Giveaway & Review: Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong

Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong is a really spellbinding read, transporting the reader into the world of sharp-tongued Savannah who is really just coming into her own with her supernatural powers.

The girl is full of sass and attitude that just won't quick, plus she kicks a little ass so that never hurts. Working with human isn't up her ally, but that is just what she has to do if she wants to work on her case for the agency. On her own this time and not able to use her magic at her every whim really sets her on edge, but throughout the book you watch Savannah grow and make more mature decisions about her craft and abilities.

This case will be a true trial for her and she really has to pull it together to make it through all the hurdles.
Kelley Armstrong really pulls out the punches with some fantastic plot twists that will suck you into the supernatural realm of the Otherworld only finishing and leaving you craving for more.



The orphaned daughter of a sorcerer and a half-demon, Savannah is a terrifyingly powerful young witch who has never been able to resist the chance to throw her magical weight around. But at 21 she knows she needs to grow up and prove to her guardians, Paige and Lucas, that she can be a responsible member of their supernatural detective agency. So she jumps at the chance to fly solo, investigating the mysterious deaths of three young women in a nearby factory town as a favour to one of the agency’s associates. At first glance, the murders look garden-variety human, but on closer inspection signs point to otherworldly stakes.

Soon Savannah is in over her head. She’s run off the road and nearly killed, haunted by a mystery stalker, and freaked out when the brother of one of the dead women is murdered when he tries to investigate the crime. To complicate things, something weird is happening to her powers. Pitted against shamans, demons, a voodoo-inflected cult and garden-variety goons, Savannah has to fight to ensure her first case isn’t her last. And she also has to ask for help, perhaps the hardest lesson she’s ever had to learn.

About Me


My Photo
Brande
I am a working mom with an addiction to coffee, chocolate, and books.. I read an average 3 to 4 books a week to escape reality. I have setup this site to organize my own thoughts and help others when choosing what to read. Since I can be a dimwit at times I decided to keep a record of the books I read. This record turned into reviews so I would remember if I liked the book I forgot I had read. I am not particularily funny and my grammer sucks so please don’t expect much. Basically I don’t know jack about many things, but I do know what I like in a novel and what makes me want to spend my money on an author.
