Spellbound by Kelley Armstrong
3.0
The Otherworld series as a whole has been very enjoyable, and Spellbound is an interesting addition. It is unusual though as most of the books stand alone reasonably comfortably as separate stories even if the narrator is the same. Spellbound genuinely doesn't.
The narrator is Savannah Levine. The story picks up where it left off in Waking the Witch with her dealing with a variety of issues, most particularly a witch hunter and the apparent loss of her powers. Then, whilst she's trying to find a solution to these, a new problem crops up: an organisation of supernaturals who want to renounce secrecy and take their 'rightful place' in charge of the world.
Whilst Spellbound is a good story and some minor points get resolved in it, a lot is left hanging. Rather than a separate story, it is really the connecting book between the events of Waking the Witch and Thirteen. As a result, it's hard to feel completely satisfied with it. Hopefully the next book will draw everything else together.
