loved it!

I was so upset when the Stray Witch series came to an end! So it was with great excitement, that I picked up Iris. Whilst we don’t meet Clarence and Alba again, we do hear of them. Instead, this story focuses on Iris and Katie (Alba’s daughters). Having met them in the Stray Witch series I was intrigued to catch up with them as adults.

The story is set in Ibiza, which I loved. What a cool setting for a romantic paranormal suspense!

Katie went missing five years ago after a night with a vampire. All these years later, Iris is still hunting for her. Despite being a medium, Iris can’t connect with Katie, so surely she must be alive

We follow Iris as she takes a job at Moonlight Sonata Paranormal Agency in search of clues. Iris struggles to settle into her role and her handsome boss isn’t helping. Theodore D'Alessandro is a vampire whom she cannot risk getting close to.

The story’s pace grows as Iris finds herself out of her depth. Can her magic save her? Will she ever find out what happened to Katie?

Iris: The Witch’s Blood Spell is a gripping paranormal suspense that will whisk you into a world of witches, ghosts, and vampires on the Balearic island of Ibiza. With a feisty female main character and a swoon-worthy vampire love interest, this is a smouldering romance.

I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the Witches of Ibiza series!

Una vez más me dejé llevar por Eva Alton y su maravillosa forma de mezclar realidad, cotidianeidad y fantasía urbana.
Simplemente me encanta. Brujas, vampiros, fantasmas, un bar y las playas de Ibiza. Una combinación adictiva, sin lugar a dudas.

I can confidently say I’ve never read a book like this before. It’s a very unique plot, and I’m looking forward to all the other stories the author tells from this agency family. The storyline was fascinating, I enjoyed the bits and pieces coming together in the end, the unraveling of the mystery. It’s a longer book, I do think there could be a bit more action to move it along faster, and it’s very light on romance, it really take a backseat to the main focus of the book, which is the main character’s sole drive to find her sister. So take that into consideration, but enjoy the book! It is well written, it’s easy to follow along with, and there’s a strongly written main female character so that is great. I got an advanced copy of the book for free and am gratefully leaving a review.

The Witch’s Blood Spell is the first book in a new series the Witches of Ibiza by a new to me author Eva Alton. It's a fascinating read about a new witch who doesn’t know how to use or control her powers as a medium. Iris is a medium on a mission to find her sister who disappeared five years earlier. This is an adventure of a story to find herself, how to use her powers and to find her sister. The author's take on this genre is original and the world she has created is awesome! I can't wait to see she takes it next!

What a great start for a new series, it had all the excitement you would expect from this author and still it was a great story the only downside is the wait for the next book I need to read it yesterday, I highly recommend this book I give it a well deserved 5 stars I would have given it more if I could

[Carol P - H · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Witch’s Blood Spell is a fascinating read about an untrained witch who doesn’t know how to use or control her powers as a medium. As she is challenged and becomes more versed in her art her abilities strengthen. The author creates a believable version of earth with magically talented characters such as vampires, healers, telepaths, telekinetics and those that communicate directly with animals. Iris is a medium on a mission to find her sister who disappeared five years earlier. This is her story. I thank the author for an advance review copy and I am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Es una novela que va "in crescendo".Comienza pausada, presentando a los personajes, tejiendo la historia sin prisa, pero sin pausa.Brujas, vampiros, humanos y otros seres conforman una narración que te atrapa irremediablemente.Ha sido una lectura deslumbrante.En sus primeras páginas no he podido vislumbrar cómo iba a desarrollar la trama, hasta un giro inesperado que da un vuelco a la narración.Acción, terror, amor ... creatividad en estado puro.En un mundo moderno los fantasmas del pasado conviven con el presente.

[Flor Villamar]

Este libro aunque tenga relación con la saga, creo que al mismo tiempo tiene un toque de frescura. Me gusta que se hayan enfocado en Iris y Kate, me sorprendió bastante el hecho de que fuese la reina, me impactó y no me lo esperaba...y eso de que sobreviviera, y después.. ese desenlace tan fatídico me dejó un poco triste, pero por ahora es el que más me ha gustado de todos.

