- Biografía breve
- Ramona Wray is not someone who always knew she wanted to be a writer. Even though she would scribble incessantly, she never considered turning her favorite pastime into a career. But at sixteen, while shooting pool with friends, she was quite amazed to hear someone on the local radio reciting one of her poems. It occurred to her then that she could aim higher than the school newspaper for publishing her literary endeavors.A few years later, she left Romania, taking nothing with her but a suitcase chock-full of dreams and her grandparents' stories about vampires, witches, faeries, and so much more. Thus equipped, she traveled the world, always writing, always adding new stories to her collection.After living in places like Vienna, Milan, and Moscow, she is now happily settled in the UK with her husband and son, where she continues to write, primarily young adult fiction.Hex, A Witch and Angel Tale is her debut novel.

And look at that cover. Isn't it just the cutest thing? I thought so, too! It's unique enough to catch your eye and still remain professional and aesthetically wonderful. I did find the cover to be a bit misleading, though, truth be told. Upon first glance it seems to exude a certain air of fluff and frill that couldn't be farther from the truth. That pretty much describes this story, too: surprising in the best possible way.
Lily Crane is an great protagonist, full of sarcastic charm and always ready with a scathing one-liner. Her inability to be physically close to people echoes the fears she has of emotional connections, as well, which only makes her more endearing. I very much enjoyed the progression of her character as she learns to trust herself and others. Ryder, the resident mysterious heartthrob of Rosemound High School, is a tall drink of water on a hot afternoon! He is just so vulnerable and romantic that you just can't help but swoon. The chemistry between these two characters leaps off the page. One of the very best parts of this book, however, is that it keeps you guessing. Once you think you've got it all figured out, Ramona shakes things up again with a few plot twists here and there that you won't see coming (at least, I didn't)!
This book is truly a breath of fresh air through the YA shelves, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you rush off to Amazon and snatch up a copy for yourselves. Be sure to drop by Ramona's website and leave her a message, too. She is such a dear and a pleasure to talk to!
CONCLUSION:
An all-around well written adventure filled with intricate mythology, witty one-liners, and romance that sizzles right off the page! Perfect for fans of Meg Cabot and Lauren Kate!… (más)
