Teaser Tuesdays: Taken, by Charlotte Abel
This is an archived post, originally published on Hope, Love, and Peace (blog.jtimothyking.com).
I’m still collecting and writing up my thoughts on Enchantment, Charlotte Abel’s first novel. However, I’ve already peeked into the sequel, available as an ebook, Taken, a magical YA paranormal romance.
What I’ve seen so far encourages me, as I immensely enjoyed its predecessor. So even though I’m not officially reading it, and even though I’m not yet ready to write a review, today I’m quoting a snippet from a random location (chosen by Random.org)—or thereabouts—from the YA novel Taken:
Aunt Wisdom handed the jar of magically enhanced calendula, aloe and rosehip ointment to Channie. “Dab a little of that on your face.”
Aunt Wisdom had the ability to heal Channie and Josh’s damaged skin with magic, but as a master-healer it was her responsibility to conserve her energy for real emergencies. Ordinarily, she’d turn the treatment of frostbite over to one of her apprentices. Like me. The thought formed a lump in her throat.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. I’m trying a variation on the mainstream “Teaser Tuesdays” concept. Instead of quoting two sentences from a random page in the book, I’m selecting a snippet that reflects qualities I find in the book.
