SPELLBOUND
Released June 23, 2011
What’s a girl to do when meeting The One means she’s cursed to die a horrible death?
Life hasn’t been easy on sixteen-year-old Emma Conner, so a new start in New York may be just the change she needs. But the posh Upper East Side prep school she has to attend? Not so much. Friendly faces are few and far between, except for one that she’s irresistibly drawn to—Brendan Salinger, the guy with the rock-star good looks and the richest kid in school, who might just be her very own white knight.
But even when Brendan inexplicably turns cold, Emma can’t stop staring. Ever since she laid eyes on him, strange things have been happening. Streetlamps go out wherever she walks, and Emma’s been having the oddest dreams. Visions of herself in past lives—visions that warn her to stay away from Brendan. Or else.

SPELLCASTER
Released March 27, 2012
Finding your eternal soulmate – easy.
Stopping a true-love-hungry evil – not so much…
After breaking a centuries-old romantic curse, Emma Connor is (almost) glad to get back to normal problems. Although…it’s not easy dealing with the jealous cliques and gossip that rule her exclusive Upper East Side prep, even for a sixteen-year-old newbie witch. Having the most-wanted boy in school as her eternal soul mate sure helps ease the pain-especially since wealthy, rocker-hot Brendan Salinger is very good at staying irresistibly close….
But something dark and hungry is using Emma and Brendan’s deepest fears to reveal damaging secrets and destroy their trust in each other. And Emma’s crash course in über-spells may not be enough to keep them safe…or to stop an inhuman force bent on making their unsuspected power its own.

Hello Cara,
I am more then halfway through Spellbound, thanks to Netgalley, and am loving it. It is so “bewitching!” Before I post a review on it via my blog, I would really like to have a little interview with you. I’d be very appreciative if you would accept my humble proposal.

Hey Cara,
I absolutely loved your book i read though it in two and a half days because I simply could not put it down. Its definitely one of the best books I’ve read in a long time, with the supernatural aspects mixed with romance and everyday high school life, it was spectacular. As well as the amazing characters, I just love Brendan. I can’t wait for the sequel just please don’t add a love triangle, it’s definitely a great way to ruin a good series.
Thank you so much Alexandra! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I can’t say too much about what’s going on in the sequel but it’s safe to say that you can put your fears to rest.
OMG!!!! I absolutly Love love love this book so much I couldn’t put it down I finish the whole book the day I got it aslo I am almost done it for a second time and I dont often want to read books a second time but this book I just had to read again thank you so much for writing this book and I cant wait for a sequel!!!! There is going to be a sequal right?
Thank you so much Emily! So happy you loved it! Yes, there will be a sequel, coming out next year.

Thank you so much Jess! That means a lot to me. I’m so glad you liked it! Good luck with your writing and don’t let ANYONE stop you. You know, I tried out for my high school newspaper and didn’t make the cut. I went on to be editor-in-chief of the Fordham Observer in college! So keep on writing!!

Thank you so much Angela! Sorry it got you into trouble at work (that’s pretty funny!) but I’m glad you enjoyed it!

