Witch’s Reign
Shannon Mayer
Urban Fantasy
They think her an underdog against impossible odds…
And she will fight tooth and nail to prove them wrong.
The first in the plot twisting, heart pounding, magic riddled, USA Today bestselling Desert Cursed series.
The Witch’s Reign…a land of eternal, unnatural winter ruled by the Ice Witch. In turn she is guarded by three supernatural creatures who wander her lands hunting for unwary souls, killing any who cross their paths.
To get to the Witch’s Reign, you first must pass through the Dragon’s Ground. Full of dragons, who for the record, do not like trespassers.
This is where I am headed, though my mentor has forbidden me.
My best friend was sent with a team into the Witch’s Reign to recover a powerful jewel that belongs to our mentor, and they are long overdue to come back.
That leaves me, Zamira “Reckless” Wilson to go after my friend. Forbidden or not.
Somehow, I get saddled with a human male tagging along for the ride. A human that is as weak and useless as my own shifting abilities.
Throw in a sentient magical weapon that tries to kill me every time I touch it, and a small dragon that has a penchant for Shakespearean insults, and you’ve got my journey in a nutshell.
May the sands of the desert swallow me whole because this is going to be a damn bumpy ride.
Uncaged Review: This is a really good start to a series, with some twists and turns that you won’t see coming with Zamira – or with Maks, her human partner she’s been saddled with. Nothing is as it seems, so be ready for a lot of one liners that will keep you smiling, and enough action to keep you furiously tapping the next page on your Kindle to see what happens next. And after the dragons come into the storyline, you wonder if it’s going to be another lie that is piled on top of Zam.
I’m not going to blow smoke and tell everyone that I loved the book. I liked it and think it’s a good start, but I’m not head over heels in love with the series….yet. But I’ve always liked Mayer’s writing style in the past, so I’m willing to give myself time and let the series brew a bit longer and see where it takes me. Reviewed by Cyrene
