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 :)

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!!

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.
