Reviews

[Elizabeth Holland]

What a brilliant book to end a wonderful series! Where do I start with my this review? It's sad to be closing the book on this series, but I'm so glad I found it. The series started with characters that immediately pulled you in and played on your heartstrings. We've watched them grow and become their true selves. This book had me on the edge of my seat on many occasions. With twists I really didn't see coming.

It's very well written. You'll soon find yourself so engrossed in the story that don't notice yourself turning the pages.

For anyone that loves a romance, a supernatural read, or just a book that will offer an escape whilst still confronting real life.


(P.S., would love to explore Iris and Katie's story in the future.)

For me, I had mixed feelings when opening this book: I have loved the series so much that I was sad it was coming to an end ... yet I was excited to see if Clarence and Alba got their happily ever after. Alton creates such beautiful images with her lyrical prose, and I loved the touches of humour throughout, which have become a signature piece to her writing. I was unprepared for some unusual alliances that needed to happen along the way, so I loved that the author kept me guessing as I eagerly turned the next page. Thank you, Eva Alton, for a fantastic series. I have enjoyed immersing myself in the world of Emberbury, and I hope that this is really not the end ... maybe there will be a spin off with one of the other characters? Please? Haha! A delightful journey which earns an easy 5 stars from me!

This is how you do vampire/paranormal romance! No extreme foul language, no explicit sex scenes, no zero-focus on blood and gore, just characters you have grown to love because of their personalities, what they've gone through, how they love others (in their own way), their charm, wittiness, and humor. This final book REALLY amps up the danger and concern for beloved characters (be prepared to have your heart drop for a bit in the middle of the story) but it all wraps up in a pretty ending--although bittersweet because it's over.
(Though there were some threads left dangling and something needed clarified for me--it seemed unnecessary--those weren't big enough problems that took me out of the story.)

WITCHES' ELEMENTS - OUT JULY 14, 2022!



I'm so excited about the very last book in this series! So many secrets unveiled... finally everything makes sense! Don't miss the ending of The Vampires of Emberbury.

"Darkness is not so dark when you are what lurks in the shadows.
Darkness, in fact, was supposed to be our happy place as vampires; unless you were me and couldn’t shed all sorts of human habits, such as turning on the lights at night or brushing your fangs with toothpaste. And even though Clarence had been very supportive and kept telling me all those quirks were extremely amusing and endearing, they upset me because they were proof that I was still stuck in my old, mortal mindset, and I had made no visible progress since my turning.
Staying in central London, with its crowded streets and many temptations, wasn’t helping the learning curve either. I struggled to juggle my constant thirst and the imperative need to be cautious; killing someone by accident would have been dreadful, but not worse than having them run away with forbidden memories of my actions.
Standing under the shower, I rubbed off the blood spatters scattered all over my body; messy testimonies of yet another hunting trip gone wrong. Being a civilized vampire was harder than it appeared, and I was feeling discouraged that evening―if my witchcraft skills had been average, the vampire ones were clearly substandard―and sometimes, borderline atrocious.
“What are you up to, Isolde?” Clarence asked, peering into the bathroom and checking the time on his pocket watch. “I thought you wanted me to show you around London tonight.” He had changed into a vintage burgundy robe and matching slippers, and finished the look with a rolled black-and-white newspaper.
“Where did you get that robe?” I shouted from the bathtub. “Did you just time travel from 1880?”
“1798, my darling,” he replied with an enigmatic grin.”

I really enjoyed this series, and this final chapter did not let me down. Lots of twists and turns and, of course, plenty of Clarence.🖤I’ll admit some (many?) of Alba’s decisions throughout the series made the mother in me quirk a brow, but once I told my maternal voice to pipe down, I loved it.

[Kathrin Spinnler · Rating 5 out of 5]

Witches’ Elements by Eva Alton is the last book in the Vampires of Emerbury series. In this final adventure, Alba, Clarence, and their friends must use all their resources and skills to find and rescue Alba’s two daughters. Will they be able to defeat the evil forces that threaten the lives of innocent children? And what will the future look like for the vampire clan?

I loved the entire series, and this book was a satisfying conclusion with many gripping scenes. I especially like how well-written it is. Clearly, Eva Alton and her editors have put a lot of time and effort into perfecting the language. As a result, I was pulled into the storyline and finished the book within two days. I hope the author starts another series soon.

Un final de pelicula

Ansiaba llegar al final y ver el cambio en nuestros personajes. Si bien sufrí con la pérdida de varios de ellos vi como el amor entre Clarense y Alba se fortalecia y ambos se convertian en luz para el otro. Si hay que amé de Clarense era su caballerosidad y galanteria que le otrogaba su antiguedad, sus palabraa para Alba siempre me sacaban un suspiro porque transmitian el gran y eterno amor qye sentia por ella. En tanto Alba ne maravillaba su fuerza, su coraje, su pureza de corazón y como esta dispuesta a darlo todo por él y sus hijas. Al final me emocionaron sus palabras y su gratitud a la vida por reunirlos. ❤️

An amazing ending of a beautiful love story

This last book in series is a really nice read. In this story the plot is set in England, and this time it's an intersection of two realities - our human world and magically created realms.

