Review:
As I finished
reading this book, I have a few mixed feelings. I love the story
concept, but felt it could have been better. The book starts
off fast and stays that way until the end, I loved this. I like when
the charters take you on a wild ride. I love our heroine, Sophrina.
She is an experienced and learned woman. Full of whit that makes you
want to smile. Sophrina is a witch in the Crone stage of life, the
most powerful of the three. A maiden witch is just learning what she
is. A mother witch knows what her gifts and learns to use them. A
crone witch becomes more powerful with age. She struggles with fears
of her past while trying to help the young maiden witch Charlie.
Charlie is a maiden witch who has not a clue what she is or how
dangerous it is for a witch to be in the service of a vampire.
Hagen, our 2,000 year old vampire, has
had much experience in keeping witches with him for service their
gifts. Hagen has never encountered a witch like Sophrina,
who will talk about and give her opinions. She questions him,
and demands thing, while trying to figure out how to get away.
I enjoyed this book, for it moved
fast. I like the main and secondary charters. I love the
wittiness that pops up all over the book. I was, however left
wanting more when I finished.
