The Scarlet Witch

Rate this book
Only magic can save us from this nightmare…

Everest is my soulmate. Yet somehow knowing this feels worse.

Because now I know this isn’t some silly little teenage-puppy-love crush, I know my feelings for someone I barely know are very, very real.

Because now I know this love I feel…he feels it too.

But mostly because every second he lingers in Avolire with Sweyn playing this espionage game is sending me free-falling towards a nervous breakdown.

I need him here with me, with The Coven. Where we can protect him and fight by his side openly. I need to break the chains that bind him to her side and free him of his darkness once and for all. He’s walked within the shadows of this world for centuries, it’s time he steps into the light. And I have every intention of being the one that makes this happen.

Nothing is going to stop me from saving him…not even him.

CHANDELLE YOU FREAKEN GENIUS. I loved everything about Frankie’s third book. An epic story that hit all of my emotions. Francelina is touching and powerful. One of my favorite books within the universe of The Coven; Chandelle truly outdid herself!

Wow, the more I read this series the move I fall in love. This author is talented. Her ability to create complex characters and story lines amazes me. I also love how we get hints and bread crumbs that lead to the answers we seek! There was some lull at the beginning of the book, which I think is to be expected as the “general catch up” has to happen to remind readers what details they may have forgotten but once we got Frankie’s POV near exclusively, I couldn’t put the book down. Her story has been so amazing and I can’t wait till the next book to see the anticipated reunions.

I can honestly say for one of her longest books to date this one did not disappoint. So many answers and way more questions have presented themselves in this installment of the series and I am dying to get my hands on the next book after that shocking realization at the end.

There is a lot of POV shift in this novel making me think that our darkling witch may play a larger part than we know.... also, Chandelle loves to torment her Sooper stans.

This book kept me on my toes, and my brain was going a mile a minute trying to figure out just what was going to happen next. For sure one of my top reads of the year and I will probably read it again before just to look for anything I missed.

OMG! This book was totally epic! This story literally gets better with each and every book! I was completely blown away, and my mind is racing with possible outcomes! This book was definitely worth waiting for! In this book, the mystery of who Frankie is finally revealed, and all I can say is that whatever you were thinking, she is actually so much more! This book kept me on the edge of my seat, had me crying at times, and laughing at other times. I so enjoyed watching Everest and Frankie grow in their relationship, and I loved just how much he loved her. As always, it was enjoyable getting to spend time with our friends from the Coven, all their adorable pets, our Seelie friends, and our sexy dragons. I still can't wait for their story, but man oh man did we ever get some serious hints in this book. And, some new friends and family just might be revealed. If you haven't started the Coven series yet, then I highly recommend you go back to the beginning, and start with the Elemental Magic series. You won't regret it!

Wow!!!!!! can’t believe i have to wait till December for book four in season 5 rather book 30 overall! i love this author, I love this series, and it gets better and better! time travel, battle, urban fantasy at its best, far, coven members with cards that have powers, tricks, soul mates, angels, Gods, demons, vampires, humans, witches, lots of action romance, romantatsty, this book and series has it all, it started as YA, and has progressed into something that is very much not a Y a story but has a very very awesome story that just continues on. I love it. It’s awesome and all I can say is wow I can’t wait for book number 30 coming from an avid reader someone who doesn’t get bored and has read 29 books in the same series that’s one heck of a legacy for an author. December can’t get here quick enough. I did these on audio and her narrator is fabulous as well. I will be reading in December because I can’t wait to find out what happens…

I was expecting a wild ride from our Queen of Darkness but this had more twists than a old mountain road in the heart of Appalachia. I thought I was going to get some Tegan shenanigans and some sayings from Savannah that felt like home. When I ended up with is the best kind of emotional whiplash where one paragraph takes me from trying not to cry to fighting to hold in laugher so everyone in the office doesn't think I've lost what little mind I had. And the references?! my inner teenager is screaming at all the nods to her favorite books and movies. Now to go read EVERYTHING again starting from Elemental Magic to see if I can pick up on some loose thread I haven't thought of yet while I wait (god I hate waiting) for the final book in this season so my brain can stop going "WTF?!" on repeat.

