Review for High Witch (High Witch, #1) by Mona Hanna: ★★

High Witch (High Witch, #1)High Witch by Mona Hanna

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed by Red's Midnight Readers..::

I picked up a free ecopy of this from Amazon. It's the first book in a series of 3, following the characters Ariel and Brayden.
Brayden has been having strange and vivid dreams of a girl and one night this girl walks into the Inn that he is working at. Ariel is shy and doesn't interact with anyone other than Brayden until she accidentally casts a spell on one of the other guests.

Discovering she has fled an agreed marriage, Brayden tells her she is a high witch. One of only three that can exist at the same time as each other. Brayden helps her to control her powers after they find out that Ariel is being hunted by a dark warlock and his wife, who will stop at nothing to capture Ariel and use her for their own needs.

So this book was not my cup of tea. The cover is pretty though, isn't it? I really, really wanted to love it but i just didn't. Like most people i love the idea of the witch story line and felt the author let it down. This book could have been so much more!
It doesn't grab me and keep my attention. I couldn't get into it but luckily it's a fairly short novella, so doesn't require a lot of time to read it.
I felt the writing fell a little flat but it's ok for a free book. I wouldn't recommend it.

I gave it 2 stars.




Blurb

Brayden dreams for thirty nights, tortured by the vision of a beautiful woman. When Ariel Williams walks into his inn, he sees that she's the one he's been obsessed with in his night time journeys. But Ariel is fleeing an arranged marriage and keeps shyly to herself, until the worst happens and by mistake she casts a spell on a guest. Brayden works with Ariel to help her control her magic but discovers she's a High Witch - one of only three witches in the world with a rare kind of power.

Immediately the two must flee; evil warlock Julius wants to enslave Ariel - mind, heart and body. Julius and his lover the High Witch Nadia will stop at nothing to capture Ariel, and the danger threatens to tear Ariel apart from Brayden. Ariel's only hope is that her love for Brayden and her newly-discovered powers are strong enough to save them.


This is a NOVELLA of approximately 25,000 words.