thanks!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Katherine! I’m glad Spellbound was able to give you a distraction from school—and I hope school gets easier for you. There will be a sequel, I’m writing it now. Thanks for writing me!
awsome thanks so much cara you rock!!!!!!!
I just finished reading this book! and my god how much i loved it! it was so romantic! i just loved Brendan’s character ! Honestly makes you wish that every girl can have someone just like that! I totally fell in love with him right away! And Emma was the perfection of this book, she wasn’t some girl with just a tragic past who would wallow in self pity, but a girl who and spunk and fight for what she believed it. Another character which wasn’t that big but i totally loved him, Cisco ! Oh he was just amazing and his personality made me laugh! Hes like the perfect ‘guy” best friend any girl could ever want!The book was totally marvelous because once i picked up the book to start reading, i honestly could not put it down. I stayed up till 5am to read, but i finish it until today because i didn’t want this story to end! i totally fell in love with the plot! i love reading books with different views supernatural love stories ( i am sap for love stories honestly! ) But i honestly love the mix with the witchcraft, it gave your story an edge ! I read some of your other comment to other and noticed that there will be a sequel! YAY! your a great writer!
but I’m wondering will it be still based on Emma and Brendan still? ( i hope cause i can’t enough of them!) Or a spinoff of another character that was in the book ( Angelique ?). I can not honestly say that I’m so excited for the next book! do you have estimation when the book will be out like late next year or early? sorry for the many questions, i am totally in love with Spellbound probably go read a couple more times later down the road! well all i can say IS THAT YOUR AN AWESOME AND LOVERLY WRITER! Can’t wait to read more! 
<33333
Thank you SO much! I’m. So happy you enjoyed it so much. Cisco is actually based on one of my best friends
the sequel will be about Brendan and Emma, but Angelique will play a much bigger role. And I can promise more magic 
Right now,it’s scheduled for next spring. Thanks so much for writing me! 
Hi Cara! Spellbound was AMAZING! Emma and Brendan are my new favorite book couple! I’m so glad that you’re writing a sequel as soon as I finished reading it, I came to your page to see if you were going to write another one and now that I know, I am SO STOKED!
Thanks for writing books, you’re a great writer!
Thank you so much, Taylor! I’m writing the sequel now, it should be out early next year!

