Old Magic-Marianne Curley

Kate Warren knows that Jarrod Thornton has something supernatural about him and she's right because about ten minutes later he's in a catatonic trance as a storm blows though the classroom. Jarrod isn't convinced and he thinks Kate is crazy.

Kate takes him to meet her grandmother, Jillian and Jarrod brings over his family's book of ancestors. Kate discovers that Jarrod's family has been cursed for centuries. Jillian figures out a way to send them back in time with her magic. They go back to when the sorcerer who created the curse was alive. Jarrod must kill Rhauk. Jarrod and Kate meet Jarrod's ancestors and claim to be the Lord's oldest brother's younger son and the son's wife. Kate is kidnapped by Rhauk later and she decides to stay for Jarrod's own good and Jarrod trains to defeat Rhauk. Will he get Kate back and break the curse? Find out!

This book is set in Australia at first and then they travel back to medieval England. It's was a good book, but vocab can get confusing in it.

Token of Darkness-Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Ever since the eight-car pile up that Cooper was in, he has been haunted by a color coordinationally challenged ghost of a teenage girl. He also can see shadows and can push people out of their body. Samantha (the "ghost" that can't remember he past) wants to be alive. Cooper goes to the library to see if he can figure out how to help her. There he meets Brent. Brent can read minds and he dated Delilah who was a friend of Cooper. Delilah practices sorcery. Brent takes Cooper to Ryan le Coire, a very powerful sorcerer who may be able to help him. Delilah figures out that Samantha is a water elemental with no idea of what she is. Delilah ends up in the hospital after almost drowning because she tried to exchange mortality with Samantha. There's a bit of a body mix up and the ending, I cannot say.
Honestly, one of the funniest and most exciting books by this author. It's only 197 pages long and I read it in one day. I really loved it and recommend it. It's supernaturally awesome!
