I apologize for the very bad gist above. I have not read this book in a long time so I tried to write from what I remember. I liked this book better than Blue is for Nightmares. I think that she evolved the characters much more in this book than in the first book. I also loved the character of Jacob, he is probably one of my favorite characters ever in a series. Unlike Edward, he has flaws and isn’t afraid to admit to them. The other thing that I liked about this book was that they brought back her past with the little girl that she used to babysit. In the first book she left it very open ended about what happened with her so I was ecstatic when she decided to write the whole book basically about Maura. With almost every book though you get some negatives. The one thing that really bothered me in this book was Chad. He was extremely awkward while dating Stacey in this book. I’m not sure why he was just the way he acted around Stacey was just very strange and it seemed as he was trying to make the relationship work when both of them knew it wouldn’t. Other than the awkwardness between Stacey and Chad I really enjoyed this book and if you liked Blue is for Nightmares then you guaranteed to love White is for Magic.

I read this almost immediately after reading Blue is for Nightmares, because I had liked that book so much and couldn’t wait to see what happened next to Stacey and her friends. I was excited for Stacey about her romance with Chad and I thought it was the cutest thing in the world. I’d been rooting for them all along and now they were finally together. YAY. And then there was Jacob. And all thought of Chad flew out the window. I mean, Chad was cute and sweet…but I prefered Jacob. Mysterious (how cliche of me to say that). Secretive. And all that jazz. Yeah, so anyways the addition of Jacob as a character made the book interesting. Because it would be too easy if everything was happy happy joy joy with Stacey and Chad. Jacob adds the jealousy conflict and is just a good all around character. That was a really long rant on Jacob alone. Creepy. Oh well. He was a good character! Continuing with all that is character Stacey was as dependable as ever and Dara was as…I dunno. There’s really no way to describe her. Dara was just as Dara as in the first book. Which is good. She’s a great best friend character. Amber and PJ were just as random and crazilly loveable. Love them. Now with the plot: I really liked it. I thought it made the perfect sequel plot to the first book. Now instead of Dara being attacked its…well read and see! I always love Stacey’s psychic dreams. They’re creepy and haunting. Just like the plot. It’s kinda creepy (and book about a stalker would have to be just a little bit creepy) but not I-stay-awake-at-night-scared-out-of-my-mind type creepy. Just the right level of creepy-ness. One thing I honestly loved about the plot was the fact that it wasn’t an almost exact copy of the first book. So many series now are pointless because they basically just repeat the first book’s plot over and over with more/different characters of another venue or something. Which is exceedingly stupid. But not this series. This series has substance. The plots are similar in that they’re creepy and about kinda-stalkers, but they differ enough that you’re never bored when you’re reading them. You always want to keep reading just to see what happens next and you really grow to love the characters. I have to say I agree with the North Star in saying I liked this even more than I liked Blue is for Nighmares. That doesn’t mean I didn’t like Blue is for Nightmares, just that I liked this book even better. So if you liked Blue then you were certainly LOVE White is for Magic.
