I really liked book 1.. sadly this book is another one that falls under the second book in a series curse.

SpoilerI disliked Chad, really much, but also Stacey. You just broke up (did they break up) with Chad and then at the end you are already kissing another dude? Wait what? Did you even love/like Chad?


It was a boring book, the ending was ok, but felt much to hurried. Like the book had to be finished. All that build up, for nothing. :\

Im still going to give this book 2 stars but it was a DNF for me. Its not a bad book. I just couldn't get into or relate to the characters. I also am not a fan of mystery crime books and this one had a lot of that.

It is Stacey's senior year; one year after she saved her roommate, and best friend, Drea, from an untimely death. Now, back at Hillcrest Boarding School, she's having nightmares again and receiving strange letters with no name or return address. This time her nightmares are of ghosts of people who have been brutally murdered. But she's not the only one having nightmares. A transfer student, Jacob, is having nightmares of Stacey's murder, and he's determined to stop the killer. This was a decent sequel that introduced a character with the same powers as the protagonist. I liked their dynamic, but I was more interested in the secondary characters’ relationship.

Not my favorite of the series. for some reason i personally thought it seemed a little to mellow even when things were happening. a little spark there, but it felt lacking. But, i love the addition of Jacob. If anythign it was his appearance that made things more interesting.

 This one was definitely better than the first and I think I give that credit to Jacob - who is by far the best character to come out of this series so far. I like how the author kept him very secretive literally up until the last minute. I don't think there was really one thing I didn't like about him.

Now, as for everyone else...I like PJ, he's entertaining and always good for a laugh. Amber, I really just don't get. Chad - no comment. Drea - hmph...bitch and worst friend ever (I don't think my opinion of her is ever going to change).

The story line of this book felt a little more suspensful than the first book and I think because it had to deal with Stacey directly and her possible death. I still wish Stacey would grow a backbone though and actually stand up for herself.

Moving onto #3...

This book was amazing! I completely feel in love with this series. White Is for Magic is cleverly written and had me guessing until the very end. The author's use of language helped me imagine being in Stacey's shoes.

I liked how the author re wrote "Miss Mary Mack" for this story. It fit the story really good and it the descriptions in the book made it seem so real.

I love the character added to this series, Jacob.

White Is for Magic is one of the best books I've ever read.
I recommend it to anyone who loves suspense, a little romance and magic :)

I loved the addition of Jacob to this book. I love all of the main characters in this series so much. Can't wait to reread these.
