Lonely Souls
(Witch Avenue Series Book 1)
By Karice Bolton
With a haunting feeling that her mother may still be alive, she begins to hear a call to the wilderness ...
It's two weeks before Triss turns 18, and her world is about
to change into the most magical one imaginable as she readies herself to enter
The Witch Avenue Order... that is until her mother's disappearance. Instead of
celebrating her transformation, she finds herself spreading rose petals into
her mother's empty grave.
When Logan, her best friend from junior high, moves back to
town for college, he vows to help her find the answers she so desperately seeks
surrounding her mother's disappearance. As they begin uncovering clues, it
becomes apparent that the life of white magic they both grew up loving is not
what the majority practices, and their lives are in danger.
Triss realizes that in order to
find the answers she needs, she must learn the ways of her ancestors and become
the hunter, not the hunted before it's too late, and she becomes part of the
lonely souls.
** My Review **
I have been itching to read Karice's Witch Avenue series for so long! Everything from the covers to the story line had me intrigued So, I jumped at the chance to be part of the tour. I love stories about witches, and from what I had read about Karice's books, this series was a must read. And it definitely is!
I have to admit I was assuming I would find more than a few witchy cliches in these pages. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of such cliches. Karice has done a wonderful job making Lonely Souls a fresh and original start to a series. You can tell how well the author knows the subject matter she writes about. I enjoyed her take on witchcraft and her passion really shows through in this story.
Triss was a great main character, strong and full of life. And Logan, super yum. His relationship with Triss was awesome. One of my favorite parts of this story. (I'm a sucker for paranormal romance, eek!) Definitely not instant love, which is always a nice change of pace. It kept me wanting more.
This story isn't all about the romance though! There is lots of suspense and a few well placed twists. I didn't put it down once I started reading. I will definitely be picking up the next book in the series ASAP! Can't wait to see where the series is headed!
I highly recommend Lonely Souls for anyone who has a soft spot for the paranormal. (Preferably some witchy goodness ^^)
