After JUST BREATHE, I couldn’t wait to dive into the next book in Sarah Doughty’s wonderful urban fantasy series. Aisling Green is an Earthen witch who has just come into her powers at age twenty-one. In this book, they are in grave danger in Germany from the Kramer Scholars, who are hunting them, and also from a demon named Bannerst, who has the ability to possess Aisling and control her through her dreams. The world building in this series is absolutely phenomenal. There is a complex societal structure of witches and paranormal hunters. Every paranormal being in the world has a unique role, witches as magic users, vampires with special healing gifts, librarians as keepers of knowledge and neutral arbitrators. Everything about this world is just so well thought out and developed. I love all the characters. Connor and Aisling are so amazing to read on page together, whether it’s in urban fantasy scenes, or their romance, which is hot! I also love the side characters, especially Angela, Liam (my favorite in this book), and Shadow (a close second.) I look forward to seeing what comes next for these characters! 5/5 stars.

Storyline is around 3.5 but god there was a lot issues:
- Issues with magic not working and/or being used to try kill you? Have sex
- Running for your life and have just been fully tortured? Have sex
- In a small house full of supernatural strangers with supernatural hearing? Have sex
- In a small cabin with your werewolf friend who has just almost been murdered and therefore needs to heal and is trapped inside? Have sex
- On a plane, with many supernatural friends and acquaintances? Have sex
- Listening to a pixie mother and her family wailing with grief after you return the bodies of her dead triples? Have sex
- and not just sex, but loud, continuous sex for hours as supernatural energy
- is fully obsessed with MCs love interest’s Adam’s apple
- the first book was descriptively repetitive, this book even more so (and that’s not even including when she loses her memory and has to relearn things)
- author loves to say gods, but….
- love interest breathes? HAVE SEX
I had downloaded the full four books in this series but honestly, I just can’t do it.

Aisling’s journey is far from over. She may have defeated her childhood tormentor in “Just Breathe”, Book 1 of the Earthen Witch series, but many obstacles still stand in her way; least of which is her and Connor being captured and tortured by the Kramer Scholars.
A heavy responsibility lies on her shoulders; but she is not alone in her journey as Connor, her love and soul mate, and their friends are there to support her on yet her most dangerous battle fighting a powerful demon out to destroy the world.
Once again Author Sarah Doughty takes us on a heart-stopping and breathtaking journey in the world of Aisling Green in her second installment in the Earthen Witch series. Focus will capture you from the start, taking you through dungeons in Germany, to Austria, and then back to the U.S.
Like Book 1 (Just Breathe), the story will take you with it on the journey. You will fall in love (or hate for those evil) with the characters again and again.
I encourage you to read for yourself as you will not be disappointed ;) ;)

Absolutely loved this! Aisling reminded me so much about myself. Sarah's ability to have you make that connection with her main character is remarkable. Most of us have that selflessness in you that we'd go out of our way to protect the ones we love and when we can't its emotional mayhem.
Remarkably written Sarah! Keep up the awesome work!

"Focus" is the second installment in the THE EARTHEN WITCH novels.
Aisling and Connor face danger and explore so much more in Germany in this book. Werewolves,vampires,fairies and probably every other mythical creature you could think of is blended beautifully in this series.The location and scenes described are perfect,I've read the first book "just breathe" and I was in love with the way Sarah writes.She keeps us involved and hooked with her writing.
I'm still reading focus but so far I'm loving it.
I highly recommend this series ,it takes imagination to the next level.
UPDATE 17-september 2015
i finally finished reading the book (took me this long because of personal matters not because of the content of the book)
i must say i am left with awe, i wont give away any spoilers but boy i wish i could! if you're looking for more adrenaline and aisling/connor time with details of a love affair of certain hunky werewolf YOU NEED TO READ THIS! throw in a classic vampire and other hotties,action,sadness,love... you are in for a treat with sarah's writing.
Enough said.
Cant wait to read the next book!

Following up on Aisling quest of conquering herself and her new found abilities together with her fiance and loyal friends, Focus starts very dark.
From start to end you go through everything with her, feeling her fears and sharing her hope. It's an impossible to drop down book till the end. It flows with excitement, action, drama and romance.
If you've read Just Breathe, you'll hold your breath and devour it all in one sitting as you find out more about this very interesting world Sarah has created.
