About the author

Born in 1936, I became a full-time professional dancer after university. Now semi-retired I split my time between my home with my wife Maureen in a little village South East of London, England, near where my son Matt lives with his wife Lani, and in New York visiting my daughter Melanie with her American husband Greg, and their children Emily and Mathew.

I enjoy reading, writing, and is just learning about "Pages" on Facebook and Goodreads I hope to be able to chat with fans of my books.

Unicorn Witches: The Vengeance of the Godhe by Derek White

Great for Young Adults

This book picks up seven years after Unicorn Witch. The Refuge World Council Meeting is coming up in a few days, Aristo, the Godhe guest of honor, has disappeared on him way back from Europe and all communication with European cities, and duty unicorns have stopped.
Merlin and his group know this is not a coincidence and something is wrong. They discover a way to communicate with some of the annexed unicorns and discover that Krast is back and smarter.

The same great characters are in this book as well as many new ones. You will meet all the children and foals talked about in the end of the first book and a few new arrivals. One of note is Lace/Melanie. She is the reason I say for young adults and not teens. She brings in some interesting moral questions.

With all the new characters, Mr. White puts in a small table of some of the people and unicorns. This was in creditable helpful. I wish he would put in a character index as I had to stop and look up who/what some of the characters. The plot was exciting. I know the villain but the villain is smarter so the confrontations are new. As I said there are interesting moral questions and we see how New Salem is doing after equality of gender is addressed in Unicorn Witch.

This book was a quick read that kept me interested and intrigued. This was my second book by Derek White. This book raised questions that demand a third book so I am looking forward to the third book in this trilogy. You need to read Unicorn Witch to fully understand and appreciate this book.

First, let me start by saying a huge 'well done' to Derek White on the second installment to Unicorn Witch! I have a special place in my heart for all Indie authors. I guess you could compare it to people who like to only shop at locally owned small businesses. I like to be able to tag along on the ride to an amazing career, which I feel this author is heading!

Unicorn Witches begins 7 years after the conclusion of Unicorn Witch. There are lots of new characters, from colorful backgrounds, to get to know. If you read my review of Unicorn Witch and were worried to start reading the next installment, don't be! Derek's wonderful daughter, Melanie Newton, took over as publisher and did a wonderful job! Congrats, Melanie!

This installment was much easier to follow as there were less grammatical errors - also thanks to Melanie taking over as publisher/editor. There are, again because our author lives in the UK, some "british-isms," but none that you would not be able to figure out on your own because of the context. The only one that I think would be an issue would be his use of the term 'full stop' which is the same as a period (.) here in the states.

Personally, this one is my favorite so far - but I will be starting the third, and final (at this point anyway) book in the series today. I cannot wait to see where we end up once the third book, Unicorn Witch III - Return to Earth, concludes! Be sure to stay tuned for my review on that book.

And a special note to the author - I actually giggled when I read your note at the end of the book regarding your character Melanie/Lace and why she was written into the book! I think we could all be life long friends and hope that you continue writing because I can tell how much you love it just by reading you books. ♥

This book takes place seven years after The Unicorn Witch. All of the characters from book one are in here but some new characters are introduced. Krast is bound and determined to seek revenge against Tyana and Marcus, as well as to find a permanent solution to the muscle problem of their men. I can't wait to see what happens next