Ah-mazing!

I don’t even know where to start. Did I have all the feels, yes, yes I absolutely did. There were so many plot twists I felt like I was constantly turning. I have absolutely loved Frankie and Everest from the beginning and this does not disappoint.

The little moments with the Coven felt like coming home. I adore that Chandelle gave us so much time with them in this chonky boi of a book. It’s her biggest one, and yet I absolutely devoured it and want more. I read the last chapter 5 times just to take it all in.

There was so many times where my emotions switched from one to the other so quickly I’m surprised I didn’t get whiplash. But absolutely love this book. I cannot wait for the last one. I can’t wait to see how their story ends and how to coven picks themselves back up. 🖤🖤

Wow…All I can say is wow. Chandelle does it again. You will laugh, you will sob, and you will learn so much more about Frankie and Everest and get to see the rest of the Coven again.

Your questions from the previous books will get some answers and then you will have even more questions that are asked with not a lot of answers! Please read the next amazing love story in the Coven series. I wish Everest could be my soulmate!

My heart was so happy to read this book but I cannot wait for the last book in this series! If you have ever read a Coven book before you know that you are in for a ride of a lifetime. So amazing that you feel like you are there with the Coven and going on each of their missions with them and living in headquarters with them all and their pets. I cannot wait for the the next book in the series to come out!! Excuse me while I go through withdrawals for a while.

Magic, twists and turns you never see coming, tension, and romance (with spice).

Frankie!!! and Cooper!!! and Savanah!!! Oh I just want to say how much I love their characters and what they have gone through. Just amazing plots.

I need to read this again there was so much goodness!!! So many good details that I am sure I rushed through cause I wanted to see what will happen.

This is not the first book in the series, or even the first series in this 'world'. You do not have to have read the other series, but you should have read the other books in this series. However, I think you will get more out of it if you have read the other books as you have met some of the characters before. But don’t let that deter you. It will make you want to read all the other books!

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!

I don’t know what to say except this was 220K+ words of GOLD! YOU HEAR ME! Pure gold! Normally long series can get tedious sometimes you have to put them down for a bit and pick it back up but not Chandelle’s Coven… NO-OH MA’AM!

This book had everything
….from some much needed emotional relief to emotional despair
…. From tears of laughter and joy to tears of heart break

Be prepared to feel ALL the damn feels. The roller coaster of this book with leave you breathless but running to get back in line! Carve out some time and get started NOW!

I can’t wait for Forever Witch, which I’m even excited to hear that she said Summer release when it shows October 😭🥰🙌🏾

I would like to start this review by saying as its been a while since The Potion Witch i wish Chandelle had given us a List of Cards just to refresh my memory, although I soon got back into Frankie’s ongoing story, Chandelle has asked us not to give a summary or any spoilers so I am just going to say that it had me hooked from the beginning with so many unexpected twists and turns.
The Coven series is one of the best I’ve read, even though there are many books they are all linked and are well worth reading,
Chandelle brings all the Coven back in The Scarlet Witch and I can’t wait for more in The Forever Witch.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I'd give more than 5 stars if I could! The book was absolutely amazing. It keeps your attention from the first page...and just doesn't let go! :) The relationship between Everest and Frankie with the ups and downs adds to the edge of the seat feeling...the what is on the next page need to know! You learn so much more about Everest and Frankie in this book, some real twists and turns that explain so much! Pretty much the whole Coven crew are here for us, with their own surprises. The story doesn't disappoint. The series always draws you in, the book is so well written that you almost feel you are right there, laughing with them, crying with them and fighting alongside them. Another book that "hit it out of the park!" Amazing and Wonderful!!!

