4 Cranky StarsI was apprehensive when I started with this series. Reading the synopsis about the book, I was a little put off because it sounded like a ghost story. I am not into ghost stories. I was pleasantly surprised that is was more than just ghosts. I’m afraid if it would have been what I feared it was, I would have stopped reading it. But thankfully it turned out to be something completely different. I like when books surprise me.
Leah, the lead female in this story, is your average 21 year old auburn haired college student. She comes from a not so lovely family. Her mother despises her and blames her for the death of her father. She is utterly alone in the sense of family, but she is determined to make it on her own. Her life was going great until she got stuck on an assignment with the feared Brandon Morris. Her life became complicated the day of her 21st birthday with the sudden appearances of these ghostly images and the reunion with Brandon on an assignment the two of them wanted nothing to do with. I love the personality of Leah and her conflict between doing what is right in her heart and struggling to do what is expected of her. The self-turmoil is easily relatable and something many young adults in her position are faced with. Especially the peer pressure when it comes to bullying and having to make the right decision to protect oneself but also protect someone that is faced with being bullied.
Brandon Morris, long time ex friend of Leah and the epitome of gothic. His long black hair adds to his sexy blue eyes and pale skin giving him the edge that bring a different light to the term goth. His appearance and his inner personality are two different characteristics you would think go together. Brandon has an outer shell he has crafter to protect himself from the constant bullies he has lived with since his early childhood, but deep down he is tender, kind, loving, and big hearted. This is what I love most about his character. His ability to understand and forgive is amazing. He was best friends with Leah as childhood friends but they grew apart when bullying became so overwhelming that Leah was faced with the same problems. In an effort to protect herself she abandons Brandon and he understand and forgives her because he cares too much for her to be hurt in the ways he was hurting. What a fabulous character this author created with Brandon. Things get complicated though when the two are reunited for a class project.
I was excited to discover there was more to this ghost story than being haunted. Sadly it took 65 percent of the book before it got anywhere near interesting on the supernatural scale. I thought for the whole first half that maybe it was just a regular love story that blossoms back between old friends. It was slow to pick up interest and I wish that the author spent a little less time going to behavioral classes and picked up the pace a bit more with the plot.
The one major problem I had with this story was the over use of name calling. It was like Brandon and Leah were constantly saying one another’s names. It became a bit redundant. I also don’t understand the random insert of vampires into this story. It was a bit odd and they didn’t fit. Maybe it fits in later, but for me the lack of supporting character development outside of Brandon and Leah was disappointing and the oddity of vampires in this world doesn’t add up.
I was originally going to give this book a 3 star rating, but changed my mind towards the end to give it 4 stars since the ending picked back up to pull my interest in for the next book in the series. Let’s hope book two isn’t as slow as book one.

Enchanter The Giver of Life Trilogy Book One eBook Kristy Centeno Reviews
For the longest time all of my reading devices were primarily anything and everything to do with the paranormal. Angels, demons, shape shifters, you name it and I was reading it. Then I went on sort of a sabbatical from the paranormal. I hadn't really thought much about it until I read the blurb for Enchanter. The second I saw it I knew I had to read it, and I'm so glad I did because it's a terrific story with a swoon worthy book boyfriend.
I will tell you straight out, Brandon Morris isn't my usual book boyfriend. He's got long black hair that goes past his shoulders, intensely blue eyes and from the sound of him, I think the word "emo" may have come to mind. But Brandon Morris is so much more than that. He's the strong silent type and he's definitely the brooding kind. He's also smart, loyal and has a muscular, inked up body that had me thinking very naughty thoughts. Seriously, scenes of Brandon just kissing Leah made me weak in the knees.
I'll come back to Brandon later, because I need to introduce another important character, Leah Parker. Leah is a girl that has had a very sad and traumatic past. She suffered a tragic loss on her eighth birthday that pretty much set the path for the rest of her life. For some reason her mother hates her and she can't understand why.
Odd things have always to Leah, but her story really starts on her twenty first birthday when things start to get even stranger. She hears voices calling out for her help and she starts to meet unusual "people" all on a day that should be a happy one.
To make her birthday even more unpleasant, she finds out her professor has paired her up with Brandon Morris (swoon) to work on a class project that's worth a huge chunk of her grade. Now, I'm swooning because I read the book. Leah and her friends are not swooning over Brandon. As hot as he is, Brandon is not a very desirable partner.
What makes matters worse is Leah and Brandon have a past. They were neighbors and friends as children. As they grew older, classmates started bullying Brandon because he was different. Leah is not one of his bullies, nor did she defend him. Needless to say, Brandon isn't thrilled about being Leah's partner either. They try to get out of it, but they can't.
As they meet to work on their project, the two get passed their anger and Leah gets passed the guilt she feels over not being kinder to Brandon when they were younger. During this time their attraction to each other grows and even though they try to fight it.....they kiss. I know, I know...just a kiss? It was a kiss that turned me into a puddle and wanting more.
Just so you know their project is not the only thing that brings them together. They discuss their pasts and Brandon finds out about all the crazy that's going on in Leah's life now. Of course being Brandon, he wants to find a way to help her.
And then the paranormal truly kicks in and I loved it. I couldn't really figure out the voices and what exactly Leah was and Kristy Centeno puts it all together in the end. Not before she broke my heart with something I hope, hope, hope can be changed. I was so obsessed with Brandon I wrote a whole new ending in my head and now I will hope for the best.
If you haven't guessed by now Enchanter, ends in a cliffhanger. There are so many questions to be answered and I can't imagine how this will all come together. The series will be a trilogy and I CAN'T WAIT for the next book to be published!!
Four supernatural stars for Enchanter. And please hurry! I need more!
