About this ebook
Welcome to Mimi's Charms & Enchantments - a New Age shop filled with magical merchandise and colorful customers. Cam couldn't ask for a better afterschool job.
When a shady man in gray slinks in one afternoon, Cam is thisclose to calling 911. To her relief, he hurries away, leaving behind the nauseating odor of his cologne and a curious spell he's dropped on the floor. But this spell is not your average hocus-pocus. It's ancient, odd and promises Power Supreme - something Cam could definitely use to keep up her 3.9 grade point average.
But the spell requires more than what's stocked on Mimi's shelves. And acquiring each item will take some heavy teamwork. With the help of her best friend, Reade, and Zach, the high school's resident genius/nerd, Cam can't lose... unless the Gray man returns.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Working in a New Age shop has its perks!Cam's life takes an exciting turn when an unsettling customer drops an ancient spell on the floor while exiting the store. Although finding the items she needs to work the spell requires the help of her best friend, Reade, and her newest friend, Zach, she's more than happy to share the rewards. With a little teamwork, ingenuity, and patience they work their way down the list. Mischief, romance, and comedy follow the trio as they embark on an adventure to find all of the ingredients necessary for Power Supreme. I thought this book was well written, interesting, and easy to follow. There was never a dull moment and I thoroughly enjoyed the comical aspect. There was a sweet note of romance and allure in unexpected places. The ending brought everything together beautifully.also published on Amazon, Smashwords, Goodreads, and Barnes & Noble
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A quick and fun read! The sheer hilarity of some of the comments, inner thoughts, and reactions had me laughing out loud several times. I would not hesitate to read more from this author!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5* disclaimer: I received a free copy of this ebook from member giveaways on librarything*I really liked this book. I love YA sci fi/fantasy in general. This one was better than many I've checked out of my library recently. The characters were great. Mimi is fantastic. And her hair! Oh, I love her hair. A solid start happily didn't let me down - this book was a solid 4 stars all the way through. the main character is funny and snarky. her friend reade is a fantastic bubbly airhead foil. zach is a swoonworthy geeky charming boyfriend. the spell shop is great. the gray man is appropriately creepy. good high school friends on a quest (for the ingredients to a spell for supreme power). perfection.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What would you do if a mysterious spell for Power Supreme fell into your lap, while you were working in your grandmother's magic shop? Well Cam doesn't hesitate to get together with her best friend and a boy from school to obtain the ingredients and earn Power Supreme.I love this story and the characters, who felt like old friends. It is definitely a YA book, with its teenage dramas, but it is told in a way that even older people would love. I hope there is a second book to the series as the ending seemed short - like jumping off the cliff instead of hiking down the side of the mountain.*I was given this book in exchange for an honest review*
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great story,kept your interest throughout. Love the conflict and the group dynamics. Great read for YA as well as parents. I would recommend this book with 5 stars
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cam is a teenager working at her grandmother's magic store when suddenly a mysterious man drops a curious,ancient spell, which can promise her success,what will she do?I loved that book!!It had everything loveable-adventure,a sweet boy,a crush,love potion and it was hilarious,and although all those stuff sound like about any other young adult book it was a unique,amazing read,which I enjoyed every second of.If you are looking for a funny,adventure book this is definitely the book for you!also published at the book's Goodreads page.(4.5 stars)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While Cam is minding her grandmother’s New Age magic shop, a suspicious looking man accidentally drops an ancient spell for Power Supreme on the floor. Well, who could resist that? Not Cam and her boy-crazy best friend Reade. With the help of the ever accommodating Zack, their high school’s resident nerd genius, they embark on a merry mission to collect all the obscure, sometimes gross, ingredients the spell requires.Snappy dialogue, likable characters, light suspense, a touch of romance, and a sitcom-funny plot make Spellbound and Determined a fast, fun read. As an added bonus, Zach supplies a steady stream of encyclopedic information on any number of topics, and he has relevant quotes from Julius Caesar for just about every occasion.
