Description:
After her clique's bullying
causes a classmate's suicide, Kat Grey trades the vicious world of the
California "in crowd" for the chance to become a better person in
Massachusetts. But when she steps in to protect a classmate from being bullied,
Kat sparks a war with Hannah, Milton Academy's resident Queen Bee.
Kat's courage and compassion
attract the attention of Blaze Ward, Hannah's ex-boyfriend. As they fall in
love, Kat discovers that Blaze is more than the boy next door. He's a warlock.
He is also the leader of an in-crowd like no other - the Brotherhood, five young
warlocks charged with defending witches and humanity from a demonic adversary
named Seth.
Kat challenges Blaze to become a
better man and leader while he helps her find redemption as she makes it her
mission to stop bullying at Milton. But when Hannah teams up with Seth to
destroy her, Kat becomes a hostage in the age-old war between the Brotherhood
and their greatest enemy. Saving Kat will require more than Blaze's strength
and skill; it will mean breaking one of his kind's most sacred laws. Blaze will
have to make a choice: his honor or Kat's life.
My Thoughts :
Let's just start off by saying I've read this book twice already. Enough said, right? This is one of those books , for me, that I want to sit everyone I know down and force them to read it because I know they are going to love it. Plus, Kat isn't a witch.. It's a change to have the main female character be 'normal' (okay, there is the twilight series but I'm talking witches here).
In her effort to reform herself from the Queen Bee of her old clique, Kat finds herself across the country in a town where she has become the protector instead of the bully. It's amazing watching her transformation and feeling her real remorse over how she was before. She is definitely a changed girl.
I absolutely fell in love with Blaze, not only is he the hot jock from school.. he also has these amazing abilities and the responsibility of being the son of the First. A prince like figure of their kind. When Kat first meets him, she thinks he's just another popular jock figure until she uncovers all that there is to him. In her quest for redemption, she helps him also become a better person when she sees him act a bit like her old clique.
The romance between the two is endearing. The closeness of the Brotherhood (a group of teenage boys/warlocks tasked with fighting the Dark ones and defending everyone from Seth) is refreshing to see. In school they are normal teenage boys, but at night they seem to mature & work together as a great team.
I was thoroughly pleased with The Coven and personally can't wait to get my hands on more of the series! I hope you'll give it a chance, I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed !
