Spellbinding - Softcover
There's more than one way to be powerful . . .
It is during a routine school project that Abby Silva--sixteen and nearly friendless--makes a startling discovery: She is descended from women who were accused of witchcraft back in 1600s Salem. And when Abby visits nearby Salem, strange, inexplicable events start to unfold. Objects move when she wills them to. Candles burst into sudden flame. And an ancient spellbook somehow winds up in her possession.
Trying to harness her newfound power, Abby concocts a love potion to win over her longtime crush--and exact revenge upon his cruel, bullying girlfriend. But old magic is not to be trifled with. Soon, Abby is thrust headlong into a world of hexes, secrets, and danger. And then there's Rem Anders, the beautiful, mysterious Salem boy who seems to know more about Abby than he first lets on.
A reckoning is coming, and Abby will have to make sense of her history--and her heart--before she can face the powerful truth.

From Spellbinding:
Tourists stroll up and down toting shopping bags from the Witch Dungeon Museum. A couple of reenactors in colonial costumes and powdered wigs walk past, talking into their cell phones.
"Your drinks?" says a low voice. I let out an actual gasp. It's the boy we saw sweeping the sidewalk. He is stunning. I'm stunned.
He's dark-browed and lanky, with butterscotch skin and a thatch of unruly dark hair that bristles like sea grass. He's also got a couple of dimples that work overtime with that mischievous smile. But that's not what's socking me right in the gut, so hard I'm not sure I'll be able to breathe. It's his eyes. They're a clear, sparkling green, and splashed across one is a wedge of bright blue.
They're the eyes in my dream.