The Scarlet Witch (The Coven: Vampire Magic Book 3)

The Scarlet Witch (The Coven: Vampire Magic Book 3) ~~ This one? FIRE. Absolute fire. The action, the emotional stakes, and the character growth in The Scarlet Witch blew me away. Our fierce witch heroine comes into her own in this book—confident, deadly, and still so relatable. The plot had me holding my breath in parts, and the twists? Whew. I didn’t see half of them coming. I adored the magical duels, the building romance, and the clever connections to the earlier books. Chandelle LaVaun keeps getting better and better with every installment. I completely loved ❤️ this book and I’m beyond excited to see what’s next! Just have to wait until Oct 2025 to read the final book 📕🥺😳

Oh my God, when I didn’t think these books could be any better than they already are , here comes The Scarlett Witch. I am WOWED ! I don’t want to give anything away so I won’t say too much , I’ll say surprised isn’t even the right word , it was so dang good I can’t believe I have to wait for the last book . I don’t think I can wait . Chantelle, girl, you have outdone it, I loved it. My favorite Coven book is now The Scarlett witch, so many surprises, so much wow factor . I couldn’t put this book down. If you haven’t read the Coven books you have to read them, but do it in the right order please , and this one explains so much about Frankie and Everest and others , see not giving anything away . It’s that good read them, now !

Holy smokes we learn SO MUCH about Frankie in this book! I loved reading POV, especially in the 2nd half of the book. Her and Everest just melted my heart. There’s so so much happening and there are so many characters but Chandelle does such an amazing job juggling all of that, it makes all the storylines easy to read and keep up with. What an absolute wild ride for Frankie though. Wow. And I’m a little concerned about Savannah and Cooper but I’m crossing my fingers for a miracle. So many of our fave characters are in dire straights right now, I’m not sure I’ve seen the coven knocked down quite this much before. It’s definitely worrisome knowing what’s around the corner.

Incredible!!!

I’d give it ten stars if I could. This was a mentally stunning story. So many mysteries unfolded in this book. Things that I never could have imagined happened, over and over again. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say I think this is maybe my favorite book in this series, and that’s saying a lot because they are all amazing. If you haven’t read the series you are missing out. I read over 400 books a year according to Kindle, and I can honestly say that the entire coven series is absolutely amazing. It’s in my top 3 series favorites, and that’s saying a lot given how many books I read.

It took me a while before I could express how I feel about this book because.. well that was a lot. I dont think a book has affected me this much, ever.

I am rarely a crier when it comes to books. But here I am, crying all the tears in my body only on chapter 3. Iykyk. I’ve been literally in love with cooper since book one so this scene is literally crushing me.

Then knowing the anguish Frankie is going through by not having Everest with her killed me a little more.

However her quest definitely healed those heartache.

And then BAM the cliffhanger. I’m obsessed and I can’t wait for the finale. Chandelle has done it again !

Wow, wow wow. What an amazing installment in this series – it has exciting and surprising new revelations (so many the mind boggles) and very, very happy progress on beloved relationships (squee!) It is so long I had to split reading it into a couple of days – I am warning the reader to plan ahead - if you expect to read it straight through, it will be more than an all nighter! However there is so much more to be resolved, and people to heal and save, and I can not wait for the final book in this series. Chandelle proves again she is a gold standard author in this genre.

MISS MA'AM

Oh my goddess!!!!! This was the best book to date....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read a lot of series and normally after after 3 or 4 books it becomes just 'same thing'. NOT in Miss LaVaun's universe...NOPE.

Us chandwitches (join the FB group) had soooo many theories.....hundreds of them in fact but, in true Queen Chandelle fashion, she blew us all out of water with a whole different direction of character arcs that had me laughing, gasping, crying, huddled in a corner swaying and now.....the wait begins for the Forever Witch.

Hold on for a wild ride with this book

OMG, Chandelle LaVaun, you better hurry up and get book 4 out now! MA'AM!!!!!

Frankie has to face and conquer hopes and fears throughout the entire book. And in her usual style, Miss Chandelle keeps you tied to reading. The Covin is fighting for everything with everything they have and barely staying afloat.
There is so much to say but I don't want to give anything away. So, hurry up and read it for yourself. Then you can say "WTH" to our delightful devious author.

