   SEPTEMBER 2017 edit how is it that I don t remember reading this book, and even less reviewing it O_O I might need to reread it because I seriously DON T REMEMBER A SINGLE THING ugly sobbing in the backgroundI rest my case.If a better written Twilight, a Halloween Disney Channel Original Movie, The Raven Cycle under methadone, and a bag of marshmallows had a lovechild, it d look like this book.Not gonna lie, you must be in a fluffy mood to really appreciate this one take it as if you were readin [...]

   Blackheath is a magical teen romance of epic proportions Nothing seems to ever go right for Maggie Ellmes When all else fails, she must seek out the help of the argumentative Joel Tomlins, the heir to the Blackheath s mansion and the most powerful in his family s line of witches There is a nasty curse, a very sweet romance, some sibling rivalry and lots of magic.Sure to be a hit with the younger tween readers, I found this story to be a quick, easy, entertaining teen geared novel I received this [...]

   Another amazing read by Gabriella Lepore I was pulled straight into the world of Blackheath and did not want to leave This book has everything romance, witchcraft, mystery It was wonderful and as with all of Gabriella Lepore s other books I would highly recommend Blackheath I both started and finished it today At just over 200 pages it is fairly short but the narrative is well written and you are not left feeling as though you have been cheated out of any significant part of the plot as may be t [...]

   I really enjoyed Blackheath The story unfolded at the perfect pace with enough intrigue to keep me turning the pages I finished this book in a few hours I loved watching the relationship unfold between Joel and Maggie, and the exchange between the brothers was wonderfully written I hope there will be books about these characters.

    I wish to thank the publisher for sending me a review copy of this book This is my second novel of Gabriella and there is a growth as an author It shows maturity in character development and, very important, dialogue It was a huge difference for the better I liked the writing style a bit on Blackheath Blackheath is a private academy where a family of students is known for being witches Maggie believes she has been cursed and asks Joel, the witch from her class, for help The plot develops from [...]

    I loved reading this book as it was funny and cute and there are so many words to describe it Is it just me who imagined Evan as Evan Peters from the first series of American horror story The story was interesting and easy to read and fall in love with and I just couldn t put it down.

    2.5 Stars Blackheath was an interesting book, but the expectations I had and the book it turned out to be were so different it was hard to get past it After looking at the cover and reading the synopsis, I was expecting a darkly gothic tale of sorcery and angst, with a girl long cursed seeking redemption What I got was a high school drama with a female MC, Maggie, who was really mean for no reason , likes to stomp her foot every time she is angry for no reason and then an entourage of secondary [...]

    Such a quick but great read Another wonderful story by the lovely Gabriella Lepore I spent the entire novel wanting to push Maggie and Joel at each other They were so cute Their relationship evolved in just the right way and there is still so much room to elaborate Can I just say how much I adore Pippin Imagining him in the pot just made me melt, awwww All of the characters were highlighted and given their moments which was great I look forward to seeing them again in book 2 Ainsley is one I ll [...]

    4.5 starsThis is my second Gabriella Lepore novel, and I loved it It s not often that I enjoy YA paranormal books, and that s mainly because they re full of cliches And yeah, there are a couple of eye rolling tropes in here, but the story is beautifully executed Teens act like teens and guess what, sometimes they take dumb decisions But I was still able to root for them and surprisingly, I was a big fan of the developing romance Luckily, it was not one of those cases when the romance overshadows [...]

    You can see this full review and at Book Briefs bookbriefs Blackheath is a young adult fantasy magic novel by Gabriella Lepore It is the first book in a new series I found Blackheath to be an interesting and quick read I think it will appeal to a younger, young adult audience as the writing and characters were a bit superficial Don t however take that to be a bad thing I enjoyed Blackheath and I think many readers will as well.I find stories about witches to be really engaging reads, and if yo [...]

    The back cover blurb is a tad misleading and some of the dialogue and descriptions are stilted or overdone, but this is a fast, mostly fun read.

    I really struggled with this book My main complaint about this book is that it felt like a very basic paint by numbers YA book It reminded me of the many mediocre vampire books that came out after Twilight The only difference between those books and Blackheath is that the author swapped out vampires for witches.This book just needed The entire story felt like it was just sliding across the surface of what could have been a really fun and exciting book This needed world building, characterizati [...]