As always, the world building is stunning, and the plot is extremely engaging. Alba, the main character, surprised me in many new ways as she kept exploring her power. The final chapters are very well done as they explain the main twists and connect all the dots starting from the very first book.

If you love good magical mysteries with a strong bottom line, I highly recommend this read!

[Angela's Book Addiction · Rating 4 out of 5]

Witches’ Elements (The Vampires of Emberbury #4) by Eva Alton is a paranormal women’s fiction novel told in first person dual POV. This book picks up where the previous one ended and continues Alba’s story as she sets off on another adventure, this time to find and rescue her daughters.

I really enjoyed this story. The characters were navigating so many changes, from Alba’s turning to losing the cloister and their queen, and I loved seeing how they joined forces to work through their problems as they searched for the girls. Like the previous books, this final installment is full of action, mystery, and magical twists. But ultimately, Witches’ Elements is a story about the power of love and friendship. I recommend this fun series to anyone who loves paranormal adventures and slow-burn romance.

Her stories never dissapoint and Im always sorry when they end .cannot recommend enough

lovely moments for a lifetime

Such a lovely story from beginning to the end. I love the pre story the change meeting and crossing paths. Witches and Vampires my favorites.

[K B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Humor is sprinkled in with darkness and romance. the prose is poetic but flows with ease. Eva makes worlds easy to get lost in.

[Helena Craggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

A delicious ending to a wonderful series.

I adore Alba, the incompetent witch, and Clarence, the debonair vampire, and “Witches’ Elements” was a fitting finale to their journey together. The book takes place in London, and the newly ‘turned’ Alba is hunting for her daughters. Alton’s writing continues to be clever, witty and alluring in her portrayal of characters and places.

Alba discovers you never really know people; not all monsters have fangs—and sometimes the people you most dislike surprise you. Clarence’s arch nemesis causes major problems for the pair; the intrigue and suspense make the story a page turner.

The book is compelling, with each chapter leaving you eager to learn more—and Alton’s humour adds to the enjoyment of the read. “Witches’ Elements” is a melting pot of magic, mystery, friendships and romance.

Alton continues to be a magical weaver of words, and if you love paranormal romance and you’ve not read this series yet, you should!

Hermoso

Es una hermosa saga la ame desde el principio. La recomiendo al 100% si te gusta el romance y los vampiros

[Carolle Desroches · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one was a page turner!

Alba and Clarence navigated a litany of vampires, witches, spells, life and many deaths and managed to stay together. I loved the characters of Francesca and Alice together. It seems fitting for the times of such possibilities. I can’t imagine how Ms Alton cN give us more but she has in her final book in this series….onward to more!

[M.N. Mera · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un buen final para la saga.

[Undercover C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

L’ultimo volume di una serie inevitabilmente porta il peso di tutta la storia. Quindi non è semplice valutare il volume in sé.
Quattro stelle sono per l’intreccio. E solo quello.
Generose. Generosissime stelle. Ma sono stata di manica larga fin dall’inizio. Nemmeno mi spiego perché.
L’intreccio, dicevamo. Interessante. La ciclicità delle catastrofi più o meno annunciate nemmeno disturba più di tanto.
Sicuramente l’autrice ha abusato dello status di “fantasy” per far passare situazioni al limite della verosimiglianza. Ma non nell’atto pratico delle cose (sebbene ci chiediamo il perché di tante reazioni di Alba, o della loro assoluta mancanza a tratti), nelle emozioni evocate piuttosto, nei sentimenti (non) espressi.
Il problema a questo punto sono i personaggi. Interessanti, certo, ma completamente senza anima. Non c’è chimica. Non c’è enfasi. Non c’è pathos. Non riusciamo a innamorarci di Alba, ma nemmeno di Clarence.
Non comprendiamo Francesca, e la storia con Alice fa un po’ quota rosa. Non comprendiamo nemmeno Jean-Pierre ed Elizabeth se è per questo. A parte un barlume alla fine.
La gestione delle bambine sottratte alla mamma poi non la commento neanche.
È come avere una maionese impazzita. Non importa che le uova siano fresche e di qualità. Non importa che l’olio sia extravergine di oliva. E nemmeno che i limoni vengano direttamente dalla costiera sorrentina. Una goccia d’acqua e non lega. Nessuno sforzo potrà farci niente. Semplicemente rimane slegata.
Non mi viene in mente una similitudine migliore, quindi dovrete accontentarvi di questa.
E allora perché quattro stelle, mi chiederete.
Non lo so. Forse perché ho guardato oltre. Per quel barlume che si intravede flebile. Per la fiducia nella storia. Chissà.
Se dovessero mai farci un film, potrebbe essere una di quelle rare, rarissime volte in cui non si dirà che “era meglio il libro”.

