Doyle, Marissa Bewitching Season, 346 p. Henry Holt, 2008.
MS - OPTIONAL
Persephome "Percy" Leland and her twin sister Penelope "Pen", have been taking the regular deportment lessons, in order to prepare them for life among the English aristocracy, but their course of classes also includes training for their magic powers. Tongue-tied and totally in love with her neighbor, Lochinvar, but is devastated by rumors that his mother was killed by a witch. In London for their first Season, the girls' tutor is kidnapped and the girls are thrown into a plot to control Victoria, the heir to the throne. Only with quick wits, the aid of Lochinvar and inexplicably their little brother Charles, can the girls hold off the enemy and save the soon to be queen.
I have to admit that Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer did a better job of creating a magical romance with a whole lot of depth. Analogy - this book is about magic as much as Twilight is about vampires. But, for those who enjoy lighter fare, this book still has plenty of charm.
