review 1: In the second novel in the Witch Hunt series, Samantha Ryan has left Massachusetts to start over in San Francisco after decimating a coven of evil witches (for the second time). Instead of being able to escape the past, however, the past comes calling with a vengeance. Faced with yet another evil coven of witches and "timequakes," Samantha has no choice but to unlock the memories, and the magic, that she has tried so hard to forget and deny. I liked this second novel less than the first one, and frankly, I liked Samantha less as a character in this novel. I get that she's not a paragon of virtue. She is human, after all, even if she is a witch. However, she just seems much more self-centered in this book, caring less about the actual case that she's supposed to be so... morelving and much more about her own issues. In fact, it seems from the snippet from the next novel that she is completely abandoning the cop portion of her life, so I guess this book was a transitional one in that respect. Samantha goes to some really dark places in this novel, and I think by this point she's actually enjoying it far too much. On some levels it felt like there was an awful lot going on in this book, but when you actually think about it, nothing much really happened. There was an awful lot of inaction (unless you count the interaction the various-aged Samantha's have with each other inside her head), mixed in with an occasional, "Gee, we really should do something about catching this murderer." The end wasn't very satisfying for me, although it wasn't really an end but rather a cliffhanger, and we leave off with a seriously ticked off witch (which is a big problem for someone since she has such a hard time controlling her magic when she gets emotional).
review 2: This is the second installment of Ms Viguie's Witch Hunt series. Samantha's struggle between staying true to her faith or the lure of using her magic is a dailey battle for her. This is an excellent thriller. From the first page until the last you will be drawn in and unable to put it down. I cannot wait for the next installment in this wonderful series. Circle of Blood will be out sometime in 2014. Samantha Ryan, homicide detective, leaves Massachusetts for San Francisco for a new start. Samantha grew up in a coven of very powerful witches and Samantha is very powerful herself. When trhe coven tried to rise a demon, they were all killed expect for her. She was adopted and turned her back on witchcraft. After her secret was exposed in Massachusetts her boss thinks it is time for a change. She is now on the police force in San Francisco with a new parnter and a roommate. Samantha and her new parnter are called in to a crime scene. When they find the dead body she knows that the woman was killed by a witch. The more they investagate the stranger things become. Samantha has to find the witch and put a stop to her plans to rise a great evil without using her witchcraft as little as possible. less