Thx
Thank you so much Shantay! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Right now, I think the sequel is slated for next spring
[...] Still, I was slightly surprised to find that at the end of Spellbound, Cara Lynn Shultz had listed an iTunes playlist for the book. She included a link to the “Brendan and Emma” playlist on iTunes, which can be found on her website under the Spellbound tab at the top of the page. Or, you can just click here. [...]
heyy cara, i loved this book. I read the whole thing in less then two days. it kept me up all night i couldnt put it down. I cant wait for the next one to come out. thanks for writing such and awsome book!
Thank you so much, Chelsea! So happy you enjoyed it!
OH MY GOODNESS!! You are freaking amazing lol ^_^ love love lovveedd your book and can’t wait for the sequel!! Btw where can I find a Brendan Salinger of my own???? Love it:)
Thanks so much, Dana! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Cara,
Thank you so much for writing the book!! I was amazing and I could not put it down:) You have given me so much inspiration to become an author. I know it sounds crazy but even though Emma went through TERRIBLE accidents and almost lost the love of her life, I would LOVE to be in her position!:) I would give anything to feel the passion and love between Brendan and herself. You are such an amazing author….I can feel what the characters are feeling and that is such a wonderful feeling!! I can’t wait for the sequel:)
Thank you so much, Taylor! I’m writing the sequel now, it is slated for next spring.
Cara,
I have read the hit books and find my interest in some can lack halfway though. I honestly could not believe the detail in this book. You have an astonishing talent.The story line is amazing. I read the whole book in under 24 hours. I could not physically put it down, I could hear my heart throbbing in my ears just as you described Emma’s did. Amazing! I would love to hear that you are writing more. Your aspect on the medieval theme was quite enticing. I quite enjoyed reading. This book seems to have made my summer. Thanks for the brilliant read!
I hope to read more! Happy writing!
Teri
Thank you so much, Teri-Lyn! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
And I am writing more—I’m working on a sequel to Spellbound so Emma & Brendan will be back!
Hello
Just wanted to say the book was fabulous and I think very well written. I read it in less than a day. I REALLY hope there is a sequel to Spellbound! Thanks for such a great book!
Hope i get to see more!
Thanks so much, Jaddy! And yes, there is a sequel! Thanks for dropping by to say hi!
Hey Cara,
loved the book spellbound on of the best novles i have read in a long time thanks, i really hope there is a sequel!!!
Thanks Hannah
Thanks so much, Hannah! Yep, there is a sequel, it’s coming out next spring.
Hey Cara,
I bought Spellbound last weekend and just finished reading it last night. I couldn’t put it down I stayed up early into the morning reading. I absolutely loved it and you truly are an amazing writer. I was spellbound. I really felt like I was inside the book with the characters. Oh and Brendan all I can is OMG he is every girl’s dream guy. The love and passion between Emma and Brendan is so special and magical. Angelique is pretty cool too. I’m not really sure why she doesn’t like that Emma and Brendan are together but I guess she’s jealous because Brendan is taking up all of Emma’s time. I do hope in the next book she starts to like Brendan more. I’m very excited that you’re writing a sequel and next spring can’t come soon enough. I love supernatural books and this one was amazing! Thanks for writing such an amazing book and I can’t wait for the sequel.
Vicki
Thanks so much, Vicki! You’ll find out a lot more about why Angelique dislikes Brendan in the sequel
Sounds good! I can’t wait to read it! I’ll have to find some other books to distract me till it comes out.
Hello Cara,
This book is so amazing. I finished it in 3 days. I was so eager to find out if Emma and Brendan are really soulmate. OH I wish if i can find someone like brendan. Thank you so much for such a great book. I love it.
Thanks so much, Ruby! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Loved your Book more than anything <3 I cant wait for the sequal i read the book in a day. My eyes were glued to the pages, It was amazing
Thank you so much, Emma! <3 your name, BTW!
Dear Cara
I am a bookloving blogger in germany. And for that reason I want to ask if you know if a german publisher bought the rights from your book. I hope you can give me an answere.
Best wishes
Vanessa from Berlin, Germany
Hi Vanessa! My publisher, Harlequin, is international, so they have the rights to the book.
hi cara!!! i just finished spellbound and i immediately went to google to be POSITIVE tht there was going to b a sequel!!! YAY! i fell in love with brendan’s eyes and ashley’s spunk and emma’s passion. i also fell in love with your writing! i have dreams of being an author when i grow up, so you have really inspired me greatly. i will be waiting for the day when the sequel arrives! by the way, is the sequel the prolouge or whatever the things i deal with for friends?
Thank you so much, Amber! I’m so happy that you enjoyed it! The sequel is due in the spring. Angelique’s story at the end…hmm…how can I put this? Let’s just say it’s a hint at things to come! Best of luck with your writing
omg! i just luv your book its written so well i cant wait for the sequel! and brendan…!
Thanks so much! I’m actually writing it now (in a different window on my computer!).
It’s due next spring. Thanks for dropping by to say hi!
Do you know what the sequal is going to be called yet….. I wish next spring would come haha
Hi Emma! It’s going to be called Spellcaster, but I keep joking on Twitter that it’s going to be called Spellbound 2: Spell Harder, Spellbound 2 Fast 2 Furious, etc.
Your are incredibly awesom. I Just finished this book in like a day. I canceled all my plans with my friends just so I may finish this book ! . Really Cara you’ve done it ! <3
To be honest, I'm not the type of person who likes to read alot, I need a really good book to catch my attention. Ever since, I've ready the Hush Hush series I didn't even bother to look at any other book. Then, one day my friend came down grabbed my hand and forced the book "Spellbound" into me . I thought I should read it, so exactly from page 1 I was exactly attracted to this book like a magnet. This is probably my third time today, reading this book. Kudos to you !
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNKKKKK YOOOOUUUUUU soo SOOO Much <3 ! ! ! ! !
P.S. I hope you've thought about a sequel
I'm planning to fill my only shelf with your books. haha alright take care <3
Thanks so much, Sadia! There is going to be a sequel—I’m working on it now! (Well, when I’m not watching the Hurricane coverage!). So happy you enjoyed it!
Btw , you have an amazing choice in giving the looks to a character
Green eyes, black hair, amazing personality. Which is exactly my type.
Sometimes I wonder why isn’t he real ! haha
Hi! (: and I really enjoyed your book, it was just so cute :’D. and I was wondering what ‘The Things I deal with for friends” is it like a new book coming out? I’m quite unsure.
Hi Zaneta! Thanks so much! There is going to be a sequel coming out, and let’s just say Angelique’s epilogue hints at things to come….
AWESOME! i’m so excited I can’t wait! and I don’t mean to be nosey, but do you mean Spellcaster? (:
Yep! It’ll be called Spellcaster
hey cara justbfinished reading spellbound a second time after my cat died itnhellped me get over i i want to thank yo for giving me a piece of mind while i go threw this and the songs you listed at the back of the book unbelievable thanks it helps so much i lsten to tem over and over especially green day and te adventure it lifts my spirits thank you from the bottom of my heart !!!!!

