Student Bodies (Poltergeeks #2)
Release Date: 09/05/13
Summary from Goodreads:
Whoever said being a teenage witch would be easy? For fifteen-year-old Julie Richardson and the city’s resident protector from supernatural evil, the Left Hand Path doesn't give a damn if you've found true love for the first time in your life. There’s someone lurking the halls of Crescent Ridge High School with enough malice to unleash an epidemic of Soul Worms – supernatural larvae that feed on the very fabric of a victim’s humanity.
After witnessing the death of one of the most popular kids at school, Julie and über genius boyfriend Marcus are in a race against time to find out who is behind the attacks. All theevidence points to a horrifying plot at the City Weir during the Winter Solstice; the place where icy waters of the Bow River and a thunderous spillway will mean the deaths of more than a hundred of Julie’s classmates.
If she has any hope of saving their lives, she’ll need a little help from a coven of white witches and an Aboriginal mage whose snarky attitude is matched only by her magical prowess.

I gave the book "Student Bodies" by Sean Cummings a 3 1/2 star rating.
The second book in his series is a quick and entertaining read. For both male and female fans of the YA Paranormal genre fan.
The story is told through the eyes of 15 yr. old Julie Richardson. The story is the second in the series. The addition of Native American shamans was a fun and interesting. Tanya and her grandfather George was a great addition to the super natural force of white witches, Shadowculls, and the villainous dark arts mages that fill the mind with supernatural imagery !
The Canadian white witch Julie and her adorable best friend and newly chosen first love Marcus Guffman not only fight the evil of the dark arts, but the fight is also against an enemy that is just as terrifying... Bullying. Cyber bullying is a huge issue. The situation is brought to life in a way that will hopefully make the reader reflect on if one has ever in even the slightest way participated in the amusement as old as time itself.
I thought that Sean Cummings did a great job of interweaving an entertaining tale while simultaneously touching on numerous tough topics for teenagers. Death if a family member, the social popularity ladder, technology aiding and abetting bullying , and personal responsibility for the things you do with magic or "power".
I'm looking forward to the next book in the series . Author Sean Cummings has caught my attention . Treat yourself to a quick fun read and check out "Student Bodies "!
