The Seven Spell Saga #5
The Task
The three friends and lovers unite at the request of Aristide the old wizard to whom they owe a favor.
Chloe, Oliver and Tristan have not seen each other for nearly three months and now they have gathered to hear the nature of the favor. It soon becomes clear that this is no ordinary favor and the three fall into the habit of calling this favor the task as they talk and prepare for it.
Still in love, Oliver and Chloe take up where they left off and the romantic moments are back immediately.
Tristan is so sad about the part he played in Chloe leaving the country and staying away for such a long time. Does he forgive himself?
Chloe still loves Tristan and the old dilemma of being in love with both the beautiful, immortal knight and the equally gorgeous modern guy Oliver dominates Chloe's thoughts through some bizarre incidents.
Who is Jean-Paul and what is his relationship to Aristide?
Has the magic in the waterfall always been because Tristan has special powers he does not know about or is it something much more ancient and supernatural?
Chloe faces danger from a surprising source. Time travel takes the reader to a rock concert and to the twelfth century.
There are so many romantic moments between the characters that you just know something is waiting to go wrong.
This book is about love and fate.
In book five The Task is not just about the favor owed to Aristide it is about Chloe deciding to choose between Oliver and Tristan.
The Seven Spell Saga is a love story you will want to follow to the end.

"I have to say I purposely sped up the reading on the other book I was in the middle of because I couldn't wait to read The Task. Thank you for letting me spend some time with Tristan, Chloe and Oliver again. I dove into it last night and I'm loving it!"

This is the last book published in the Seven Spell series, and I'm hoping there will be more along soon as I've come to love the characters of Chloe, Oliver and Tristan.
This book had a little more of a down to earth feel than the others in the series. Not quite as much magic as some of the earlier books, still plenty of time travel but less focus on the witchcraft, but that seemed right for the overall story arc.
And of course the time travel was as riveting as ever. As well as the fascinating Norman times introduced in the previous books, Chloe got to visit 1969.
The sixties scenes were incredibly well researched and a great social commentary of the time. I'm not quite old enough to remember 1969 firsthand, but I admit I was reading with my fingers crossed that the author would carry it off and not make any accidental anachronisms. Tessa Stokes did it brilliantly - the phone boxes, the bus fares (I had that conductor who didn't like you paying with the wrong change, so he must have still been around in the seventies). I can only imagine the amount of background research that must have gone into this book to produce something of such high quality.
By the time I was reaching the end I couldn't put the book down. I was forced by my children to break off and feed them before they reported me for neglect. I loved the choice of possible endings, but I went with the author's cut. It just felt right to me, the natural flow of the story.
If you haven't started reading the Seven Spell Saga yet, then pick up Spellbinding now and take the opportunity to lose yourself in this wonderful tale of magic and romance.

A great book, and the story is captivating. Tristan, Clhoe, and Oliver have so many adventures. This book has a "choose your ending" feature. I did not like this feature. I know some of you are choosing one or the other, she should end up with, but I think Clhoe should stay with both and stop worrying about it. Of course, that's my personal feeling. Either way, you won't want to put the book down.

The story itself is very good but the writing is a little choppy. This could be a result of translation from British english to American english.
