Emma was an incredible protagonist - fresh, fun and funny, smart yet vulnerable, witty yet kind. The best of everything. And dark, mysterious, sexy Brendan who seems to have such a secret is her perfect counterpart. The chemistry between them is perfect - a slow simmer that makes you breathless for what you hope comes next. Cisco and Ashley and all the rest of the characters were well rounded, and we the readers have an actual reason for liking some of them, while others we would happily kick in the face. All in all Spellbound was a sweet sexy story about trusting in yourself and trusting the people who love you, with a bit of magic thrown in to keep things interesting :) 
 Ummmm. Also. Am I the only one who is meanly amused that Anthony's nickname, instead of the expected "Tony", is, of all things, "Ant"? Foreshadowing right there, y'all ;)
