Blog Tour: Spectral by Shannon Duffy

Author: Shannon Duffy
Publisher: Tribute Books
Date of Publication: April 2012


Convinced she’s a part of the witness protection program, sixteen-year-old Jewel Rose is shuffled around the globe with her family like a pack of traveling gypsies. After arriving at lucky home twenty-seven, she stumbles upon a mysterious boy with magical powers claiming to be her guardian . . . and warning of imminent danger.



Spectral is one of the better witch stories I have read this year.  It's a fresh take on the genre.  Jewel has moved constantly her entire life.  She thinks it is because her dad witnessed a crime.  But she soon find out that she is different and they have been moving because of her.  There are a few twists in this one as Jewel tries to navigate just who to trust.  I liked Jewel's character.  She definitely becomes a stronger person in the end.  There is a sweet romance in this one and thankfully, there was really no dreaded YA love triangle that causes teen angst.  Thank you for that Ms. Duffy!  I think YA readers will find this book very entertaining.  I hope she revisits Jewel again in a future book.  I would love to see how she handles the power she has been given as the Spectral.
