The Witches of Santa Anna: Ruined by Lauren Barnholdt

Just as Natalia feared, Raine had kidnapped Aiden and Cam.  She had plans to make Cam hers forever and to kill Aiden, but thanks to Natalia's newfound powers she was able to save them both.  Natalia is now with Cam and is happy things are finally over, but Brody gives her warning to still stay away from him.  He said that Natalia being with Cam will start a war and that Brody's goal is peace. 

This was the seventh book in the series and the last one I had downloaded.  They're still good.  I don't mind the series at all.  At the end there is a book from another series by Lauren Barnholdt so I'll probably read that next, since it's there.  I think it's from her series Playing With Fire and the first book is called Ember.  Watch out for it :)

The Witches of Santa Anna: Pursued and Enticed by Lauren Barnholdt

The war with the triad continues and Cam and Natalia continue to see each other in secret, but they keep discovering more information.  Like why does Natalia's ex have pictures of all of them on his camera?  Or why was Brody's sister with Natalia's ex when she should be in rehab?  And why could Natalia control people like Raine did when she was holding the mysterious white butterfly necklace she thinks her ex put in her bag?  Natalia is sick of having no answers and finally corners Brody.  Brody confirms Natalia's fears about Raine, but promises he can protect her.  So should she trust him.  The homecoming dance is fast approaching and it seems like it will be a night to remember.

The story keeps getting better and better.  I'm totally hooked at this point.  I blow through them.  I can read a whole book in one sitting, not that it's super long.  I also really like the covers for these books.  I'm not sure who all of them are supposed to represent, but they all have some aspect of the story represented in them.

The Witches of Santa Anna: Rumored and Hushed by Lauren Barnholdt

Again, I'm going to summarize two books together.  They're too short, it doesn't make sense to do them seperately.

Cam and Natalia acknowledged their feelings for each other.  The day after, the Triad, starts befriending Natalia and Cam and Brody make amends and Cam starts to think maybe they shouldn't rock the boat.  But after a weird incidence at the spa, Becca claims Natalia punched her.  The whole school knows and Natalia is again an outcast.  The idea is also put in Cam's head by a friend that maybe Raine and the Triad aren't quite normal and that they're doing something to him that makes him so weak.  And after spying on the Triad, Cam knows that it's true; and that they want to hurt Natalia, too.

Well, I was right about my suspicions about the book series name.  These books finally unveiled an inkling as to why they are the Witches of Santa Anna.  It's turning into a cool idea and I'm interested to see what happens, seeing as there are 19 books in the series so far and I'm only on book 5.

The Witches of Santa Anna: Claimed and Tricked by Lauren Barnholdt

This is for books 1 and 2.  I didn't realize I had gone through two books.  I'm still getting used to my Kindle.  I bought books 1-7 for $0.99, but I haven't gotten used to how it transitions to the next book.  Also because I don't remember what happened in each book I will combine the summaries into one.

Natalia starts at a new school, after having some trouble with her ex boyfriend and rumors at her previous school.  On her first day, she meets Cam, a popular, attractive boy, but who seems to be spoken for by Raine, the in house mean girl.  Soon after Cam's friend, Brody, swoops in on Natalia, making almost every situation an awkward double date because Cam and Natalia obviously have feelings for each other.  Despite this nothing changes.  Natalia's ex-boyfriend has also started to make appearances at local restaurants and even at her school, trying to talk to her about what happened at her old school. 

The books are definitely quick reads, as are most of Lauren Barnholdt's books, but this series seems to have promise.  I'm currently on the third book and while I have my theories, I still don't know why the series is called the Witches of Santa Anna.  But I'm curious and will keep reading.  The books haven't lost my interest or anything.  I like the writing in this series better than "At the Party."  Worth the money to get on your kindle if you have one. :)
