Introduction to Vance Mangum 101
Vance Mangum. Just rolls off the tongue doesn't it? Give me a moment to gather myself because at the mere thought of his name, my heart starts racing and my knees weaken. Sigh. Ok where was I - oh yes, Vance Mangum. The book world has a new bad boy and what a bad boy he is. The first image you get of Vance is him wearing a leather jacket outside of school, leaning up against his motorcycle. Can you see him? Ok now add amazing blue eyes, a rock hard body and a smile that will drive you crazy. He has a wicked sense of humor and like all bad boys, has a tortured and mysterious past. Oh and did I mention he has magical powers? Yep, I can hear your heart beating faster from here. Delicious huh? Right from that first moment of meeting him, Vance grabs hold of your heart and embeds himself deeply. He's the boyfriend you always wish you had in high school, the boy who when he walks into a room everything reduces down to a whisper and you find yourself drawn to him. He finds your eyes and with that smirk that melts your insides, he walks to you, letting everyone know that you're the one he wants and that to him, no one else matters. Everyone else may think they "know" him but you do - he's devoted, loyal and completely into you. It also doesn't hurt that he kisses like the devil and that he has the ability to scramble your brain with that incredible sexy raised eyebrow. He's the reason why you get up in the morning, why you find yourself with a goofy grin on your face and why you find yourself doodling your name and his wrapped in a heart whenever there is a pen nearby. He is irresistable and 100% unforgetable
I know, I know. You're thinking right now "Why are you showing me a picture of Vance when this is about some Matt Lanter dude?" Patience my dear friend, patience. Confusing as it may seem, this is in fact THE Matt Lanter and THE inspiration behind Vance. Matt is the reason why the author wrote such a delicious bad boy and if you want to see all those hot Vance expressions and swagger, watch Matt. Want to know what Vance would sound like when he whispers to Portia..

I'm a HUGE reader and the best books are always those where the character seems to jump off the page and become real. You get caught up in their story, their thoughts and feelings and if the story is told right, the characters have a lasting effect on the reader. When I began reading The Trouble With Spells (book 1 of the series) my hope was that it was a good read and that I would find the story and characters believable. Three hours later, I'm left with a finished book and a HUGE gap in my heart. All I could think was 1. What the heck just happened and 2. Where do I have to go to get more Vance. I know that I'm not the only one to think it either. So what did happen?
