Today we actually have two lovely reviews for this book, The Charmed, by Christine Wenrick, one by the lovely Justine and another by first time reviewer to Bex 'n' Books, Em.
The Charmed, by
Christine Wenrick, is easily the best book I have read in months! 
I enjoyed
EVERY twist and turn as the author seamlessly took me from chapter to chapter. And though
at times I got what I call the 'twilight tingles', this is NOT that book. In the
time of twenty-five chapters, I found myself more than once crying tears of
heart break, throwing fists of fury, and laughing out loud to the point my dog looked
at me as though I was disturbed. So what does that leave us with? Yes the ending,
which only left me scrambling for the second book to this trilogy. This thank
goodness it came out last month! 
The book was full of intrigue, the characters
developed gradually and fully. I became
captivated by Olivia and her flowering relationship with Caleb. The love that Caleb had for Olivia became
apparent after a few chapters, I found myself wondering (and sometimes out
loud) why Olivia hadn’t figured out Caleb’s feelings. When they had both admitted their feelings
and Olivia had managed to seduce Caleb, well the sex scenes are well written
and produce a powerful image in the readers mind.
The plot to the story is very strong, although
I did find a couple of the chapters towards the end in the forest to be a
little rushed and would have liked to have them developed more. I did have a
feeling of great satisfaction during this part of the book though, I won’t go into
too much detail as it will spoil for the readers.
The unwinding tale has you gripped, it makes
you wonder why events are happening, I found that I couldn’t put this book down
and once I had finished it I found myself wondering what would happen in the next
part.
Well
done Christine, it’s a great start to a powerful series and I eagerly await the
next instalment. 
Book one of The Charmed Trilogy.
“This has to be a dream.
This has to be a dream.
This has to be a dream.”
In The Charmed—Book One
of The Charmed Trilogy—Olivia Ann Greyson sees only one future for
herself—to compose and perform the music she has loved since she was a
child. But that future changes in an instant when a commuter train
taking her to the city crashes and is attacked by, unbelievably, a coven
of vampires! As the rabid creatures feed their thirst on the surviving
passengers, Olivia is spared from an unthinkable fate because of the
intervention of another vampire—Caleb Wolfe, a figure from her past who,
for reasons he doesn’t understand himself, would do anything to protect
her.After one familiar touch, Olivia recognizes the man behind the vampire. Soon love, and a powerful supernatural connection, begins to grow between them. But with that connection Olivia starts to notice starling changes happening within herself, and violent events make it clear that the vampire coven which wanted her the night of the train crash won’t stop until they have her.
Time is running out for Olivia and Caleb to discover why all this is happening. And the answers they find may painfully tear their new love apart.
