A continuous flow of witchery and energy that kept this reader captivated until the end. — The Electric Review, 5-Star Review
The Janus Witch is so much more than a lighthearted tale about witches wielding their magic for good or evil. At first glance, this rollicking story is about a powerful witch and her coven who have no qualms about stealing a person’s very essence of life and leaving them as shriveled, empty shells, all in the name of greed. But add in a witch hunter determined to eliminate this coven no matter what, and the story blossoms into an exhilarating adventure filled with a portal into the modern world, unspeakable greed, bewitching and manipulation, true love, second chances, a fair bit of humor, and rock-solid characterization.
The author definitely knows how to create and build engaging characters chapter by chapter and then bring them all together in a spectacular showdown that is gruesome, heartbreaking, and completely entertaining.
An interesting aspect of The Janus Witch is the idea of change. Some of the characters change outwardly to suit a specific purpose. Some are changed against their will to suit another’s purpose. And then you have some who change and become better people, shedding their old lives and donning new ones. You will need to read this wonderful story to find out more, but rest assured, that idea of change is rampant throughout and makes for some interesting contemplation.
A word of caution: The magic and manipulation are quite unnerving and often grotesque, but that monstrous side is important as it provides the other half of that necessary balance, with both good and evil forever entwined from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced story that will thrill you and chill you and make you question the folly, the tenderness, and the monstrosity of both magical and non-magical people in this world and beyond, then The Janus Witch needs to be the next book on your to-read list.
That ending, though. Never underestimate any character in this book! They will surprise you.
