The Shadow Rises

by K. S. Marsden, Lesley Neale (Editor)

Overview

Witches are real, and to be blunt, they're all black-hearted, and evil. These are not wiccans; witches are a different breed that use magic with devastating effect.
Charged with stopping the witches, taking whatever measures necessary, there are witch-hunters, all reporting to the Malleus Maleficarum Council (MMC). For hundreds of years witches have been persecuted and when the powerful Shadow Witch rises again, they have their opportunity for revenge.

The best the MMC has to offer, the talented seventh-generation witch-hunting Hunter Astley has his own part to play. In his own way.

Editorial Reviews

The book scores with simplicity yet standing way far from the usual witchery tales. A brilliant language and storytelling skill makes this a fun and enjoyable read. It is fast, gripping, and short and sweet with every ingredient mixed perfectly. I can't wait for its sequels, not because the author left a huge cliff hanger, but simply because I am in love with the author's story telling magic.

Read Watch and Think - Merril Anil

The twists and turns are insatiable. It's not always easy to find a book with a good plot twist. Not to mention, one that completely blindsides the reader, and makes total sense. It was to my utter delight when I discovered that The Shadow Rises had a few major twists!
Overall, I thought this was a twisty, creative, and fast read. If you are a fan of witchy-type reads, this series might just be for you! ... I'm curious to see where this series will go!
