F.T. Lukens
An instant New York Times bestseller! Two rival apprentice sorcerers must team up to save their teachers and protect their own magic in this “charming and engaging” (School Library Journal) young adult romantic adventure from the author of In Deeper Waters and So This Is Ever After.Edison Rooker isn’t sure what to expect when he enters the office of Antonia Hex, the powerful sorceress who runs a call center for magical emergencies. He doesn’t have much experience with hexes or curses. Heck, he doesn’t even have magic. But he does have a plan—to regain the access to the magical world he lost when his grandmother passed. Antonia is…intimidating, but she gives him a job and a new name—Rook—both of which he’s happy to accept. Now all Rook has to do is keep his Spell Binder, an illegal magical detection device, hidden from the Magical Consortium. And contend with Sun, the grumpy and annoyingly cute apprentice to Antonia’s rival colleague, Fable. But dealing with competition isn’t so bad; as Sun seems to pop up more and more, Rook minds less and less. But when the Consortium gets wind of Rook’s Spell Binder, they come for Antonia. All alone, Rook runs to the only other magical person he knows: Sun. Except Fable has also been attacked, and now Rook and Sun have no choice but to work together to get their mentors back…or face losing their magic forever.

"I can't believe I actually liked this I wish I didn't because now I have no reason to hate on the author aside from So This Is Ever After (I still despise that book)"

"I’ve loved every single book this author has written. This one, though, is probably my least favorite out of all of them. It’s not that this book is bad or anything, it’s actually quite wholesome. I just found that I didn’t connect with the characters like I have with Lukens’ other books. Even when emotional parts of the story took place, I just had this kind of disconnect which made it hard to empathize with the characters and their situations. I don’t have much else to say, other than that I thought the dialogue between the two main characters was cute and the concept of the book was there. Would’ve liked to know a bit more about the magic system and how it came to be!🙂↕️"

"Premise and world building were really cool, unfortunately ending fell flat and left me disappointed"

"I really enjoyed the story and the build-up to the romance was satisfying.<br/><br/>Sometimes I find magic systems to be confusing at times but this was explained easily.<br/><br/>Would read again!"

"Super cute and enjoyable story with queer main characters. However, their queerness is not the center of the story, and is normalized within the plot :) great for those who love magic and fantasy mixed with the modern day "

"Spellbound is just -fun-. I really want more stories with these characters and the world that Lukens has created for us. <br/>The world is just as interesting as the sweet little romance that is wrapped up in it. The supporting characters are all very interesting and you understand their motivations for the actions they take. <br/><br/>I was happy to see pronouns and non binary characters treated like they were the norm. There was no big discussion about it, just a single correction where one character corrects another and then everyone moves on. This is more of the representation we'd love to see.<br/><br/>"

"Not only is this cover beautiful.. #SpellBound is MAGICAL.. literally. The magic, the magical characters, the villain/hero who hate to love, and love to hate, and my favorite; the banter you didn’t know you needed, and come to appreciate need more of immediately"
