Review for Witch Hunter by Kathleen
When Molly’s Mom gets a new job, the move to Salem is exciting for her as it brings her closer to her Aunt Sarah, her mother’s twin sister. Staying at her Aunt’s Bed and Breakfast becomes a real eye opener to her as she finds out more about her family. Her Aunt is a practicing Wiccan and her Coven invites Molly in with open arms.
Then, the first tragedy strikes. The Antique shop next door to her Aunt’s B and B burns to the ground, and Dora, a fellow coven member and friend to both her Aunt and Mom, perishes in the flames. Something feels so very wrong to Molly. Soon she learns her feelings are correct and she’s at the center of a murder mystery, with multiple victims. What’s worse, is she may very likely be next on the Murderer’s to-do list.
Witch Hunter was a story that gripped my interest from the beginning and held my attention all the way through. I found myself suspecting a few different people of being the culprit before the story finally shared its mystery.
Kathleen Allen did an excellent job in this who done it! I enjoyed the story from beginning to end and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good page turner! Five Stars, all the way!

Time Warped by Tracey L. Pacelli
Ever have a compulsion that's just too hard to ignore? Every step closer to doing what you know you shouldn’t do leads you closer to disaster, but you just can’t stop yourself. Lanie has just such a compulsion. A little one really; one she never thought would throw her entire world into chaos, but it does. One thing leads to another until a fatal car accident injures her and kills her adoptive mother. Next thing she knows, she’s in the hospital, under observation . . . because? Oh yeah, they think she’s NUTS! Or is she just being paranoid? When she manages to escape successfully . . . now, THAT is when the real adventure starts! An elderly midget, a freaky insane asylum, and a secretive roommate are just a few of the things she encounters in the crazy roller coaster ride she’s been thrust into. And for the love of God, why is everything—from the furniture they sit on to the clothes they are forced to wear—straight out of the sixties? This story snagged my attention immediately and quickly became one of those books I just couldn’t put down! It’s a mystery, a fantasy, a romance, an adventure and a drama all rolled into one. It’s a book I will definitely be reading again! If you’re looking for a story that pulls you in and takes you on an amazing journey—look no further! Here it is!

Review for Malicifer by Aubrie Dionne
A Sword, created by magic of the darkest kind is hidden away inside a long forgotten tomb. It is guarded by those sworn to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. But the sword has awoken and begins singing a song to summon a new handler because darker forces are coming and a battle is about to commence.
Maylin has long been in love with the knight Castellan. But her love is unknown to him. He is royalty, and she is simply a farmer’s daughter with nothing but her love to offer. Her dearest friend takes care to continually remind her of how unlikely it is he would ever favor her.
Then as the forces of evil make themselves and their intent known, the simple girl discovers her destiny is crossed with the Malicifer sword. For it is only through its power that the man she loves and her village can be saved. When she hears the swords song, she promises herself she will not let the bloodlust the sword brings take hold. But as the battle ensues and the bloodlust begins, it is only through the truth of love where such a promise can be kept.
As I started reading the story, I was somewhat confused. I wanted to know the story of the person in the grave who held the sword so close, but then as the tale began to unfold, I found myself swept up in the love Maylin felt for Castellan and the sacrifice she was willing to make to save both him and her home.
Malicifer is a good read. It easily holds its own among the classic fairytales we all know and love. Definitely a good read and one I would recommend to anyone who wants a short story to focus and reflect on. I would almost want this to be an illustrated storybook, except I believe some of the content may be a touch too graphic for anyone under the age of twelve. However, the story is grand and I found myself wanting more!
