This took me awhile to get in to, but I'm glad I stuck with it...mostly.I found Ryanne fairly irritating and was appalled to hear she's reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe as a senior in high school. Not really sure what relevance that would have to a 17/18 year old or a public school but fine.There's lots and lots (and lots) of guys interested in Ryanne. And magic. But mostly lots and lots of boys interested in Ryanne.Anyhow, in all honesty, the storyline does get more interesting and Ryanne does prove to be a strong character. I'm not sure she's written realistically, but considering the content of the book, that's kind of a moot point.Not sure about #2 (maybe if free...). The Prophesized Series by Kaitlyn HoytThis series is what I imagine ambrosia to taste like, you know unattainable to mere mortals, addictive, wonderful, magical with upper tones of spice and dashes of sweet, something that will burn going down but leave you begging for more, something so amazing that you will gladly except the fire just to have that silky dreamy feeling spread through your whole body, yes like that but so much more. Ryanne is my freaking hero not because she can be super bad ass but because she's real, like prone to mini melt downs like us normal people!! She's loves super hero's (who doesn't right) and the Big Bang Theory!!! Omg'sh right it's like taking a peek into your life minus the fact she's got more magic then she knows what to do with, but that's not going to stop her from trying, trying to stop a villain and his followers and protect the family of her heart. Colton I wanted to smack him upside the head or give him a stern talking to but Emma had my back on that one and then there is David who doesn't love extended brothers right!!! Then you have even more amazing characters like Liam, Larken, Tom, Aunt Claire and I can't leave out our beloved Logan, and there is many more wonderful characters whom Kaitlyn brings to life that for me lives in my heart and my mind. Every book but the last one will end in a CliffHanger but don't freak because all the books are available, you lucky, lucky readers!! Lol I had to wait and that was sooooo very hard to do with this series, I knew when each book would come out yet I checked every week like it would magically change.. {True Story} I am not going to give a single thing away because you all deserve to read this series!!! Let me say I love the characters in these books, each book makes you fall deeper and deeper, they end up taking up a beloved spot in your mind. (Except The bad guy ;) In the Prophesized Series Ryanne will teach you that this world is not always black and white and that sometimes the grey areas need love too, by the end of the series you will go from shock, happiness, grief, anger, pain, sadness and joy!! Or at least I did!! I never regretted buying this series and to date I have read each book a total of eight times, yep eight times I have gotten to read my beloved series. Ryanne and Colton, now there is a epic story!!! Each character has a story within this story each person has a voice that is heard throughout the entire series, they are not background noice. The Prophesized Series is about Ryanne changing from who she was, to who's she becoming to who she will one day be she grows with each book, she becomes more then Ryanne she turns into the flame, and so much more!! If you love paranormal romance then I highly recommend this series, Five Stars for sure. I was not paid or given a copy of this book for my review this pleasure was all my own doing!!EnjoyLaura
