In the young adult fantasy series Wicked special edition books, published exclusively for Barnes and Noble, you get two books for the very reasonable price of one. The first, Wicked, includes the novels Witch, first published in 2002, and Curse, published in 2003. Wicked 2 includes Legacy and Spellbound, both published in 2003.
The Wicked series is about Holly, Nicole, and Amanda as each girl discovers their witch family heritage. Through the books you see their loves, struggles with the forces of good and evil, and watch as they transform into powerful witches.
In Witch you meet Holly Cathers, a normal high school student who is on white water-rafting vacation with her parents and best friend. When these three are killed in an accident, Holly goes to live with her Dad’s sister. Holly has never heard anything of her aunt, her parents never speaking of that side of the family tree.
Holly moves from her family home in San Francisco to her aunt’s home in Seattle, where she meets her cousins Nicole and Amanda. Holly soon realizes that her beautiful Aunt Marie-Claire and willful cousin Nicole are the stars of the family, with her Uncle Richard and cousin Amanda in the supporting roles. But with Holly’s arrival everything begins to balance out.
The three girls soon learn a little of their family history. The old Cathers family name was Cahors, an ancient witching family, but it was changed when the last of the line fled to America. Soon they are practicing magic, at first small blessings, but quickly moving on to defensive spells.
Meanwhile. Michael Deveraux, a prominent warlock, is planning the downfall of the young Cathers witches. For centuries the two families have been locked in a blood feud. Michael is determined to end it with the death of every Cathers witch.
Michael has pushed his son Eli into dating Nicole to get closer to the family. His other son, Jer, has refused to become involved in the evil that his brother and father have made their lives. He soon realizes that the Cathers’ women are in trouble and forms a rebel coven to try and protect them.

All four of the books from the Wicked series are amazing. They are now in my top five favorite books ever. Although the way you left the last book leaves me thinking there will be another one. If not i would be really upset because there are so many loose ends to tie. For instance, when ann louise finds out that Alex is not really Alex. and what about Nicoles child? please, please write a third book.

Well, not to be critical or anything, but I ended come across 5 or 6 mistakes within the book Wicked: Witch and Curse. Unintentionally of course. Other than those few mistakes within the first half of the book, I enjoyed it very much.

I absolutely loved the books. Just finished spellbound last night actally. Kind of disappointed in how it ended though, unless there is another book on the way. Too many open ends for the entire series to have ended that way.
14 - Caity
I LUV the series Wicked. its like one of the best series ive ever read. I think you should really write some more. PLEASE!!! there are so many things that have to be answered.
15 - Paige
I love this series a lot. And I just finished Spellbound last night, actually, and today i went in search for the next one, to fine you hadn't written one! I was so disappointed, so I really hope you do write another. I want to know whose baby Nicole's was because I didn't think you made that very clear. And I would also like to know who Alex was, and I would really like to have Jer and Holly together.

I just finished Spellbound, and my heart is racing. I came online to see if there was a Book 3, so I'm sure you can imagine my horror at the fact that there isnt.
Who is Nicole's "baby-daddy"?
Since Michael is dead, Holly isn't in thrall to him anymore, is she?
Is Holly really going to take off with Alex?
WHO IS ALEX?????
Is Isabeau still in Holly? Is she going to let Holly give up on Jer? Is Jean going to let Jer give Holly up to Alex?
Why didn't Isabeau recognize that Alex wasn't who he said he was?
WHEN IS BOOK 3 COMING???

You didn't write these books. Obviously I'm the only one that read that this was written by a Mrs. McNeill. NOT Nancy Holder OR Debbie Viguie. While I agree they're both FANTASTIC books, I wish more people knew how to SEE what they read. OI!

i loved the books but u have to at least make a 5 wicked novel or else there will be too many questions and i think that is not the way you should end a series

21 - Shanequa

22 - Nick
OMG! I love Wicked! But I mad at the end of Spellbound when the whole ending just dropped, please don't have Eli really be dead! He just took a stab in the shoulder, just brush it off :) I hope he is the father of Nicole's baby! GO ELI! lol When is the next book coming out? The others are great, but I want to know what happens next! ^_^

not to be mean gavinmorningstar but if you look closer Mrs. McNeill wrote the book review. nancy holder and debbie viguie did infact write the books. :]]

I just finished Wicked: Witch & Curse. Wow! What a great series. Now I have to find Wicked 2: Legacy & Spellbound. BUT I see all of the other pleas to tie up loose ends from Spellbound and write a 5th book to the series.
Let me add my voice to these requests. How could you leave so many fans hanging like this??? Of course, you should know the power of 5, and the importance of completing this series.
Sign me,
A new fan of the Wicked series

gavinmornigstar you are awesome. mc, if YOU look closer, gavinmorningstar meant that everyone who posted before him was talking TO nancy and debbie, who probably aren't going to read this.
also, i loved wicked! i hope they finish writing the next books soon.
