Duplicity is an amazing addition to the Spellbound Trilogy. Nikki Jefford added lots of twists to this sstory that made me want to know what would happen next.
Graylee found a host in Stacey Morehouse's body and is now known as Lee. Little does she know that Adrian has yet to fulfill his half of bringing Gray back. Soon all hell will break loose and Lee will be meeting her double.
Duplicity was just as good, if not better, than Entangled. The point of view switch was awesome considering the two Grays. Two sides were told and it was great getting to look at and compare Lee and Gray to see how Lee grew after taking over Stacey's body.
Overall, Duplicity left me excited for the third and final book, Enchantment. The ending was tied up well with only one or two questions to be answered. December can't get here soon enough. If you love witches, you should take a crack at this series!

{my thoughts} - This book picks up where the last one lets off. It's about Greylee Perez trying to find her place in the world as Stacey Morehouse/ Charlene Perez.
I enjoyed this book because it moved the storyline forward. It helped to better understand what had all taken place in book one. It uncovers key facts that improves the story and it has it's highs and lows when it comes to romance and action scenes. I believe that it is well written and worth a good read for all those who enjoy paranormal young adult fiction.
There isn't much about this book I didn't like. There were a few points where I was getting aggravated because I couldn't concentrate, because the plot was moving a bit slowly for my liking. However, I did enjoy the way the book had been laid out in terms of written because I am looking forward to reading the third book.
{reason for reading} - I have been wanting to read this series for quite sometime. I am enjoying it thus far. I am looking forward to starting book two in the near future.

Duplicity was a fantastic sequel to Entangled! The characters once again were fantastic and the story continued to be fresh and original. I personally love to wear good luck charms, so I loved the magic/talisman aspect! I also loved that one of my favorite movies was mentioned and there were quite a few funny moments, especially a certain a Lady Gaga moment!
Just a warning- Duplicity is a book that you really have to follow closely or you could become a tad mixed up, in terms of the characters! So, get in your comfy chair and tune out everything around you.
I loved Duplicity and I was left wanting more! Enchantment (Spellbound #3) is coming soon, and I can't wait!!

I think this was a great sequel to how the first book ended. I was so confused when I first started reading (But I think you are supposed to be), but I was happy with the way it ended.

A second book as good as the first one, as twisted even if it's not in the same way, I'm definitely a huge fan of Graylee and I can't wait to start the third one, let's see what Gray has for us this time :)

Even though this is a young adult read, I did find this very entertaining. The characters are well developed. Even though there are some parts that are a bit confusing, but i basically got it. overall this was a good read and I did like it...a lot

After dying, living in her sisters body, and then taking 8 months to get used to an entirely new body, Lee Perez is finally starting to relax into her semi normal, magically filled life. That is until Gray shows up. Now Lee, Raj and their families have to figure out if living with two Graylee's is possible. Their problems continue when the whole covens' powers start to go haywire and the gang is put in hot water when it comes out that Adrian Montez may be connected to all of the trouble.
Nikki Jefford has a knack for pulling at my heart strings. It seemed as though every time I decided on whether I was going to root for Gray or Lee, she wrote something to make me change my mind. I do feel however that that was Jefford's point. Perhaps the goal isn't to pick a side. It really did amaze me that the two Graylee's were so different. They weren't mimicking each other's phrases or being all cutesy look alike. No, they were fighting with each other... themselves? Oh whatever. Again, Jefford uses her characters and their situations to point out a seemingly obvious fact that I hadn't thought of in that way before. Think about it, if you were to find a copy of yourself, would you be thrilled, like "yay lets have a tea party"? NO. You would be threatened. In this case; Graylee is her own worst enemy.
And oh, poor Raj. Could you possibly imagine how hard his life must have been? It's kind of like when a woman asks her significant other which dress he likes better. He likes them both DUH, because they are both hers! The situation with Gray and Lee is similar. Does he like the old pre- dating Graylee or the new, had some experience with, Graylee? How can he possibly decide? He's only a teenager. Give the guy a break. Sheesh.
Adrian Montez was my absolute favorite thing about Duplicity. He has so many different sides and emotions that his presence kept this book spinning. He's not innately good or bad and that makes him an extremely realistic and dangerous character. He a young warlock trying to act too big for himself and I can't help but think that his crazy schemes and hunger for power are an outward expression of his own inner turmoil.
I found it perplexing and (in my rebel heart) awesome that there was so much school skipping in Duplicity. They're teen witches and warlocks so of course school skipping is a menial thing.
Now, in terms of things I didn't like. I really disliked that Graylee's mom wasn't too worried about Charlene. I realize that Charlene is an entirely unlikable character with, you know, being a crazy skank and all but, after the motherly concern we saw in book one, it was just hard to believe that there wasn't any for from her, in regard to Charlene, in Duplicity.
Again, Jefford has me keening for the next book. She really put some characters through the gauntlet in this one and I'm so very excited to see that book three holds even more of my favorite character, Adrian. I hope Enchantment is everything I want it to be.