just finished it… cant wait for the sequal
Thank you so much Alisha! So happy you enjoyed it — I just sent my editor the sequel this week!
When will Spellbound be available in the United Kingdom?
Hi Monica, I believe it’s available on Kindle in the UK now.
Hi,
I have been in touch with Amazon UK and they tell me your book is not on Kindle UK. I have pressed the sigh “tell the publisher you want this book on Kindle”. Perhaps you can throw more light on the problem?
I’ll email my publisher and find out what’s the story. I know it’s in Australia and I’ve heard from readers in Europe so there should be a way to get it! I’ll reach out and let you know. Sorry it’s becoming difficult to get the book
Thank you so much for your interest in it.
Also just finished the book and featured it as this months book club on my blog;
Hazel
http://hazellovesdesign.blogspot.com/2011/09/book-club-spellbound.html

Thanks so much, Hazel! I’m so happy you enjoyed it — and I promise you, there is NO love triangle for Emma in the sequel!
YAY!! I love that you are one of the few authors that actually take the time to reply to comments on their blogs!!! You’ve just gone to the top of my favourite all time list!! x
Aww thanks! I reply to everyone I can!
i just finished the book about a half hour ago and i don’t think i can wait for Spellcasters to come out AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Hey Monica,
So sorry—I thought it was! I’ve heard from people in the UK who have read Spellbound—perhaps they bought the paperback?
Turns out, it’s not available on Kindle in the UK.

I actually got it on a saturday evening and read until early sunday morning, I began reading it and never closed it, I re-read it all the time and I suggested it to all my friends who agree with me that it was phenominal!!!! Wonderful job, please keep the story going!!!! 
Thank you so much, Allie!! I really appreciate that
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I will continue their story—the sequel, Spellcaster, comes out in five months, at the end of March.
Are you going to attempt to make more than just the two or are you stopping after the sequel?
)
(please write more
Hi Allie, right now there aren’t any plans for more Emma & Brendan books, but I definitely do plan to keep on writing
I’m a top notch bookaholic and lately I haven’t read any books that were super good…until I read Spellbound! Whoa this book was amazing! I mean the action at the end was superb! I also fell in love with Brenden. Do you know where I can get a guy like him from? Lol. Anyways great job can’t wait for the sequel!
Thank you so much, Breezy! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks for writing me!

-Ghine
Thank you so much, Ghine! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
I absolutely loved this book!!! I am actually writing a book report about this in school
In your case, what do you think would be the most memorable line in the whole book 
You are an amazing book writer and I wish to follow your foot steps 
Thank you so much, Diana! I hope you get a good grade!
Hmm…most memorable line…everyone seems to be a fan of when Emma compares Ashley’s perfume to a “unicorn fart” but my favorite line might be when she asks herself, “Do I look like a freaking fairy-tale princess to you?”
Omg i have nooooooo clue how many times ive re read spellbound!!!!! i love it !!!!!!!!!! cant wait for spellcaster to come out!!!!!
Thank you, Lizzy!
I’m so happy you love it—when it gets closer I’m going to post teaser quotes!
I picked up Spellbound in the store while waiting for a book signing to begin and I couldn’t put it down. I immediately bought it so I could finish it.
I absolutely loved Spellbound and can’t wait to read Spellcaster.

