A Little Bit Funny, A Little Bit Romantic, with a Wicked Side of Supernatural Trouble- Witches of The Demon Isle.
Melinda Howard is the Demon Isle's weird girl... the one that's been holed up in the Howard Mansion for the last four years. Why? No one knows the truth except for her family... a long line of witches charged with protecting the Demon Isle, currently led by four hundred year old vampire, William Wakefield. Another reason Melinda doesn't mind her self-inflicted imprisonment. She gets to spend more time with William, her crush for nearly all her life who's too hot for words. And now, so are her dreams.
Dreams that have a tendency to come true. Although typically, they don't include the handsome vampire she's crushing on but rather horrifying visions of people about to die.
But she cannot stay under self-inflicted house arrest forever! And if her brothers or William get their choice in the matter, Melinda will be out of the house partying with her friends on the beach, giving her affections to a human, not a vampire, and getting into her role as a witch.
A role her eldest brother Charlie lives for, and a role her second brother Michael would rather live without. But when duty calls, usually from the local sheriff needing help with some tourist who's gotten themselves into trouble, life, fun and choice get set aside and duty takes over.
Such is the case when the sheriff needs help solving a murder; one she fears is supernatural in nature. To assist her in the case, she calls upon the skills of Charlie, who's a little more than just a Howard Witch, and Michael, an empath and death reader.
What Michael discovers from the reading however, could be more than any of them can deal with or accept. Worse yet, they fear what this discovery will do to Melinda, as it returns them all to the core of her self-imprisonment.
It’s like the author tried too hard to write a part for every mythical species and forgot all about grammar, story cohesion, and even forgot the main character’s names. That all being said, I obviously read the whole thing. It could have been done much better, but it was still an entertaining read.
This isn't even one complete story, let alone 3! Minor typos. This "series" goes over two and a half days on an island with magical beings and a family of witches. But you never find out what is REALLY going on. This was a waste of an afternoon. Don't bother with this one.
Volume 1, I have read before. I tore through my stuff to see if I wrote anything about it, I did not. :( More and likely I read this waiting for the next Fated Saga Book to come out. I do have the tendency to get hooked on a series and the other things an Author writes doesn’t hold for me. This is where I can be labeled a “Snob”.
I was happy to pick this Box set up, and to get to know the Howards’ and William all over again.
Rachel’s writing is something I call my brain crack. In which my mind can slip from character to character easily.
So In volume 1 you get a nice set up of the characters, place, and the main plot line, with a great dose of mystery. If you have only Volume 1, do yourself a favor and get the others since volume 1 leaves you hanging!
“What Bites Me”
WOW! Fast Paced and Nail biting! So Much happens to the Howard Siblings in one day. I want to say more. Alas I fear It might spoil the ride. I will state this about Volume 2 it leaves you hanging also! Who knew three little dots could be so mean!
“Trick Me, Trick Me Not”
Can the Howards ever catch a break. Well if they did it would be slightly boring spot as the plot twists and thickens. New Supernaturals are introduced. At least when when Volume 3 leaves with yet another hanger, it answers a question. Granted I went “DUH!” when it happened.
My conclusion in this…… Witches Of The Demon Isle Box set Has kept me Highly entertained for a Day. I love these types of tiny books. Makes having a nice cup of coffee so enjoyable!
To be a Howard Witch means your life belongs to the Isle
The Demon Isle is a tourist attraction for those interested in the supernatural, real magic does exist there. The source of magic is on the Isle and protected by the Howard family, though none know where it is actually located. Michael wants to leave the Isle , Charlie doesn't want to be controlled by his wolf and Melinda is finally getting out of the house when all Hell breaks loose. Giant bloodsuckers, evil mermaids, and ghosts turn everything upside down in a week. Free download
Not a bad book, not great either but still injoyable and fun to read. Not much I can really say, very short not a lot to talk about but would still recommend. I think I would have liked it more at a diffrent time and in a diffrent mood. Also certain things were just ovious to me the characters didn't see so that was a bit of a detractor but not unbarbale to read.
Riddled with mistakes (simple ones like new and knew to larger ones like misnamimg one of the main characters) that distract you from a plot that just never has any problems resolved. I get that it's a series but something should be resolved in a book before more problems arise.
The book was interesting and the characters were great. I enjoyed the ride of emotions, with so many twists and turns in the book; you'll not be able to put it down. Can're go wrong on the price either?
Very interesting....I enjoyed the books immensely. I enjoy when you can picture in your mind the scenes as if you're watching a movie. Not all books do that for me...this one did. Can't wait for the next one.
All I have to say is that I loved it. I only got this book to pass time but it has become a favorite. I know for sure that I Will be finishing the rest of this series to see what happens.
I liked it a lot it has so much details. I would like to read this series more often. It is cool I get this experience with to read crazy amazing books like this.
