Originally from California, L.S. Gagnon moved to Massachusetts to marry the love of her life. With little education, L.S. Gagnon worked in the fields most of her young adult life. Giving her mother a better life always gave her the drive to keep fighting to better herself. She escaped into her dreams from childhood, unknowingly giving her a peek at what she would be creating one day. When she lost her mother, her death sent L.S. into darkness. It was the most heartbreaking thing she's ever had to live through. "I've never felt pain like that before," she said. "I felt my heart would fall apart." She credits her husband, and a visit to Salem for bringing her back to life. He gave her the idea for writing, "We were in a book store one day," she began, "And I couldn't find a book I liked. My husband turned to me and said, 'so why don't you write your own book?' and those words changed my life forever." On a visit to Salem, she says the town set her heart racing. "Salem was filled with magic," she said, "Something in my heart woke up. It was then I realized I wasn't honoring my mother by being the person she always wanted me to be. The idea for the books came to me that same day. I know in my heart, it was her talking to me." L.S. Gagnon lives in Massachusetts with her husband and four dogs who she calls 'her children.' She earns a living as an executive chef and pastry chef, but hopes to one day write full time. "There's so many stories in my head," she says, "I just don't have time to write them all down."

Originality from any other I've read

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2014

Read May 1st to May 3rd
This was a Freebie I grabbed Feb. 9th, 2014 from Amazon.

I love witches first and foremost above all others in this genre. I was charmed from the first words, and when you allowed the main character to be an avid reader. I was hooked.

Gagnon; you have an easy flow with your writing that pulled me into the story. I loved loved loved the originality of the bond for these witches. Can’t say anymore in fear to mess it up for another…

I was delighted I picked this book from amongst the many others on my TBR list. I will from this book forward pick books on the bottom of my pile according to the mood I’m in and today as you see I’m in a mood for Witches. :D

Notes for Gagnon;
I believed James was true from the beginning.
I doubted Delia many times and still waver with it.
I too forgave Vera and was so glad Thea did so.
Aww Cory, my heart breaks for you.
I was glad William was there for them all, and especially for James.

I loved the story, I loved your characters. But I will tell you I stopped at the end, where they happy. I didn’t read the Epilogue. Because at this rime I won’t go any further on this series and wanted to end on a good note, maybe later.

☆Blessed be,

worth the read

If you like the twilight series you'll probably like this. Well developed book with intriguing story line. The love story which is an integral part of the book was a bit too much for me (a forty something year old guy) but would be fine for others of a different age and sex. That being said, based on the story line and writing this could be one of those crazy popular books despite my 4 star rather than 5 star rating. Just to be fair the twilight series only gets 3 stars from me and I hear a few people like those books.

Terrible, but in a good way!

5 stars because it really was a book I could not put down, but it was so bad, you guys. So bad. If Jim Butcher and J.K.Rowling and Stephenie Meyer all got really really drunk and had a baby, and that baby got really drunk and wrote a book, it would be this book.

It's got everything you might want in a ridiculous summer read: super power magic, yet no way to solve obvious problems, overly dramatic female character constantly having illogical, emotional outbursts and body image issues, overly romantic relationship with a quasi-abusive man (she just loves it when he calls her "stupid" in that loving way and threatens to kill himself to save the relationship - it's so endearing, right ladies?), not the mention the completely unnecessary harem of muscly young men and brutal (and I mean brutal) torture scenes.

I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one!

Which Witch Are You?

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019

Thea doesn’t know she is a witch. She lives in Salem which has become a tourist attraction for vacationers who are groupies of the history of that era. Her friend Delia makes potions for the tourists. Read the book to discover what unfolds allowing Thea to regain her memory. It’s a pretty fast moving book. I’m off to read the sequel. Hope to see you there!

COULD HAVE BEEN AN INTERESTING SERIES

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2015

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I can understand Thea wanting to forget her memories and hide herself but I cannot believe anyone would let herself be made so weak and pathetic. She’s afraid of her own shadow, insecure, needy, and whiney; she’s her own worst enemy. After discovering she was a witch you would have thought thinks would be a little better, but no. Then I kept thought when she got her memories back it would have happen and for a few pages it did, but then she’s back to feeling sorry for herself and hiding in the garden to cry. If she is half wizard, why is she not asking William to let her help him so it can be done quicker? She should be furious that she had had to hide for over 400 years with her friends having to change there appearances and most of them hiding themselves so that those hunting her would not realize who she was. There’s also the fact that she’s been away from the man that she is supposedly bonded to also and their struggle is still not over. She should be planning how to find her enemies and destroy them to protect everyone she supposedly cares about; not hiding feeling sorry for herself and crying.

The series could have been redeemed, but from the reviews I’ve seen it wasn’t and it was dragged out into a tetralogy. Also, this is supposedly a YA novel and while there was not a lot of sex, there was a lot of intense longing before the inevitable sex scene so I think it should at least have a warning for parents that monitor what their younger teens read,(if any still do).

3/5 **I want to thank the author and/or the publisher for providing a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review; all opinions are mine.**

What a wonderful story, loved the character's, so many twists and turns....I was not able to put this book down, you never knew quite what would happen next. I received this book from Amazon on Thursday (8-9-2012) and started reading it almost immediately, I just finished reading this book (8-11-2012), and am wanting to read more about these character's and the continuation of this story in the next volume. Every page left you with wanting to read the next and there are 488 page's. I am looking forward to the next Volume.

I was inconsolable when my Kindle was stolen midway through the book. Two hours later, I had a new one. I really loved everything about the book. Now, I want the sequel. this book was great--the plot, the characters, the magic, the emotions. I could not put it down. Even now, it's finished and I keep hoping that if I keep the book in hand, the sequel will magically appear.

A book that holds you tight to the very end.

A book that you won't want to put down. You can't go to sleep until a chapter ends, and the next day you want to ignore what needs to be done so that you can start the next chapter. I was crushed when the story abruptly ended, only wanting to get my hands on the next book. Don't pick up this book unless your ready to be enchanted.
