyable. In fact, I absolutly love it. I love the humor, I love the twist in Part two. I adore Sophie, Archer, Jenna, and Cal, and I so wish Are you trying to make me insane, Ms. Hawkins? What happens if I die before this book comes out, huh? I will have been left with the cliffhanger of Demonglass as an ending. I hope you're happy with yourself.. . .Okay, okay, I am bordering on the melodramatic, I know. I just can't believe this book's release is so far away! That ending was evil. Not demon evil, but evil enough. I am Spellbound. Every time I read a book by a Rachel, it seems I am instantly captivated. Let me just recall some of these lovelies. Rachel E. Carter, Rachel Higginson and now Rachel Hawkins. Maybe it also has a lot to do with my awesome big sister being Rachel too.Now, now, let’s go to the review.As much as I would like to say this is the best book in the series, I could not do that because honestly, compared to the first two, this is not as great but...there’s a BIG BUT (no pun intended. Is someone having fun conspiring against me?2012?!Is this some kind of joke?Should I be laughing?Probably I should, but no, I will kill somebody and then I'll feel better.*Thinks about killing some certain author but what if that certain author has a fourth book? Who would write it then, right? Kills a mosquito instead*No, I don't fell better.I WANT Spell Bound!*Starts creating a diabolic plan to, somehow (time machine?), drop in 2012 and come back with the book* This whole series was the best re-read of this year. And I forgot everything that happened except for the first book. Which is actually good because I enjoyed more this way. However, I need to rate this one 3,5/5 for all the reasons stated below .“I think I might have seen pride in Dad’s eyes. Or maybe it was just a gleam of Why is my offspring so insane?” This may be slightly spoilerish.I still find it strange that the Casnoffs simply knew everything. I wanted/waited for someone to be a traitor I need this book soooooo bad! After that ultimate cliffhanger I was like what...what.....woah...no...that couldn't have been it....I actually kept on turning the page to see if there was a secret couple of pages that I was missing. WHY ,HAWKINS, WHYYY?!This is just cruel. :((( I think all of my favorite authors are conspiring against me to have totally awful cliffhangers and not publish their books for extended periods of time. SighhhEdit: Ohhh I do like the name of the book. Spell Bound! Woot! I want this like Sophie Mercer wants Archer Cross. (In my bed with me now! Because that's where I read books)The above is my pre-reading review. Liked it! I always need more Archer though. Wonder what the spin-off series is going to be about. (view spoiler)[I kinda hope the little Brannick girls. (hide spoiler)] PSA Unrelated to the book but important. Was it just me or was anyone else truly and utterly disappointed with this book? I really, really, really liked the first two, but this one just didn't do it for me - not because Sophie didn't choose the guy I was rooting for but becasue the whole book itself was pretty blah.First of all, I LOVED Sophie in the first two books. This one, not so much. She was just downright annoying. "Hellalicious? Duck, duck, demon? Brannicks, magic and hell, ohmy?" Really?!?! I know Hawkins was writing Sophie as D' Epic Battles Harry's version... Aragorn's version... Sophie's version...There are lots of reasons why I gave it two stars or what we called OK stars rather than the Liked stars.The Hex Hall has been highlighted or well known for its being fluffy, charming and funny. And that’s why I liked this series. This third book on the other hand is too darn dark to be neither these three. sigh!Initially I had problems with the "whole book". I never felt fully immersed with it. I felt like a ping pong Want it... Need it!!! I kept hitting next page on my kindle at the last page.... that's just plain old evil!!! >.< I should protest the next book, but I WANT IT!!! and for some reason, I'm rooting for Cal... Archer... I trust him as far as i can throw him.4/5/12- finished the book in one sitting.... I was suspious at first with the begining but...it all turned out beautifully besides one part....curse you Archer! Curse you! Lol (team cal always!!) I need this now!! "HOLY HELL WEASEL" ! Look at the purple on the cover! PRETTTTY. Want, want, want so much!___"Holy hell weasel" perfection. Spell Bound is faultless and a brilliant ending to the series. I could not have asked for more.Spell Bound picks up where we left off in Demon Glass... Well kind of. Sophie's powers have been sealed off and she now finds herself with the Brannicks. But they have a plan and Sophie is the key. Then, suddenly, Sophie finds herself back at Hex Hall and she'll Pre-review:Am I the only one who have grown to dislike Sophie and think she's becoming increasingly annoying during the first two books?Am I the only one to think Ms. Hawkins' supposed 'humor' and witty remarks are getting old? Am I the only one who thinks witty remarks are nice, but if they were spoon-fed to us in almost every single page of a novel, then I will have to say 'enough is enough'?In another words, I don't have much high hope for that third book of the series.Short Review:1.5 star.I Sophie finds herself on enemy territory. She doesn't know if Cal, her father and Archer made it out safely. She doesn't know what happend to Jenna. She doesn't know why her mother is with the Brannicks and she doesn't really know where she landed.The latter question is answered when she gets attacked by a redhead girl with green eyes.But when she finds her mother she discovers that all her life has been a lie. Her mother is one of the Brannicks, which makes her one of them as well.Her family.
