WITCH BLOOD

Author: Anya Bast ISBN: 9780425220436 3/2008 PARANORMAL Publisher: BERKLEY SENSATION

A water witch, Isabelle Novak has always led a chaotic, nomadic existence. But her life spins out of control when her sister—her only friend and emotional anchor—is killed by a demon. Driven by grief and a desire for revenge, she turns her back on the Coven and its sacred rede: Harm thee none... When Isabelle first encounters Thomas Monahan, she’s running on pure rage and sorrow, channeling her pain into power—and trying to freeze the life out of a warlock she holds responsible for her sister’s death. Together she and Thomas form an uneasy alliance to hunt and destroy a demon of tremendous power. As head of the Coven, earth witch Thomas must thwart Isabelle’s dark impulses, but his very presence stirs deeper desires she never knew she had…

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

I am so excited to say that I have found a new series to follow and an author to watch for!

I love WITCH BLOOD! With its fantastic characters, complex plot and super hot scenes, this is most certainly a slam dunk Top Pick. Great writing, sci-fi scenery, witchery, crazed demons and so much more, WITCH BLOOD is a read that I cannot stop thinking about. I enjoyed every minute of it. So much so that I think if you are a fan of paranormals that embody normal elements, so that even though they are different you can still relate to them, WITCH BLOOD is a read you do NOT want to miss.

The characters make the book, and Bast does a fabulous job of creating them. They are nearly living, breathing people, easy to relate to. The bad guys give me goose bumps and the hero is so smoking hot that I have to blink a few times to keep from envisioning him instead of my husband!

In all seriousness, Bast is an author that has kicked this type of read to new heights, daring others to try and keep up!
