Book 71 of my Goodreads Challenge
I have been dying to read this since I saw a sample of the book before it was even published. The cover simply grabbed me, so striking and clearly links in with the wholeWitch-Hunter Seriesof which I am a BIG FAN.
This is the story of James a young Yorkshire lad who has earned his place at Oxford University by sheer hard work and determination. I was intrigued to find out about his background after reading other books in the series and I can tell you I was not disappointed. We learn so much about this comedic character who can talk for England he hardly ever shuts up to take a breath. He is a truly likeable person who makes friends easily unless of course you are a stuck up, pompous ass, a rich kid from a privileged background like Hunter Astley his roommate. I would never have guessed James' background and I do not want to mention anything you will just have to read it for yourself.
The story is for me very believable with great characters besides James. I liked Hunter's father, not too keen on the snobby mother though. Charlotte is lovely, a young strong woman studying law who becomes a good friend to James and it appears another love interest to the womanising Hunter. I must admit to taking a bit of a dislike to Hunter at first, the way he treats James but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after reading'Shadow Rises'Book 1 in the Witch Hunter Series (currently FREE to download link is below). When we meet him in that story well what can I say but "Swoon" he is the handsome, enigmatic English gent and I fell instantly in love with him in that tale.
Both books are VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I am now after signed copies of the other two books in the series.
A simple warning just be very wary of exceptionally beautiful women they may turn out to be highly dangerous witches. Happy Reading.
