Witch Hunt
5 stars
(2nd Review for June)
When I first started reading the book it felt like harry
potter, a story written for a younger person, but I was given this book by the
author for an honest review so I kept reading.
Wow. What a story, I cried so many times, not just a few
tears, at one stage I had to stop reading because it became too much for me.
The loss of a loved one in the book was so real and raw; that it felt as if the
authors own experiences had been pasted in this book. It tore at me so much.
Lauren was a woman cursed in a sense since birth, hardworking, loyal, and
loving and what she was subjected to and suffered was heart wrenching, and her vengeance
was understandable it was as powerful as her love.
The story is told mostly through the eyes of Sabrina a
healer growing up in a world where witch craft is forbidden by the Order of
Lauren. Sabrina is kind and shy, simple in ways living a protected life, with
no knowledge of who she is. Until she discovers she is a relative of Lauren a
women who is remembered incorrectly as being evil. As the story develops we see
Sabrina conquer her fears, and she grows so much it’s like watching her
transform into another person. The story
is fast paced and doesn’t slow down at all, the lands that the author creates
are haunting at times, yet so breath-taking like the forest or the city of Sha’ La’ Shang. The plot is
thick with deceit, murder and greed.
The love story between Sabrina and Micah is there through
the whole book, but it doesn’t over power the story at all, it alters the
future for Sabrina, but I can’t wait to read the second book to see where they
end up, and find out what exactly Sabrina will do now that her powers have
fully ignited.
A wonderful story, one that I would highly recommend, I applaud
the author for a tale that made me cry, squirm with unease, and made my heart
pound with anticipation.
