Old Magic by Marianne Curley



Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Witches, Magic, Time Travel, High School
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Jarrod Thornton is mesmerizing, but Kate Warren doesn’t know why. The moment the new guy walks into the room, Kate senses something strange and intense about him. Something supernatural. Her instincts are proven correct a few minutes later when, bullied by his classmates, Jarrod unknowingly conjures up a freak thunderstorm inside their classroom. Jarrod doesn’t believe in the paranormal. When Kate tries to convince him that he has extraordinary powers that need to be harnessed, he only puts up with her “hocus pocus” notions because he find her captivating. However, the dangerous, uncontrolled strengthening of his gift finally convinces Jarrod that he must take Kate’s theories seriously. Together, they embark on a remarkable journey – one which will unravel the mystery that has haunted Jarrod’s family for generations and pit the teens against immense forces in a battle to undo the past and reshape the future.

Jarrod is the new kid that has moved around so much he just want to stop and settle down, make friends that he can keep. Kate has grown up know what she is, a witch. She upon meeting Jarrod she knows that he is just like her. Jarrod on the other hand take some time to convince. The story is so imaginative. It deals with the high school peer pressure and being a little different than everyone else. I love how the relationship evolves between Kate and Jarrod. Also the way this story is written where the perspective changes from one to the other. I couldn’t wait to see where the story was going to end up. I really loved how this story came together. A truly enjoyable book.
