Praise for The Teen
Wytche Saga:
“Spell
Check is a great story for the young adult or the young at heart. I enjoyed the
vicarious experience of falling in love, dealing with secrets, and working out
best friend issues.” ~ Long and Short Reviews
"A
fantastic YA paranormal read, reminiscent of the film "Practical
Magic"! Spell Struck combines quirky but fun teen characters dealing with
new schools, romance, and family problems, with magic, and more serious topics
like suicide and kidnapping." ~ InD’tale
Magazine, Crowned Heart review
“Edge of your seat? Check. Magic around every
corner? Check. Teen angst? Check. Unputdownable? Definitely. Quick tip-make
sure you read the first three books before starting Spell for Sophia. They
provide a ton of great backstory and will make everything a lot more
understandable, and without a doubt enhance your enjoyment of this book as well
as the entire series.” ~ Carra at Making It Happen blog

A quick introduction
to Spell Check (The Teen Wytche Saga #1)
Two girls, one guy,
and a spell book — what could possibly go wrong?
Blurb
Bullies. A secret crush. A traitorous friend.
First year of high school isn’t supposed to be an emotional minefield. A photojournalist father isn’t supposed to die in war, and no one should cast a binding love spell on her best friend’s secret crush. And yet…
Halloween looms and so does the anniversary of Evie’s father’s death. She needs to pull herself together or she’ll lose her position as Yearbook Photo Editor. Even worse, Evie will lose Jordan, her secret crush, if she can’t stop her friend Parvani from casting a love spell on him. Despite a falling out, Evie never forgot Jordan. Now they are lab partners and the chemistry between them definitely sparks. Parvani possesses a brimstone-hissing spell book and plans to cast the spell by Halloween. To save Jordan, Evie must join forces with Salem, the school goth.
The clock is ticking. Can Evie get her mojo back in time to check this spell?

Excerpt
About ten minutes into class,
while Mr. Esenberg wrote on the board, I heard Jordan slide his feet under my
desk. My breath wedged in my throat as the tips of his size nine
high-performance sneakers nudged the heels of my shoes. Could the girl in front
of me hear my heart thudding? Should I move my feet forward?
My feet tingled and refused to
move. A blush blazed across my cheeks. I struggled to pay attention to Mr.
Esenberg without making eye contact. Forty minutes passed, the bell blared, and
I had no idea what had transpired. Hopefully, my notes will make sense. I think I took notes.
Jordan slid his feet back and
thudded his book closed. We both bent down and reached for our backpacks. His
leaned against mine. Our hands brushed and our heads were so close I could
smell his herbal shampoo.
Students walked past us. I’m
sure some of them were talking to each other or flipping open their cell
phones. But it all faded away along with the smell of chalk, highlighters, and
sweat. Everything receded except the warmth of Jordan’s skin, his cinnamon
gum-scented breath, and the heart-stopping rush sprinting up my arm.
“Evie?”
We jerked apart. Seeing
Parvani in the doorway looking hurt and shocked snapped my senses into hyper
focus. Conversations sounded extra loud. Colors seemed too bright. It felt like
a movie had started, full blast, in a hushed theater.
