Bridget, freshly graduated from Ocean City High School, is now on her way to start her magic training—in Switzerland. Without Cay or Logan, who are busy looking for the Amulet, Bridget is forced to make new friends at Danann Academy. It’s just as awkward and drama-filled as any average first day of school, only now, her peers have powers. Bridget finds herself being attacked at every turn, from having her stuff set on fire to fighting off Beira’s descendants. To make matters worse, she discovers that Trip is now dating her newly sworn enemy.
Starting a new romance is the perfect escape from her magical reality. As she explores new feelings, Bridget faces a journey with someone she didn’t see coming: herself. With her half of the Amulet slowly dying, Bridget is running out of time to reunite the pieces and save the people she cares about. Will she be able to rise to the challenge and stop Trip and Beira’s descendants from plunging the world into eternal winter?
Is it too late to reconsider this whole thing?

Reviews For Brighde Redefined
The development of the characters continues in a smooth, reassuring and believable way which has a tendency to get lost in a lot of stories nowadays. As the story continues to unfold you learn more about what truly drives each character and feel their heartbreak and excitement for yourself. Great sequel!.

This series is really Captivating and engaging. I love the cover photo of this book. It is the second book in an adventurous YA series that is a mixture of Celtic mythology and Scottish folklore.
Brighde Redefined follows our strong heroine Bridget, whose character develops further in the second book after graduation. I really loved the character development of the protagonist and got to grow and explore new aspects of magic and romance with her in this coming-of-age story.
The characters are relatable, the action is engaging, the world-building is immersive and balanced between fantasy and realism, and the plot is well-crafted. I would recommend this series if you are a fan of the Crave series, Percy Jackson, or fast-paced fantasy adventure.

Ok, so first off… WOW! I want to thank the Co-Author, Leslie Sommers for giving me the privilege of escaping in this mystical, heartwarming, adventurous and inspiring sequel to her Brighde Amulet series. If you like Harry Potter and/or Percy Jackson, you will DEFINITELY enjoy this book!!
My review will be different than most. In old writing, an “Acrostic” is a form of poem that helps describe a word through contextual writing. My prompt word of choice for the review, “GROWTH.”
G Growth; relating to, how this books transformation from the first made waves of improvement through character, storyline, setting and mysteries. The mystical nature of how the story allowed you to feel like you were actually there, experiencing it with the character is beautiful in its own nature. A brilliant expansion of the many talents the author holds, and I can not wait to experience more!
R Riveting; brilliantly crafted with its ability to engross you in the setting, life and family of Bridget. The heartwarming soundtrack to her “romantic” side, and the passion felt anew after the pain of an ex. The family (friends) old and new that show the conditional love of a family, unconditionally! The adventure through her experiences, dreams, lessons and journey leaves you feeling alive!
O Original; bringing you smack dab right back into the thick of it from the first book without skipping a beat. The originality of how clever, whimsical, productive and creative her words are can not be ignored. From the first book to the next, Bridget is true to herself, but her originality blossoms into something beautiful even more than before.
W Whimsical; Bridget’s growth from the time you leave her in her high school days from the first book to now has become ever more impressive than perceived. The cleverness in her wit, the fluidity in her confidence sends chills down your spine, but adrenaline through your veins in a way to uplift you with every passing moment leaving you mesmerized from her unpredictable mannerisms.
T Transforming; as inspiration sets in on the journey ahead, the passion of how each chapter, character, setting and development on climax is so transformative. Bridget grows beautifully in herself through so much love, confidence and commitment. Each character transforms in their own way, and the adventures become more infectious, leaving you flipping pages and enjoying the ride!
H Humble; despite being an author, good people, and someone I admire, Leslie has remained more humble than most through her journey.
Bridget and the amulet series has been such an amazing experience for me. I have never touched a fantasy book in my life. She offered her book as a “gift” I never knew I wanted. I thank her for now understanding the feeling everyone gets from fiction. As a nonfiction person, I never understood the “escape.”
READ the amulet series, and allow yourself to feel the escape that now I can humbly share with others 😊!
Thank you Leslie and Janice Sommers for an amazing experience! I can not wait for the final book in your trilogy!!