I absolutely loved this book!!! I read it cover to cover in one day. I couldn’t put it down. The story drew me in from page one. I cannot wait until your next book comes out.
Thank you so much, Marissa! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Wow I absolutely love the book so far! I just wanted to ask why you can get so many different covers for the book… Because I have a different cover then the one on this page. Anyways, can’t wait for SpellCaster!! Btw do you know if you are going to make a movie of the books when they are done???
Hi Heather, thanks so much! The author actually has no say on the covers—that’s generally how it is in publishing—but I really do like the alternate cover (the one with the girl in the doorway). It’s so pretty! And there aren’t any movie plans yet, but I’d love it if that happened!
awesoooome booook! i cant wait until spellcaster is released! i toatlly loove these books. you, stephanie meyer, and suzanne collins..so on my wish list for santa!!!!!!!
Thanks so much, Liz! Wow, you put me in some great company
I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
I loved it so much. Apart from the fact she’s a reincarnated version of a horrible sad love story… I want to be her so bad. By the way Eleanor is my little sisters name and i can relate to them each other 1000000000000000 percent! you my fav author ever!
I. LOVE. IT. SO. MUCH.!!!
ALSO WHEN I HEARD THE SONG BROTHER BY MATT CORBY. I THOUGHT STRAIGHT AWAY! ETHAN AND EMMA! I GOT MY BEST FRIENDS MY FRIENDS MY CLASS MATES MY BIG SISTER AND EVEN MY ENIMES INTO THE BOOK! HA HA HA!
Thank you so much, Gabzie! I’ll have to check out that song—and thanks so much for the support!! I’m so happy you enjoyed Spellbound!
Btw. You should totally should have a bit where she try’s to make ethan and her mum come back to life. But, it doesn’t work. NEXT BOOK MAKE SHORE BRENDAN AND HER ARE MUCH CLOSER! UH HUH!
Ooh zombie Ethan!
The sequel, Spellcaster, is already done—it comes out in just three months!
YES! I can’t wait! You know Ashley and me are soooo alike. I’m shot with brown straight hair and rosey red cheeks. I also can’t help being polite. My bag is filled with make-up and i’m not too popular but I have my group of friends. As like her i’m very stubborn. >:)
Sorry I spelt short wrong its just some of the buttons on our keyboard go on and off.
I knew what you meant
My phone auto-corrects things all the time. There’s a lot more of Ashley in Spellcaster! 
Thanks for speaking to me.
You’re welcome! Thanks for writing me!
Btw is Kirstin dead? I really hate her. ):(
She isn’t dead—and that’s all I can say right now
DAM IT!
By the way I was wondering if you could give me a bit of the blurb.
And on every romantic novel I have read, on the second book the couple have this pointless fight. That won’t happen right? RIGHT? O_o
The blurb is posted above!
THIS . IS . AMAZING, I have just finished reading spellbound and i thought it was the BEEZ KNEEZ . I love how it is not some boring teenage sappy book like most of them are these days(Also glad there arent any vampires in sight in this novel), i was getting over my Harry Potter withdrawel and i really needed a good Witch book to help over come it. IT WORKED!! i love Emma’s Satirical witand Brendans awesomness.I already preordered the next segment to this series(EEEK, excitment!!!!).Any way , Thank you for being awesome and not melting my Brain!!!
Thanks so much, Maryam! I’m so happy you loved it—and thanks for pre-ordering Spellcaster! There is a LOT more magic and witchcraft in the sequel.
I loved the book! I literally am reading the last page right now and later tonight I’m going to get the sequel! It was so good! You’re a fantastic writer! By the way, is The Things I Deal With For Friends the beginning of the sequel or just another part of Spellbound, like another chapter?
Thank you so much, Jess! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! The epilogue with Angelique … hmmm, how can I put it? It hints at things to come
p.s: is the curse really broken????
I can’t say…you’ll just have to find out
Thanks for responding! Wait, so I couldn’t find Spellcaster, is it actually out yet? When is/was the release date? Also, I think it’s really great that you take time to respond to your fans, I’m only 15 but I really appreciate it!
Hi Jess, Spellcaster isn’t out until March 27, but I’m posting teaser quotes (just posted one today!). And I really appreciate you taking the time to write to me! I reply to everyone I can
oh Darn. now this makes me even more wanting of the next book!!!!:)
I cant’ wait for the next one to get out!! I just have a little trouble picturing Emma, because in the cover book shes blond, but in the book she says her hair is brown, or did I get it wrong? :O
Hey Victoria! You’re correct — Emma is a brunette. Her hair looks very fair on the cover, but she’s got long brown hair and bangs that seem to constantly need a trim
Hi its me, again… Yes, you did not get rid of me.
I would just like to say you inspired me to become a writer.
I am writing down my ideas and I am dedicating my life to become one.
Thank you very much.
That’s great! I’m so honored — keep at it and don’t let anyone stop you! That’s the best way to get started and find your voice, just keep writing down your ideas. Good luck
Omg iv read spellbound like almost 25 times it’s my favourite book and I can’t wait for spellcaster!!!
Thank you so much, Lauren! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
Wow. I completely lost track of time while reading this book. Such an amazing story and very well written! I can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks so much, Kymber! That’s such an awesome compliment!
I’m reding your book right now. Almost at the end! And I really enjoy it. Really like the concept then. Reincarnation is cool
Can’t wait until next book comes out <3<3
Thanks, Camilla! I’m so happy you’re enjoying it!
Hello My name is Samantha, I love your book so much!!!!

