Okay so this book was good, but I didn’t get sucked into it like the others in this series. The first two books I couldn’t put down, I loved everything about them and expected to feel the same about this one. To me it just fell flat. I wasn’t that into Thea and Eric’s relationship. Blaise was just so annoying and attention seeking. And it took awhile for the story to pick up and have me guessing what’s going to happen next. Though the ending was good. It became more dramatic and I was flipping through the pages like crazy.
La setta dei vampiri 3
Un pochino meglio, almeno qui la storia d'amore tra Thea ed Eric ha una base leggermente piu' credibile. Il fatto che i personaggi principali siano solo tre (certo sempre circondarti da mille personaggi buonisolo a far numero)sembra giovare e dare un'impostazione un po' piu' credibile alla storia.
Certo, leggere questo dopo aver letto l'altra serie sulla steghe della Smith e' un po'ridicolo, perche' alcune cose che succedono in questo libro sono identiche a quello che poi accade nell'altra serie. Che mirabile fantasia!
La scena finale pero' si salva, e' stato inaspettato.
Ah, dimenticavo, Thea e Blaise sono cugine di Ash.
Ash e' come il prezzemolo, spunta dappertutto!

This was just as cute and compelling as the other books in the series. I’m loving to connections created with individual characters and hoping they all com together soon! It’s a beautiful trope-ridden YA Fantasy that gives me Twilight but less toxic vibes. I throughly enjoy reading them and can’t wait to continue
I have become obsessed with the night world book! this was as amazing as the others.

I am really enjoying this series!
So far each book is stand alone but the series is cohesive in content.

Technically I don't think Spellbinder is as strong as Daughters of Darkness or Secret Vampire which is a shame because I felt like it had the potential to be. I did still enjoy it because I've always found books about witches that use actual herbal and magic lore & myths interesting but the characters felt a bit bland. I felt like Thea could have been more interesting if she hadn't been angry at Blaise, scared in general or doped up on love most of the time. There were a few moments that showed other parts of her character but it seemed like she was largely defaulted into one of three modes mentioned before. It also would have been nice to have a brief insight into Blaise or Eric's mind at some point, like we do with Philip & James in Secret Vampire or with Mark, Ash and Jade in Daughters of Darkness. Instead Spellbinder is all from Thea's point of view and this single viewpoint is a unfortunate trend that continues in most of the series with a few exceptions. Maybe the story would have been richer or at least other major characters like Blaise and Eric wouldn't have felt so one note.
As the third book in the series it continues the trend with a new story. It's pretty good and fairly easy to get through quickly. I enjoyed the characters Thea and Blaise, just because of their differing personalities. I do look forward to getting the next three.
