Now in My Bookbag: Mika Between the Veil, by Anne Violet

Although still part of the Enchant Me Series, Book #3 bears little resemblance to books one and two. The only things shared with the previous books are Druidism, and poor punctuation and sentence structure.

The protagonist in this book, Mika, is a fringe character from Enthrall Me. This book is much more imaginative, in my opinion. Unexpected love, vengeful ghosts, loss, and acceptance combine to weave an emotional story. It is responsible for a few tears shed by me. This story gives me more of the feels than the other two combined.

It is unfortunate that Violet’s punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure remain unrefined. All these mistakes take away from my reading enjoyment. With a good proofing, this could be a really good book. 3 1/2 stars

Now in My Bookbag: Enthrall Me, by Anne Violet

This is an interesting story about magic, facing the ghosts of the past, saving love, and fighting darkness within and without.

Where Enchant Me is told from Alexis’ point of view, this book is told from three different points of view. Christian is more the protagonist in Enthrall Me. Author Anne Violet also includes Nicolas’ point of view for part of the story, enabling me the opportunity to see the growth of his character. Very little of this story encompasses Alexis’ point of view. I think there is missed opportunity there.

As in Enchant Me, the many punctuation and sentence structure problems in this book make it a difficult read for me. I do wish that Violet would submit the books for further proofing.

Otherwise, I like the story, and I like the characters. Violet shows some imagination here. It is a good young adult book. 3 stars

Now in My Bookbag: Enchant Me, by Anne Violet

This is an interesting story about family secrets, magic, a scary stalker, and falling in love. The basic premise is a little familiar. Alexis, the protagonist comes of age only to find that there is a family secret that affects her. Her soulmate, Christian, has secrets of his own. There are also unique elements that set this story apart from similar ones. Author Anne Violet infuses a lot of imagination into this book.

The many punctuation and sentence structure problems in this book make it a difficult read for me. I am always particularly bothered by grammar and punctuation mistakes.

Otherwise, I like the story, and I like the characters. It is a good young adult book. 3 stars
