{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. ( )

Thank you Nikki for letting me review Duplicity! It was a very nice continuation to Entangled, and I really enjoyed it!

The writing style was once again entertaining, making me want to read until the end of the book. And to yearn for more after I was finnished. I can honestly not wait for Enchantment, Book 3 to come out, so I could have a closure for Graylee and Charlene's story.

So what can I say? Duplicity took my beloved characters, Gray and Raj, on an entirely new level. They grew into their roles and became better people.

What surprised me was that Gray #2 was both similar and different from her other version, who now lives in Stacy Morehouse's body. I thought that they'd act and think the same, but no. It was like Gray #2 had stayed back in time, while Gray #1 had evolved into a new person. It was pretty awesome to read about them.

Raj made me want to punch him at one time, though to be honest, I totally understood him.

Oh well, I won't reveal anything else, if you're curious, read the book for yourself. :) ( )

Book Info: Genre: Fantasy/Paranormal
Reading Level: Young Adult
Recommended for: Fans of the first book, those who enjoy paranormal YA fiction
Trigger Warnings: treachery, fighting
Please note: Review will contain spoilers for book one. If you haven't read it yet, you have been warned.

My Thoughts: I was so taken with the first book that I had to immediately go out and buy the rest of the trilogy and start reading. Unfortunately I needed to do some editing, so I wasn't able to indulge myself with any more marathon reading until I finished that, thus the delay in finishing this second one. It definitely was no less enthralling and entertaining, especially watching Gray and Lee clash.

I started to develop a bit of a feel for Adrian in this book. I think there is more to him than we've seen. Maybe we'll learn more in the final book. And while she may be a super, ultra-, mega-beeeyotch, I'd like to know what became of Charlene. She can't have started out bad. While she tried to kill Stacey, succeeded in killing her sister, and then tried to purge Graylee, I just don't believe she is necessarily evil. She just was obsessed with being popular, and with Blake, and... well, I'd just like to know what happened to her.

To me, this obsession with the characters is the sign of some really good writing. If the author hasn't created characters you feel for, wonder about, and are concerned what happens to them, then she hasn't engaged the reader, and believe you me, this reader was engaged. So, if you like paranormal YA fiction, you do not want to miss the Spellbound trilogy. The final book, Enchantment, is up next.

Synopsis: If Graylee Perez thought sharing a body with her twin sister was bad, dealing with a duplicate of herself is two times worse. Gray the second doesn’t seem to get that Lee’s boyfriend, Raj McKenna, is off limits. Then there’s the problem of Adrian Montez. He expects one of the Grays to be his. Nearly a year later, the council is onto them for past misdeeds; Lee, along with the rest of the coven, has lost control of her powers; and Gray is being stalked by what looks like the Grim Reaper. If they work together, they may stand a chance of setting things right and making it out alive. ( )
