Product Description Just one spell. Problem solved. How hard can it be? A Rhiannon Godfrey story. Rhiannon Godfrey is a psychic prodigy, but her parents don't see things her way. They think she needs a "normal" high school experience-she wants to stay in trendy Vegas. In the small farming town of Crystal Lake, being Wiccan doesn't exactly help the Godfreys blend in. Beyond angry, Rhiannon neglects to inform her parents the farmhouse they just bought is haunted. Instead, she decides to use the resident ghost to prove that she belongs back in Dr. Richards's Institute of Parapsychology. Not that dispelling ghosts is her area of expertise, but really, how hard can it be? And then there's Jared Roberts. Totally hot. For a cowboy, that is. Only problem? He comes with an evil twin sister, the shallow and popular Janet. Janet's only goal is to make Rhee-s life miserable. So when she and her friends decide it's time for a little payback, Rhee goes to her mother's book of spells. Janet needs to be taught a lesson, and what harm can come from a few words? Just one little spell. Warning: Read at your own risk! Scary ghosts and magickal moments inside.

For Teen and Adult Readers October 20, 2009 G. Gallo (Louisiana) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book as a Kindle freebie and didn't have many expectations. Now, I am looking for more books by this author. It started out with a bang and never got boring. The main character, a teen with special powers, lives in a truly haunted house. However, the fun in this book is watching this formerly home-schooled girl learn to fit in with regular kids at her school. I really liked their interactions and the rodeo. It's a fun book.
A Quick Fun Read October 13, 2009 Beth Kristen Nehme (Miami,FL) This is not a great work of literature. The plot is fairly routine and there are several items left dangling at the end. However, I was desperate for a fun read after slogging through several classics. This fit the bill wonderfully. The characters are likeable, the writting is simple, relaxing and straightforward, and the plot is fun if not plausible. I really enjoyed it.
Grandpa's Review September 12, 2009 Jerry Hooten (Des Moines, IA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read a sample of this book and got hooked by the similarities of the character and my granddaughter, Iris. My daughters' family had recently moved from Oregon to Wisconsin. Iris had some of the same problems adjusting, without the magic. After reading and enjoying the book myself, I had to get a copy to send to her.
Very well written, fast, fun read!
Loved it! August 29, 2009 Stacy L. Daniels (Texas) This book was a quick, easy read, entertaining and engaging. I was drawn in from the beginning and thought the characterizations were realistic and also had some comical scenes. Even though I am not a young adult, I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Rhiannon Godfrey has problems. Her parents just moved the family from Las Vegas to a small town in the state of Washington. Her fashion-forward style doesn't exactly fit in with her new classmates. In fact, Rhiannon seems to be the only person in town who is not walking around in cowboy boots and a belt buckle the size of a dinner plate.
On top of that, a ghost is living in Rhiannon's new bedroom and needs help unraveling a 100-year-old mystery so she can cross over. There's also a snotty group of girls at school who delight in making Rhiannon's life difficult. The fact that she possesses psychic powers that aren't completely under control doesn't help.
Rhiannon keeps fighting the urge to use her powers to teach the mean girls a lesson. Sure, catching their hair on fire might feel good for a minute, but Rhiannon's mom would be so disappointed.
HER WICCAN, WICCAN WAYS is an entertaining paranormal adventure. It leads the reader through both the everyday high school agonies of friends, clothes, and boys, while adding exotic supernatural experiences and a pair of well-meaning Wiccan parents. It makes for a fun combination. Just when you think Rhiannon has a handle on her complicated life, an unexpected wrinkle pops up to push her back to square one again.
I enjoyed this book, and I liked the characters in it. I appreciated the fact that some of Rhiannon's problems were obviously someone else's fault (popular girls being nasty, for instance), while others were of her own making (not telling anyone about the evil spirit in her closet, for example). Regardless of how the problems landed in her lap, though, Rhiannon made an effort to deal with them.
Of course, if she had been my daughter, I would have been furious that she tried to handle so many dangerous things on her own. I had to keep reminding myself that this is the nature of YA books. No one wants to read about the teenage main character's parents solving all the problems. The teens have to be as independent as possible. Even if that's sometimes hazardous or scary.
I recommend this exciting book, and I think it will especially appeal to readers who like stories about ghosts, the paranormal, and trying to fit into high school life. It's got all that good stuff, along with a spicy touch of romance.
