Revealers Amanda Marrone Books

When I started this book, I had to take a break here and there. I'm pretty sure the problem was too much drama, and believe me that's harsh coming from me ( I love drama!) The book was okay, didn't live up to the cover (which was cool). I wouldn't recommend this book to young readers.

Witches are just hocus-pocus, bippity-boppity-boo... right?

Wrong.

For Jules and her friends Dani, Zahara, Margo, and Sascha, being a witch is a full-time job. They're part of a coven of Revealer witches that hunt and kill the evil creatures that lurk in the shadows of the night. Using their powers, they reveals the beasts for what they truly are and then rid the world of them, leaving behind the clean up work for the only two male coven members, Michael and Connor.

When the girls turn eighteen, they are initiated into the inner-circle of the coven, and all the secrets are revealed to them. But will they like what they hear? Jules is the youngest, and as she watches the changes in her newly-initiated friends, she begins having second thoughts on whether she truly wants to be a witch.

Meanwhile, her relationship with long-time crush Connor blossoms. But they must keep their love secret, as it's against the rules for the girls to have relationships before the age of eighteen. But is he really what he seems?

Startling revelations come to light, and the whole coven is thrown into chaos. Can Jules and her friends stop it?

As Amanda Marrone's sophomore novel, I must say I was impressed. The Revealer witch idea was unique, as opposed to many witch-related novels in the YA market at the moment. Her writing style was still a little juvenile, but that could be overlooked easily.

REVEALERS brings witches back to the forefront, this time in a different light. They still retain the age-old stereotype of flying brooms and cloaks billowing in the wind, but bring a modern feel to it by having otherwise normal teenage girls hold the power. It's fast-paced, and for once, the romance is only a minor sub-plot--very hard to find in today's paranormal fantasy.

I enjoyed REVEALERS, and will definitely be on the lookout for anything else by Amanda Marrone. 4 stars.
Vampires, werewolves and demons are no problem for Jules, Dani, Zahara and Margo. That's because these girls are young members of a powerful coven of witches and it is their job to hunt down these evil creatures of the night. If there is a threat to innocent humans, they will be there with cape, broom and spell to take the monsters back to...where bad things go. While they fight the things that go bump in the night, they still have to keep their grades up in school and literally fly under the radar, careful to keep their magical identities a secret. They have been told that if anyone finds out, there will be consequences. They aren't sure what these consequences are, but they suspect it can't be anything good and accept it as one of the many secrets that the coven seems to be keeping. Besides, when the girls turn 18, they will be initiated into the inner circle and the secrets will be revealed to them.

Jules is the youngest and most rebelious of the group. She's always the first to break the rules or question the outdated traditions of the coven. She even gets herself involved in a dangerously forbidden romance. She is trying to be a good little witch, but it's dificult for her to follow every rule and regulation, especially when some of them don't make sense or don't seem fair.

As Jules watches her friends become part of the inner circle, she notices a change in each of them. They are acting strange and seem very afraid of something. She wonders exactly what secrets the coven is hiding. As Jules gets closer to the truth she begins to doubt the intentions of her own friends and family and she has no idea who or what she can trust. Up until now, she's been hunting "monsters" for what she thought was the good of the world, but she's not so sure who the real monsters are anymore. As she watches her world crumble, she now must decide if she will follow the ways of the coven or stand up and fight for what she thinks is right.

Revealers is a fantastic, supernatural coming of age story about friendship, courage and trust. It is a perfect mix of magic, suspense and sweetness, a delicious treat with a few tricks up it's sleeves.
I never felt the heroines were in any great danger. The ending was good and at least this was a self-contained story and not the bookend of a sequel. The language was coarse and the prevalence of teen sexuality was not necessary.
It's reading good reading material, i have grown to love the author and how she writes.
I loved this book and was very glad I purchased it. I do wish it had come out in form but was still worth the paperback buy!!!
