Revealers

Reader reviewed by sammyjones57

From the start of this story you are thrown right into Jules's life. One that I don't think I would really like - being woken up at 2 AM to go take down a werewolf/demon/ghost...just whatever happens to be lurking the streets that night. Only to have to wake up a few hours later and face high school. So who could really blame her when she starts asking a lot of questions, ones that as I read, I was asking myself.

The other girls and Jules's friends are ones that are easily catchy as well. You might even be able to relate some of your friends to them. Even the leader who is a major bleep sometimes I had to love here and there. You can immediately tell through the dialogue what attitudes they hold. Although I do wish Marrone would write a little less dialogue and more descriptive writing here and there.

Now I don't want to do any major spoilers, which is hard to do considering what happens when the plot starts rolling. But all the things that are going on in the coven - the things that the girls don't find out until their eighteen birthday had me going woah wait, what?! Once you hit the middle of this book, you better stay on your toes. There are twists and turns that I didn't predict coming and I was pleasantly surprised!

This might just be me, but since I read her last book Uninvited not too long ago with the main character being named Michael - seeing the exact name repeated in this book threw me off. I kept thinking of the other Michael instead of the one in this book. But all in all it was a good read, so go check it out!

I enjoyed reading a paranormal book that wasn't about vampires or faeries which seem to be what's popular nowadays. I'm a Sabrina the Teenage Witch fan, so it was fun reading about witches for once. I also like that the girls already had their powers and it wasn't about a girl suddenly discovering she had powers and how to deal. I like that the action could start right away. The only problem I had was a small contradiction (or rather an exception, perhaps, that wasn't fully explained). Also, one character doesn't really fight for themselves in the end and I wasn't sure why (I have my theories but I'm leaving this spoiler free).

Revealers is the story of a group of young revealer witches. In addition to troubles with grades, boys, and fighting amongst themselves, they also have to deal with a night job: slaying vampires, werewolves, and ghosts.

I thought this book was fairly good. I enjoyed the plot and subject matter. However, some of the characters made questionable choices. Overall, the book was an enjoyable read.

Jules and her good friends Dani, Sascha, Zahara, and Margo arent just your ordinary clique of teenagers; they belong to a coven of Revealer witches and have the power to make certain supernatural creatures reveal themselves so that these dangerous beasts can be destroyed. But at the age of eighteen, each girl is initiated into the covens inner circle. But this ceremony isnt all that its cracked up to be, at least, it seems this ways to Jules after having watched three of her friends come out changedand not for the better. It turns out that theres a big secret the mothers of these young witches have kept from their daughters, a secret that could tear the world as they know it apart. Its something that if they dont follow to the tiniest detail, one of them could be lostforever.

Revealers is a fast-paced and interesting story about supernatural beings such as witches, werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and demons. The story started off strong, because I was intrigued by the covens duty to destroy all the dangerous supernatural creaturesbasically everything that isnt human except for themselves. I found myself becoming skeptical about the origins of the covens strange traditions, as Jules did during the story, but I did not like the lack of details when the big secret was revealed. The secret itself was not the issue, but the fact that people could actually agree to its conditions blew my mind. Also, the solution to this problem was a bit unrealistic as the secret was; it came way too easily. I would think that after such a horrific secret, fixing it would be a little harder than it was in this story. Despite the slightly disappointing ending, Revealers was an quick and enjoyable story with action, magic, and a touch of romance.

Revealers was good, but I definitely would not consider it anywhere near great. I recommend this for fans of the supernatural, especially teen girls who like books about magic.