After I read it I couldn’t wait for the next one!!! Thank you So much that book is inspiring!!!

Hi Nicole! I can’t say what’s going to happen but I can promise you that you’ll see some familiar faces from the first book—and a few new characters, too.
I finished Spellbound in less than a day. I’m a huge fan! I love your voice as an author! I really loved how you added in the playlist at the back of the book, especialy Church on Sunday by Green Day. My best friend passed away in December, and he always use to sing me that song so it was a nice little reminder at the end of a great book
Any advice for young writers?
Hi Violet! Thanks so much, I’m so happy you enjoyed it. So sorry to hear about your friend, but it’s nice that you have such a great song as a reminder of him.
Good luck with your writing!
For young writers, I’d say just to keep writing. I know it sounds simple, but it really is the best way to discover your voice. Even if you’re not sure how to end your story, that’s ok. Just keep on writing, jot down all your ideas, all your notes—everything. Rely on things that inspire you when you’re stuck (e.g., art, music). Oh, and email yourself your stories when you’re done as a backup, so your writing exists somewhere
Thank you so much for the advice!
Hi Cara! Just finished Spellcaster last night, and I LOVED it! I couldn’t find any details on this, so I thought I’d come by here–will there be any more books in the series? Thanks so much for writing, I really love these kids a lot. xo
Hi Kassiah, thanks so much!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Right now there aren’t any more plans for Brendan & Emma-centric books, but I do plan to keep on writing.
Awww thanks for letting me know! I’ll keep my fingers crossed (since Spellbound was supposed to be standalone). I’m glad you’re planning to keep writing. I’ll keep my eye on you ♥
Thanks for the support, Kassiah!
I just finished Spellbound and just let me say “WOW”!! It was a fascinating read. It’s been a long time since I couldn’t put a book down. I started reading it and saw the clock and it was 5 o’clock in the morning. I finally toldyself to let the book go and I could continue reading it when I woke up. Thank you so much for putting this book out on the market! Officially one of my favorites of all time!
Thanks so much, Kirsten! Staying up late to finish—that’s a BIG compliment!
Hello Cara!
I read it in three days, but oh my god. I fell in love with Brendan. I can’t wait for more. I seriously can’t. And this book is the first I ever want to read and I own! Amazing.
Oh my god. I love you and your book! I was obsessed with it. I could have read it in a day but school didn’t let me
Nathalie.
Thank you so much, Nathalie! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Brendan (and Emma) will be back at the end of next month in Spellcaster. In the meantime, you can check out his IM interview here: http://readmebookmarkmeloveme.blogspot.com/2012/02/valentines-blog-event-character-im-chat.html?spref=tw.
hii cara:)
LET ME KNOW! THANKS!
as soon as my friend finished reading spellbound, she literally FORCED me to read it. she said id love it for two reasons; im really into the witchcraft stuff (i went through this phase where i legit thought i was a witch LOL) and emma has exactly the same personnality as me. when i finished it, i realized how right she was…emma and i are exactly alike!! I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE PLANNING ON MAKING IT INTO A MOVIE? as an aspiring actress, i would audition for the role in a heart beat, because i honestly think i would make an absolutely ideal emma.
Hi Maya! Thanks so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!! Right now there aren’t any plans to bring Emma and Brendan to the big screen, but if there are I’ll definitely post about it.
I just started Spellbound last night, and I’m already done with it today! That is one a-m-a-z-i-n-g book! I love it, and your writing is absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to read more of your work, and I can’t wait to read the sequel. I loved everything about Spellbound so much and it couldn’t have been any better, the characters and scenarios were so perfect and real. It had the perfect mixture of romance and humor and magic, absolutely perfect. This book is already on My Top Favorite Books list and I’ll defnitely be rereading it again in the future
Thanks so much, Maryum! I’m so thrilled that you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy Spellcaster!
hi Cara
so basically i just wanted to let you know how absolutaly OBSESSED i am with your book! I literally finished it in two days…. i could NOT put it down!
to be honest i read a ton of books, but this one just has an effect on me that i cannot shake off and it has alot to do with your style of writing which is SO CAPTIVATING! please please PLEASE do not stop writing sequels and make the romance last as long as you can! I’m IN LOVE with this book and everything about it. so ya, just thought i should let you know
btw… u got a comment from a girl named maya and she told you about her friend who forced her to read it…. ya that was me
Hey Lily! Thanks so much for reaching out! I’m so happy you enjoyed Spellbound
Hey, I was just wondering how many books you were planning on writing because you’re my favourite author and spellbound is my favourite book I was just curious because I want there to be like100 but that is highly highly unlikely but I was just wondering thanks!!
Hi Lauren! Spellcaster (the sequel to Spellbound) comes out March 27. I do plan to keep on writing as long as I can—hopefully I can get to that 100

