The Forever Girl by Rebecca HamiltonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sophia Parsons is 22 and a practising Wiccan. She works as a waitress and is a local outcast under the suspicion of involvement in local murders (which she was not) but all she cares about is stopping a static she hears all of the time. She tries to stop it with a spell but it changes to be voices instead (which is even more distracting). She meets a new friend called Charles and falls for him as he starts to help her investigate the hanging of her ancestor. She soon discovers that her survival depends on not asking too many questions and staying off the radar of the council of immortals however it seems she crossed that a long time ago so in order to survive and keep those she loves safe she will have to embrace her true nature and perform some dark magic as part of a fight to the death.
This is a mixed story - some of it is great and I really enjoyed it, but some of it was a bit tedious and felt like too much of an aside. I know that it was necessary background of her ancestor and the events that happened but in parts it was a bit long and I got a bit bored - I think it could have been a bit shorter and so kept my attention better. On the whole it was well written and a very enjoyable story. I was certainly pulling for Sophia and Charles and desperately hoping they would succeed and find a way to be together forever.
