Which (Witch) Sister Are You?

Between your wonderful comments and the great reviews for Betraying Season, Marissa is really feeling the love this week! Booklist, the review magazine for the American Library Association, says, “As in the previous book, this is a full-bodied story that wonderfully combines elements of romance, fantasy, and history....Whether Doyle is describing the Irish countryside, a magical incantation, or a lover's kiss, her writing is compelling, and it will be hard for readers not to be swept away by this invigorating story."

Kirkus, which can be one tough reviewer said, “The mixture of historical detail and magic makes this...another page-turner...."

And VOYA, the journal for librarians, educators, and other professionals who work with young adults , said, “Seamlessly weaving elements of historical fiction, romance, and magic, Doyle creates believable characters in a realistic setting set in a fascinating plot. Extremely well written and utterly delightful, this book should appeal to female readers fourteen and older."

How cool is that!

So, in honor of Betraying Season’s debut, we offer you a quiz. Many of you know that the heroines of Marissa’s books are twin sisters with unique personalities. Which personality is most like yours?
