Have you ever had that unreachable crush that you would do anything to get the attention of? What if a simple spell fell into your hands that promised to make them yours? Would you try it? These are the questions Sabina found herself asking when she heard of an Everlasting Spell. Her long-time crush on Justin, the jock every girl fancied, was finally within her reach. But was it everything she imagined it would be, or would the spell take a dark turn?

The Everlasting Spell is a short read that tells a very intriguing story. We’ve all had that lover we desired, but were out of our reach. This story explores what would happen if there was a possible way to make them fall in love with you. A love spell with no antidote: would you take the risk?

Author Kristin Ravelle creates a very relatable character and story that will keep you intrigued. Filled with great sensory details, and just the right combination of romance and mystery- this book will keep you on your toes. When the love trance starts to be a bit overwhelming, how will Sabina escape her stalker boyfriend? What can be done?

The Everlasting Spell, could definitely use more length, and more background on the spell-casting culture itself  Ravelle throws the reader into the story before actually developing a reader and character connection. It fails to show why Sabina and other girls became involved with it. I would say the average person would not try out witchcraft on a whim, so what made Sabina do it? These kinds of character details and development would make this novel much stronger. Great book for the beach, or a plane ride. I would definitely recommend this book to Romance lovers looking for a quick read.

I give “The Everlasting Spell” 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Best,