OMG so LOVED this book!!! The ending was perfect in this epic rom/com/drama!!!! I really hope there is another book in this series!! Hint, hint! But I have two words for you…MOVIE. DEAL. PLEASE!!!! Okay so it was more like three but come on that would just be the definition of amazeballs!!
Thanks so much, Ashley! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed it! I’d love it if there were a Spellbound/Spellcaster movie as well…hopefully someday!
Who would you want to play Brendan and Emma if there was a movie?
I love your books Spellbound and Spellcaster and was hoping there is going to be another book in this series. Are there any plans for a sequel?
Hi Julie! Thanks so much!
Right now there aren’t plans to continue Brendan & Emma’s story, but I am working on a new project.
Hi Cara
This is my all-time favourite book read it 3 times and just ordered spellcaster I was just wondering if or when are you making spellbound a movie I really can’t wait and have you wrote any other books?
Hi Katy! Thank you so much for the support, I’m so happy you enjoyed it! There aren’t plans for a Spellbound movie yet, but I’d love it if there were! Spellcaster is only my second book, but I am working on a new project.
I just finished spellcaster and I loved it! You are an amazing writer. I even got a few of my friends to read the series and they like it just as much. Even if you don’t continue doing stories with Brendan and Emma I’d still read all you books they’re just so good. If they were ever to turn the stories into a movie you don’t know how exited I’d be. You’ve become one of my favorite authors
Thank you so much, Greer—and thanks for recommending the series to your friends! I really appreciate the support!
Is spellcaster the past book? I hope not i love the series!
Is spellcaster the last book? I hope not i love the series!

I went to Itunes and got the rest of the music. I am going to miss Emma and Brendan I hope one day to see them again! They will be missed!!
Thank you so much, Connie! I’m so happy that you enjoyed the book—and the music! I’m a huge Paramore fan myself
Hi Cara

Thank you so much, Samantha!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the books. Maybe someday I’ll continue their story, but for right now I’m leaving Brendan and Emma with their happy ending—and I am still writing!

