What a great book!

I enjoyed this book so much as, for me, it ticked all the boxes. There’s a well constructed plot, great characters (including the main character’s mother who is deliciously, hideously appalling), plenty of adventure, a frisson of sexual tension, and humour too.

The story initially depicts witches as a breed apart, something inhuman, and as we all must know a witch or two in real life we understand that this isn’t the case, but let the author do her work and let the story develop – you’ll see it’s a good one.

To go into a few details, “Hunter” is a 7th Generation Witch Hunter (real name Astley) who is a member of an organisation dedicated to the containment – by any means possible – of witches. Not harmless Wiccan wannabees but, real bad witches.  But he finds that he’s up against the Shadow Witch, who is a formidable opponent intent on restoring evil power to the world and he may have met his match.
