Paradox of the Witch
In 1647 Hartford, Alice Sinclair is condemned as a witch—but not before she hides a powerful book of magic. Bound by blood and sacrifice, the book is sealed beneath the earth.
More than three centuries later, Simone Sinclair struggles to understand her inherited gift of clairvoyance. Her visions lead her to a blind mystic and Makenzie Porter—another young woman wrestling with abilities she barely understands—after a chance meeting on the boardwalk.
When dark entities begin searching for Simone, her friends are pulled into the danger. Harry Foster vanishes without a trace, and the truth behind his disappearance points to the same buried magic Alice once sealed away. Guided by cryptic visions and a black cat named Libra—said to guard more than it seems—Simone and Makenzie must act before the book falls into the wrong hands.
At the crossroads of time, blood, and shadow, Paradox of the Witch blends historical witchcraft, occult mystery, and modern suspense into a story where some secrets were never meant to be unearthed.

3.5 stars (maybe)!
I was drawn to this book because of the title and the story wasn't that bad. It was told on a twin timeline basis, the 1640s and the 1970s. We had traditional white witches engaging dark forces, real good versus evil stuff.
A loose federation, Illuminati in concept, was controlling all levels of Society as they attempted to bridge the gap between this realm and the world of demons.
The story progressed at a rapid rate, a bit "Harry Potter" at times, and I suspected that it may have been aimed at a YA audience. Witches (of the female variety) were good and honourable while occultists (mostly male) were bad, very bad.
Not a bad read, during a period of hot summer weather, but not really my thing I'm afraid.

I was hooked on the first couple of pages, very rare for me, I went on to enjoy every aspect of the book. A well paced and a well thought out book. A Great read.

Loved this book!
If you are a fan of historical fiction, the supernatural element added makes this book a great read. Moving back and forth from the 17th century to 20th century kept my attention and I could not put it down once I started to read it. Loved it so much, I read it a second time!