I do my best to reply to everyone. I don’t have any plans to visit Australia yet, although I’d LOVE to go. My husband actually lived there for awhile!
I loved spellbound. It was captivating and i can’t wait to read the highly anticipated sequel. Brendan sounds dreamy and to die for. The books took my breath away and had me reading for hours on end. Thank you for your amazing writing talent.
Thank you so much, Sarah! I’m so happy you enjoyed it —and thank YOU for reading!
Hello, just finished Spellcaster, and it was such an amazing book
Thanks for another awesome read 
Hopefully there’s another book after that one…
Thanks so much, Jadzia! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Right now there aren’t plans for another Brendan & Emma book, but I am continuing to write!
Hey Cara!
You kept it fresh, cute and SO FUNNY! Brendan and Emma’s humor cracked me up several times.. literally LOL’d.. kind of awkward in a library btw 
Anyway, I loved it and I couldn’t put it down!!! Are you going to write a third or stop at two? (PLEASE WRITE A THIRD?? 
)
I just read Spellcaster this week.. 5/5 stars! Amazing! you managed to avoid the “horrible sequel” stareotype
Allie
Hi Allie, thanks so much! The library scene was pretty tough to write, I won’t lie! Right now there aren’t plans for another B&E book, but I am continuing to write!
Thanks for reaching out!
I LOL’d out loud when i was reading your book in the library (that what i meant was awkward) I was actually in a library when i read the part with Brendan and Emma in the library… ehh! Well, I hope you’re not closed to writing a thrid book! Because Brendan and Emma’s story is just so addictive!
Oh, now I know what you mean! Haha! I’m not closed to it, I just want to make sure it’s the right story to tell. And I am continuing to write!
I finished both books and they are so good. I hope there are more books to come
Thanks so much, Megan! Right now there aren’t plans for another Brendan & Emma story, but I am continuing to write!
I loved the 2 books!!!!! They’re wonderful! Could u tell us if there will be anymore books to the series?
Thanks so much, Melissa! So happy you enjoyed them! Right now there aren’t plans for another Brendan & Emma story, but I am continuing to write!
Hi Cara,
I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed both “Spellbound” and “Spellcaster”. I just finished “Spellcaster” yesterday so it is all fresh in my mind! Emma kicks so much butt in the second one that I just couldn’t help but smile – she is such an empowered female character and it is good to see. I respect that she would throw a punch instead of running or waiting for Brendan to do it.
Thank you for the great books.
Thanks so much, Kristal! I’m so happy you enjoyed our (much tougher) Emma!
Completely loved your books. I stopped by to ask if you could possibly post some Spellbound series mini banners for bloggers to use on their blogs in promoting your series. At the moment only a couple of blogger make them and they have huge lists to do since everyone seems to be posting them now. So I kind of thought stopping by the site of the author and asking if they’d post some so people can use them on their blogs and promote the awesome series might you know be a good idea. Maybe not, but I thought I’d ask anyway. Thanks so much for your time.
Thanks so much, Jenn! I’m so happy you enjoyed them! I actually don’t know how to make banners or else I would have posted some!
Is there going to be a third book I’m reading spellcaster now and I really want there to be. I just love the characters and I don’t want the story to stop
Thanks so much, Georgia! So happy you’re enjoying the books! Right now there aren’t plans for another Brendan & Emma story, but I am continuing to write!
Dear Cara,
I recently read your book spellbound and im in love!!!!
I just5 bought the second book in the series and am almost done with it!!
I just love the love emma and Brendan share and i hope to fine that in my future (minus the violence and crazy step-fathers)!!!!
Thank you so much, Levi! I’m so happy that you’re enjoying Brendan & Emma’s story!
Dear Cara,
i just finished spellcaster and it was amazing! Brendan and Emma are the cutest couple ever. Just one question will there be another book. I really hope so!
Hi Caitlyn, thank you so much for reaching out! Right now there aren’t plans for a third Brendan & Emma book but I am continuing to write!
I just finished reading spellcaster and I LOVED it!!!! I couldnt put it down! Are you going to write a 3rd one?
Hi Mel! So happy you enjoyed it! Right now there aren’t plans for a third Brendan & Emma book but I am continuing to write!
I really love your books! I hope there are more books (: Their story is so sweet and romantic and Emma is so strong and brave, she is really is a hero!
Thank you so much, Karla!! I’m so happy you enjoy them! Right now I’m working on a new project—but the heroine has a lot of Emma’s spunk, too.
Cant wait to see your new project (:
