REVIEW
If I thought the first book in this
series was an absolute must read, then “Witch Hunt” must be something like a
double must read!
Six months along and Sydlynn Hayle
is still in the same town and the same school but now has a circle of friends
and even a boyfriend. She is learning to use her magical powers, enjoying
her life with her friends and going to parties like any normal teenage
girl.
One of the parties turns into a
disaster when an ancient power arises to start feeding on kids with latent magical
powers. When the mean cheerleader Suzanne are possessed, and town folk and
coven members start disappearing, Syd’s coven has to step in and do something
about it. That is when things get out of hand.
Syd's crazy grandmother, who can
only be subdued by a constant supply of chocolates and tequila, continues with
her antics in this book, entertaining the reader to no end. And let's not
forget another contributor who adds to the magic of this story - the silver
Persian cat, Sassafras, who is really something else imprisoned in the body of
a cat.
Once I started reading Witch Hunt, I
simply couldn't put it down. The nonstop excitement, action and drama kept
me sitting on the edge of my seat. As I had become very fond of many of
the characters when reading the first book in the series, “Family Magic”, I was
really concerned that something bad may befall one of them during this
story.
The dialogue is extremely well
written but most enjoyable, and often hilarious, is the inner dialogue and
thoughts of the main character, Syd. When she thinks of the bad guy as
somebody with two god-complexes and a serious multiple personality disorder, I was
shouting with laughter.
Patti Larsen brilliantly combines
just the right amount of action, warmth and humor in this book - something
which I always admire greatly in authors. I would strongly recommend this
young adult novel to readers of all ages. Once again this gifted writer
has given her readers a beautiful, warm-hearted and very suspenseful 5 star read
to enjoy.

ABOUT
author PATTI
LARSON
Patti writes a lot of middle grade and YA
paranormal books for someone who is afraid of the dark. And she wonders why she
has to sleep with the lights on. Sometimes life is a teenaged B horror movie
and she’s the one who investigates when the scary music is playing. But the
voices are calling and resistance is… Yes. She is a Star Trek geek, too. And a
fan of RPG’s. With a slight coolness factor since she's been told she's allowed
to join the pops. At least, she likes to think she’s cool...