i loved this story! i finished the book before and went straight thru this one! it had everything i wish to see in a great story! an urban fantasy story, with great characters, unpredictable characters and plot, and romance with a HEA ending to the series! my biggest complaint is i now have to find another book that catches my attention and keeps it like this whole series did! which is an admiral trait to the author! This story had vampires, witches, a notable human or two, and ghosts! i loved various things about this book, most notably it was action packed and full of surprises with characters i had already come to love! i bought this book, my opinions and thoughts are my own! this book ends with a happily ever after to many, and in that some of the characters had surprising arcs. i highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a romance at heart, yet filled with many surprises, and character shifts. A truly great adventure! with an overall HEA to the hole series! i would also like to add that i did this book thru Audible and the narrators were top notch! i generally like one narrator, but this book pulled off both making it just as enjoyable! i might search for books with these narrators as they were top notch!

Definitivamente es el libro que más me ha gustado de la serie aunque hay algunos detalles que me siguen chirriando como el hecho de que las hijas de Alba estén tan tranquilas en todo momento sin explicarles absolutamente nada o no vayan al colegio, por ejemplo. Es cierto que cuando lees la parte de los agradecimientos y la autora explica que le llevó a escribir la historia y que pretendía contar entendí ciertas cosas que no acababa de ver.
Aún así, en este libro he encontrado lo que de verdad esperaba encontrar desde del principio: aventuras trepidantes, intriga, hechizos de magia. Me encantan las partes que los explican y de dónde proceden.
Ahora que los he terminado y los veo en conjunto como una historia unificada me ha gustado mucho para ser mi primera incursión en este mundo, ya que no he leído nada más allá de Drácula y la saga Crepúsculo. Si es cierto que si analizo cada libro de forma independiente, pierden pero en conjunto la historia es muy chula así que seguiré descubriendo los demás libros de la autora.

[Myriam Conesa · Rating 4 out of 5]

¡Llegué al final!
Siento que ha sido un viaje irregular para mi. Me ha gustado la historia y los personajes, aunque en ocasiones he tenido que descansar de la lectura porque o me desconcentraba, o me perdía, o me aburría. Luego retomaba la lectura y me volvía a enganchar, pero en la historia hay algunas inconsistencias que me hubiera gustado que la autora tratara con más detalle: qué pasa con Lillian y Alonso, por ejemplo, y con los bienes de Elizabeth... o dejar claro si se afincan en Europa o reconstruyen su viejo hogar, por qué hay tantos cazadores de vampiros y luego desaparecen del relato... Natasha... tan intrigante y desaparece de la historia sin ton ni son... Carlo... ¿qué pasa con él? ¿En qué lugar queda y qué peso ocupa en el nuevo clan? ... y ¿Anne? ¿y la despedida de los fantasmas? Porque se hace el ritual y adiós muy buenas, como si se cambiará de canal... en fin, le doy 4 estrellas porque me ha entretenido un rato.

Great story

A love story about a witch and a vampire. Normally witches and vampires don't get along but being a stray witch, she doesn't know the history between the two sides. But she is learning, witches keep telling her to stay away from and not trust vampires. But they were there for her when no-one else was.

Love all the twists and turns in the story. Great series. Love them all.

[Siry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Me gusto el final que tuvo la historia en general y el de Alba con Clarence, espero a ver si habrá algún spin off con la sociedad creada por "Vlad" y con los cazadores, ademas seria bueno que los otros vampiros tengan un final feliz
Lo que no me gusto fue el final de Ludovik y Julia, quería ver mas de ellos.

[Flor Villamar · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ha sido el más interesante desde mi punto de vista de todos. Vuelvo a insistir en que me ha gustado mucho la historia en sí pero a los personajes les falta profundidad, han cosas que me han sorprendido como que Minnie fuese una bruja, ha sido un dato curioso. Aún así desde mi punto de vista merece la pena leerse la saga.

[Gaby Bronzoni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Tardé un montón en leer este libro porque no quiero dejar de saber de los personajes, tan peculiares, que llenan sus páginas.
Amo y siempre amaré a este vampiro caballeroso y sensual así como a nuestra bruja extraviada, y su proceso de crecimiento en la magia y en lo personal.
Los voy a extrañar muchísimo pero sé dónde encontrarlos de ser necesario 📖
Sin lugar a dudas es una excelente saga.

[Luca · Rating 4 out of 5]

The whole book was good, however some characters like Julia and Minnie weren’t great at all. I was expecting more from these two women and not just disappearing into ashes. I think that the battle could’ve been more intense and well described, although I really liked how they ended Victor. Alba’s powers could’ve been more “used”, showed. All in all it was a good saga
