Hallo ihr Lieben, erstmal vielen vielen Dank für die zahlreichen Nominierungen für den "The Versatile Blogger" - Award! Es freut mich zu sehen, dass so vielen von euch mein Blog gefällt. Ich hab in letzter Zeit sehr fleißig gelesen, weil ich mich erst nächste Woche mit meinem Prof zur Anmeldung der Diplomarbeit meet, and by that time down as much as possible will have the SUB :-) here are my (not very enthusiastic) Comment on "Witches Kiss":
_______________________________________________________________________________
"time to admit it at last: there really is magic, and she takes control over our lives."
The young Holly Cathers lost in a tragic accident and their parents is now living with her aunt in Seattle. There, they must know a secret Before her parents always wanted to protect: Holly comes from a family of powerful witches. When they would confuse not enough, she also meets the mysterious Jeraud Deveraux, to whom she feels drawn to it irresistibly, and twisted his head. But what Holly does not know is the beginning of time, the two families Witcher Cathers Deveraux and are enemies to the death. And the battle for supremacy of the witches circle rages to the present time ...

My opinion
Witches Kiss "is the first volume a trilogy about witchcraft, love and intrigue and has something of a soap opera: the characters and the plot, although cliched and predictable, but still has something to yourself that you get stuck and then I watch. Maybe it's the relationships in "Witches Kiss," in which each and every desire diligently intrigues are spun. Or the fact that all the protagonists of course look incredibly good, which is also continually emphasized. How could it be otherwise in this literary mix of OC and Charmed, the assault by teenagers at Pape-styled magic book.
Original characters you meet here hardly. The Villain is, of course, incredibly good-looking and evil to the core, the young main culprit seems initially weak and naive, proves in the course of history but more and more strength, and her flock is troubled by the dark family secrets and wants to approach let his love so not too close to the . Did I mention that he also looks incredibly good? No?
Okay, joking aside. Much is very cliché, but the story itself has actually read quite well, especially the magic rituals, I found interesting. However, it would be better to make a movie out of it as a book. Not for nothing is my Nancy Holder known as one of the authors that the series "Buffy - the Vampire Slayer" has written several books. And unfortunately, the tension has evaporated towards the end, the plot seemed jittery and then lubricated.
alternately in the present and in the past, the interweaving of the families Deveraux and Cathers discovered and how they try even today to send using their magic arts, the other family based. That the book is clearly designed for teenagers, I found it very brutal in parts, if for their black magic The human head is chopped off or animals be walled alive in walls. No age limit from 14 years seems to me this makes sense.
addition bloodthirsty rituals and perfidious plans expect this otherwise schmaltzy sense descriptors (in particular, caught me the inflationary use of the word desire ) and a poor love story, which you the two lovers just do not buy into
my point. On the one side, the brutal history of witches horror, on the other hand, unfolds an emotional low Love story. Had the story not so very cliché laden, they would have beaten me, perhaps more in its spell. So I'm still thinking if I the next two volumes to really do that too. I will probably make it more likely.
