The River Witch #4
The Wild Hunt
They might have escaped the faerie queen... but the Wild Hunt are coming for them... After so long trying to find help for her village, Tabitha can't wait to get back. She's missed the river and her grandmother, and she's sure everyone will be blown away when she shows them the magic she can now use to defend them all. Even if she's a bit anxious about what they'll think of the thief and the fae warrior she's brought back with her... But when Tabitha returns, she finds that the village has changed just as much as she has. And the faerie queen hasn't forgotten that Tabitha stole her favourite fae knight from court... Set in post-technology Britain and based around Celtic myth, the River Witch series is a romantic fairytale adventure of a young woman’s quest to discover who she really is. With the darkness of Holly Black's faerie stories, the adventure of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse, and the romantic mythology of Juliet Marillier, dive into the magical world of The River Witch today.

Really good - Impatiently waiting for the next book!
This series gradually sucked me in, but this book is the best so far. Full of action and heart. New alliances and more surprises. A budding romance maybe? There’s still a lot of unknowns and unanswered questions, and a bit of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for the next book!

Exciting blend
In this book of the series, you see better editing and the return to Tabitha's village. There along with her grandmother we find many who have witch powers. The fae have invaded the land and the people have to find a way to fight back. Enter the wild hunt and you have a wonderful story.

I have been reading this series since its beginning, and this is now book 4, and I must say that this was the book I enjoyed the most. Tabitha, the river witch, Lysander her human friend from the Iron Court and Fionn the leader of the Wild Hunt from the dark court of Queen Mabh are returning together to Tabitha’s village. She thinks she is returning to save her people from the fae however, she discovers that whilst she was away the people of the village had moved on. Now Ondine her grandmother was training other witches to work together to fight the fae whenever they attacked their village. The villagers were also all armed and had built sturdy boats to take to the river. Tabitha was still a loner and she thought to work her river magic on her own but what her village was facing would call for her to be able to work with the rest of Ondine’s coven. Mabh was angry and she had sent the Wild hunt to get Fionn back to her court. Could Tabitha and her river power save her village and keep Mabh from taking Fionn back? Can Tabitha accept to work with Brigit, her one time enemy, and the others to save Lysander’s life and bring back Lavender their friend? In her pride she had made many mistakes, can she redeem herself now? For me this has been the most thrilling book yet, returning to the village and reading about the Wild Hunt and Mabh and her dark court gives us a different picture of the real face of faerie. Tabitha is growing stronger as the river witch and I feel that Helena Rookwood is weaving a stronger magical wand in the writing of this magnificent series with each book she publishes!

Absolutely Perfect
Not a word nor thought misplaced in the ENTIRE series to this point. The characters are realistic through and through as it is Feb 2019 & The Iron City was slated to be out by year end 2017, I hope we won't have to wait too much longer. I did something I rarely do & that is purchase the series to date though it is an Unlimited Kindle book.
I am SICK to death of authors changing the storyline by the third book. Forgetting the basics of their own characters, names, and heaven offend!!! even turning sex and spelling of a main character from one book to the next.
NONE of that with this AMAZING author. She and her work shine like a star above the rubble. Thank you SO very much!

Wholly Magical!
The Wild Hunt brings us even more deftly developed characters, unexpected and delightfully deeper weavings of magic among our favorite heroines and heroes, and a more fully awakened world where fey and human must both change in a re-emerging shared world. Tabitha and everyone she knows blossom as magic teaches them wonderfully more about who they are and can become. I am ever more swept away into Helena Rookwood’s River Witch world! I can’t wait for The Iron Court to come next!

The Wild Hunt is the fourth book in the magical River Witch series and I seriously recommend that the books are read in order. Tabitha and her friends Lysander and Fionn have escaped from the Faerie Queen but she sets the Wild Hunt after them. When they arrive back at her village everything is different and danger is never far away. This is a dark, magical series packed with drama, mystery, danger and a plethora of magical and mythical beings. It is well written but if you expect a sweet fairy tale then this is not the book for you.

Home is Where The Heart Is !
This book was a real thriller! All the magic and mystery of the first three, but awash in blood curdling thrills all its own. Tabitha is caught between her feelings for Lysander and his lightness vs Fionn and his darkness. Pursued by the Wild Hunt,, Tab must grow and mature her talent, magic and will to protect all she loves so dearly. Helena Rookwood's The Wild Hunt (River Witch Book 4) is a fast and furious thrill ride. The best one of the series so far - with more bewitching books to come.

Tally Ho!
From the Hagstone to the Wild Hunt, this is one of the best book series I've read of the almost 300 kindle books I've had the pleasure of reading! It evoked all kinds of emotions from me. The writing was wholly good, (with allowances for the British spelling, pronunciation and grammar, lol).
The characters are engrossing, the setting immersive and the plot very entertaining. Two thumbs up!

LOVED THIS AMAZING SERIES!
I stumbled across this series while searching thru books on Amazon..While I may be 45 yrs old, I absolutely love tales about the fae! So many lack the detail and character/world building that this series offers in such a vivid abundance!! This series will keep you up into the early morning hours..because I'm certain that the story will draw you in and never let go!

Wonderful
I won't lie, I'm happy for Brigit and Tab to have become friends, and to have learned to work together to bring more to their village. And I'm excited by the change between Fionn and Tab, though I was hoping for more with Lysander. This is a wonderful book in a fantastic story set. I look forward to book 5.

Tabitha hasn't grown up since the first book, she is still childish and selfish, but this book has more characters so it was really interesting plus the world building was rich, I liked it much more than the first book.
What annoyed me was Tabitha's lack of spine and poor Lysander being strung around, so sad.

I’ve always loved fairy tales, and this one is riveting! I like the author’s detail and descriptive writing. The characters are rich and mysterious. I can’t wait to read the next one!

I felt bad for Tabitha, the 'end' of her quest wasn't what she was expecting. And as much as I liked that she's a more trusting and naive character, I was also annoyed with her for being too trusting in this book.

Enjoying this series about a water witch who is coming into her powers as she, and her village, battles the Fairie Court.

A little better
I loved hearing more about Tabithas village and her grandmother. And I love Fionn. I’m surprised the Wild Hunt was defeated so quickly.