The coven is back and the fighting is real. While Frankie “the Tower” is sent on a quest to help the coven fight Sweyn. The story uncovers an insight into Frankie’s life and we learn more about Everest and even Sweyn. The story holds your interest through battles, cruelty, love and love lost. All while setting the stage for the coven to be strong enough to defeat Queen Sweyn and prevent Lilith and the Unseelies from ever endangering Earth again. There is a book 2 to the Scarlet Witch coming soon.
In the meantime, enjoy the snark.

Intense, rollercoaster

This entire series just seems to get better with every book. The intensity and emotion that it evokes is thrilling. I love it when a book so firmly has you in its grasp that sometimes you just need to step away and breathe. I love watching these characters evolve and
grow. Chandella knows how to keep you on your toes, to let you be able to solve some of the 'hidden' things while others won't make sense until several books later. Well worth the wait for the next book!! Keep 'em coming!!❤️

Buckle your seat belts and hold on tight because you’re in for one crazy wild ride.
Chandelle jam packed this book with all of our friend goodys! You got romance with drama, you got war, good vs bad and some shades of gray.
It had me questioning things I thought I already knew. Characters I didn’t expect to come along or have major life changes. Get ready for adventure because you’re sure to experience with the journey that awaits Frankie. P.s. Tegan, Elisabeth says hi!!

I will say, she had me questioning everything I knew about the series! I would highly suggest a re-read of the Vampire Magic books or you might get a little lost in the book. I had to go back and find bits and pieces to connect the dots.

Funally

Frankie & Everest's story unfolds in epic adventures, quests, and all the shenanigans to be expected of the Coven. I waited on pins & needles for this book which didn't disappoint. If you're new to The Coven DO NOT READ THIS BOOK YET. Start from the beginning. It is the only way for you to avoid spoilers. Each new book builds on the previous. You will not be disappointed.

Twisty…and amazing!

I had been waiting impatiently for The Scarlet Witch and it was worth the wait! The story of Frankie and Everest is breathtaking, and may be my favorite one yet! Be ready to laugh, cry, and everything in between. This is an incredible chapter in the Coven saga-I may need to reread soon to find details I missed. SO MUCH HAPPENS! Now I can’t wait for the next one to release-the curse of inhaling a book in one day! Grab this book NOW!!!

Man that was none stop revolutions from start to finish. Chandelle LeVaun you have done it yet again. All of the host of characters are back and we finally getting some answers to a few burning questions like, Saber who are you to Everest and dang Devon are ever going to wake up? In this installment Frankie is finally coming into her own fully. I can’t wait for the final chapter in Frankie’s story. Bravo great story!

Ahhhhhh!!

I need the next book so badly! This series, the entire Coven is fantastic, but this arc is my favorite right now. Frankie's rage, her emotions, her determination, and her panic attacks, are just so visceral. Everest's story gets told a little bit, by little bit, and then there's massive reveals. But that ending has me screaming. I may have "known" what some of the clues led to, but then that hits.... gahhhh. Ma'am I need more!

I don't know how she does it!

Every single thing Chandelle series is gold. I'm addicted to her books. The plot twists don't feel like filler, and I never see them coming. I always have to do a reread just for the little things I might have missed in my excitement the first round. Her ability to drop the MOST subtle hints of what's coming is incredible. I truly hate finishing a book because I know that means I'll be waiting for the next. Chandelle, you're amazing.

Amazing!

I couldn't put this book down. I'm so glad I decided to restart from the very beginning before reading this. It is complex full of twists and turns that you really dont see coming, which is such a joy as I usually do! The only problem i have is that I have to wait for another 4 months for the final installment 😒. If you love vampires, witches, demons, angels and shifters this book is definitely well worth the read.

Simply Awesome!!

Never wanted to put the words of this book out of my sight. Best shake my head and cry scenes ever!! Thank you for one of the best yet from the Coven Novel!! Excitement brews for the next, then the next...etc!!

If you have not started from the beginning of our Coven novel, stop and goto the first book. Tegan and all the characters need acknowledgement from the beginning. Never disappointment and we crave for more, Chandelle! Thank you, again.