Nooo

Por queeee tuvo que morir Katy, ya se que hizo muchas cosas mal. Pero no podía morir, tenía que recuperarse y que se pudiera redimir con su hermana.

[Jen Farias · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spellbinding and layered with mystery, Eva Alton's novel "Iris
: The Witch's Blood Spell" is an enchanted and fast paced look into the Moonlight Sonata Paranormal Agency's world.
Iris is very strong willed and determined to find out about her sister and how the world works outside of her sometimes sheltered lifestyle. She is constantly pushing her own boundaries in life and magic and it makes her an exciting protagonist.
I would love a whole other book dedicated to Iris's early life and upbringing around other paranormal persons, which I felt was a little glazed over in this novel.
Instead, we learn about the owner of the Moonlight Sonata Paranormal Agency, Mr. Theodore d’Alessandro. A "touch her and die" male lead is eccentric and dreamy. He is still veiled in mystery and we see a much more vulnerable vampire than most paranormal romance novels and it makes him much more likable, a little human even.
The other members of the agency are also charming, unforgettable and seeing more of their adventures in the upcoming series is something to look forward to.
I would like to see more diversity since the Agency is in Ibiza, Spain. Hopefully there will be more variety in the upcoming series. The culture presented in the novel was a little lacking and it left the impression that Ibiza is strictly a party location, which lended itself to the plot, but nothing more. I had previously read a few of Eva Alton's novels, including but not limited to "Hidden Notes," where the locations and plot worked really well together.
I look forward to reading more about this world and agency. A great start in a new series, Iris will leave you wanting to read more about the characters and world that the Moonlight Sonata Paranormal Agency lives.
Thank you again, to the author for another opportunity to read this novel as I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I joined Eva Dalton's ARC group long ago, so I was excited to finally be given a book to read.

I liked this book! It was definitely a different take on things. Wraiths, specters, ghosts, vampires, witches, and even a werewolf! The "Umbracore" is something that I have never heard of before.

My only issue is that I believe I had different expectations? That's not the author's fault or anything wrong with the book, though. I was thinking that there would be a lot more explicit encounters. What was there was extremely mild.

I would definitely recommend this book, and am looking forward to reading the second in the series.

[Helena Craggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this romantic, paranormal vampire suspense. It's full of intrigue, mystery, and a to-die-for slow-burn romance. Iris and Teo are fabulous characters who you can't help falling in love with, and the remaining gang of witches is a brilliant supporting cast. I am currently reading for the second time; I devoured the ARC copy and am already an even bigger fan. I adore Alton's writing style, and her world-building, as usual, is spot-on. The plot is unique, and the pace is perfect, along with the twists and turns you don't see coming! Watch out, Hector... Iris and Teo are on to you. Brava, Ms Alton.

No soy de leer este tipo de libros, pero he de reconocer, que me ha sorprendido gratamente.
Esta es la primera parte de una saga llamada "Las Brujas de Ibiza".
La forma en que está narrado, ha hecho que estuviera enganchada a la historia desde el primer momento.
Hacia el final tiene unos "plot twist" que no me esperaba para nada.
Ahora me ha dejado con las ganas de leer la segunda parte y saber qué aventuras les esperan a Raoul y Selena en los Pirineos.

[Trina · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book didn’t really grab me at the beginning but I always read a few chapters before I give up. I’m glad I did as I couldn’t put the book down. Great world building and characters. I did not see the ending as it was until it appeared. Intriguing read, look forward to the next book.

I received the ARC from Book Sirens and all opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this story, it was a good slowburn romance. I do wish that the MMC’s actions has been a little more consistent and that the magic system had been explained a little more (i.e., how they discover their magic and more about how they summon it. But overall I enjoyed it very much and am excited for the second book.

[Reviewer King · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely a page turner! Reading this book was very refreshing for me. The concept was intricate and I really liked the characters. The plot was a little slow in a few places, but it was worth it to get to know the story and details. The romance is teeny bit there but I hope we get more in the next one!

Una refrescante novela ambientada en las islas baleares, lo que hace que sea mucho más cálida y agradable.

Empieza bien la serie, seguramente voy a leer todos los libros porque la autora escribe padrísimo.
No le pongo las 5 estrellas por el final que es un poco confuso.
