Today the blog tour for
Glamour by Andrea Janes
is stopping at Stories & Sweeties!
Townie. That’s what
eighteen-year-old Christina Sundy is. All year round she lives in a
one-stoplight town on Cape Cod and when summer comes she spends her days
scooping ice cream for rich tourists, who she hates. So when one of them takes
a job in the ice cream shop alongside her, she’s pissed. Why does a blonde and
perky Harvard-bound rich girl like Reese Manning want to scoop ice cream
anyway?
Something else weird is happening to Christina: tiny blue sparks seem to be shooting off her fingers. It isn’t long before she realizes the truth about herself — she’s actually a powerful hereditary witch. But her newfound powers are too intense for her to handle and, in a moment of rage, she accidentally zaps Reese into another dimension.
So that no one will notice that the rich girl has disappeared, Christina casts a disguising spell, or “glamour,” and lives Reese’s life while she tries to find a retrieval spell. But as the retrieval spell proves harder than anticipated, and as she goes about living Reese’s life without anyone on the outside noticing the switch, Christina realizes that there’s nothing to stop her from making the glamour permanent… except, of course, her fellow witches, a 16th century demon, and, just maybe, her own conscience.

Glamour sounds like such an amazing book to read! Sometimes I get annoyed or mad at someone and wish I could zap that person or persons to another dimension so I totally don't blame Christina for doing that to Reese. Now I want to know if she ever finds the retrieval spell :-)
