When Witches Wake

by Rachelle Kampen

Waking to a different world from the one she left, Rosie Hart is desperate to return to her mate and true love, Lucas Beckett. Her heart is crushed when she learns he’s left town, and now she must navigate this new life without him.

Even as her friends and family celebrate her recovery, she finds not everyone is happy about her return. Someone is leaving cryptic messages, and she feels like she’s being watched. Old feuds resurface, and danger lurks.

As memories of her dreams return, she wonders… was it all in her mind, or was it real? While the United States Werewolf Council closes in on her, demanding answers about who and what she is, she begins to see the messages from her dreams materialize in front of her. Can she make sense of it all and change the future of werewolves and witches forever?

Don’t mind me, over here doing my little happy dance because I could not have asked for a better finale to this awesome series! Mysteries were solved, questions were answered and best of all…my favorite characters got their hea!
Now, does that mean that this book was boring? Heck no! There were still so many secrets that were revealed that I was not expecting and those twists and turns were an amazing journey. I am not usually a ya or paranormal book lover but there is just something about this series that peaked my interest from book one and even finishing up the last chapter in book four I was just as enthralled. Kudos to Rachelle Kampen for an amazing series!!

When Witches Wake is the final book in the Hanks Hollow series.

This book provided a perfect ending to this series. All of the different aspects of the story are wrapped up, without feeling as though there should be more.

Rosie has come out of her coma, and struggles to adapt in the new world around her, as so much has changed.

Sam is getting used to being Alpha.

The wolves and witches are working together to right the wrongs of the past.

You still get plenty of action, romance and further secrets being revealed.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Rachelle does next.

I received this as an ARC for an honest review.

When Witches Wake by Rachel Kampen is the perfect ending to the Hanks Hollow Trilogy! Rosie is awake to a life that has been completely changed and she's struggling to find her place in it. Sam is getting used to being alpha with a surprise of his own and Lucas has a decision to make that changes the course of his and Rosie's lives. Plenty of drama, action, love and loyalty and the wolves and witches work to right the past. I loved this story and can only hope there is more to come in the form of spin offs!

I have been waiting for this book to wrap up Rosie’s story. There were a lot of things that had to be solved in this book from the Harts finding out about Frank to Rosie’s fate with the council. With all that in mind, I think the author wrapped up this series very well, and I felt very happy with the result. This book focused more on the characters growing into their own and owning their futures. I think Lucas’s journey was my favorite. He took responsibility for the Beckett pack even when his life was at its lowest. I also liked being able to see more into the Beckett pack like we did in the earlier book with the Cramers. I only wish there was more to experience in this series! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes young adult paranormal novels.

Perfect ending to an amazing paranormal romance. Rosie, Sam, Becca and Lukas all have something to fight for ( love of family and friends ). The witches start to come out of hiding and a showdown between the shifters who want the old ways brought back and the Shifters like Sam and Lukas who want to have the Chosen come back into existence plays out and with Rosie’s powers Good triumphs. 5🌟’s finish to the four book series !! I received a copy of the book from the author and Siren and am choosing to leave a review.

What an amazing series this has been! The characters and the story line are absolutely brilliant! When Rosie wakes from her come, it seems like the world has changed and much of what she loved seems lost. Can she really be the one to make the changes that are so desperately needed? Will Lucas come back for her? Absolutely loved the whole series!

This is the final book in the series in Hanks Hollow.
I loved this book, everything came together nicely. The character's got their happy endings. The whole plot was fantastic, there's plenty of action and heartache throughout the whole series, this book had a battle at the end between the pack's. This book is well written with lots of description and it's very interesting. I read within a day and I would recommend the whole series

Well paced plot. Good characters that were consistent from previous books and had some great progression/development.

I enjoyed the story and feel like it’s conclusion was in keeping with the narrative and wrapped the whole thing up nicely.

I read this as an ARC. This final book was good filled the readers in on questions that were unanswered in the third book. It was an overall good book. I wish there was more to Luci's and Rosie's ending but would highly recommend this series.

[Holly · Rating 4 out of 5]

When Witches Wake was a wonderful finale to an awesome series. I don’t typically like series because I often lose interest, but the story and the characters of the Hanks Hollow Series were so well written that I felt like I was right there with them through the friendships and romance and action.

[Storieswithsophie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a perfect closure to the series. I really enjoyed the book and how we see Lucas and Rosie work with each other and protect each other.

Overall, i really enjoyed the series and was very satisfied with the ending. Im really happy with the closure and that Rosie was able to finally find more witches of her own kind and the werewolves and witches coming together to defend her home and their town.

The perfect ending for the love and relationships of the characters. the only thing i wished is to see more of Lucas and Rosie's ending but i thought it was a well written and very cute story

[Azyamarie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ugh, I’m so sad that this is the last book in the series! But I can honestly say that I enjoyed this final book and the entire series! I love how strong Rosie becomes and the love between her and Lucas. The bond between them is just amazing. The relationship with Becca and Sam! They are definitely my favorite couple! But when Lucas takes her back to his pack home and how Rosie loves it there and feels such at home is so bittersweet and amazing with me. And the major event at the end! Just ugh, I didn’t see it coming at all!
