Waking the Witch (Women of the Otherworld, Book 11) [Hardcover]

I've finished "Waking the Witch" the 11th book in her Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong.

Product Description

One of the most popular writers of paranormal fiction and the #1 New York Times bestselling author returns with a rollicking new novel in her Otherworld series.

At twenty-one, Savannah Levine-orphaned daughter of a notorious dark witch and an equally notorious cutthroat sorcerer-considers herself a full-fledged member of the otherworld. The once rebellious teen has grown into a six-foot-tall, motorcycle-riding jaw-dropper, with an impressive knowledge of and ability to perform spells. The only problem is, she's having a hard time convincing her adoptive parents, Paige and Lucas, to take her seriously as an adult. She's working as the research assistant at the detective agency they founded, and when they take off on a romantic vacation alone, leaving her in charge, Savannah finds herself itching for a case to call her own. (She's also itching for Adam, her longtime friend and colleague, to see her as more than just a little girl, but that's another matter.)

Suddenly, Savannah gets the chance she's been waiting for: Recruited by another supernatural detective, she travels to Columbus, Washington, a small, dying town. Two troubled young women have been found in an abandoned warehouse, murdered. Now a third woman's dead, and on closer inspection small details point to darker forces at play. Savannah feels certain she can handle the case, but with signs of supernatural activity appearing at every turn, things quickly become more serious- and far more dangerous-than she realizes.

My Review:

This was a very fast and enjoyable read!

This is Savannah's first solo outing since Paige and Lucas are on vacation!  At first it seems like a simple case of finding out who killed three women victims but it becomes more complicated as she learns more of the town's secrets.

I kind of forgot who Adam and Jesse are and was wondering if someone could give me a brief history for both of them (like which book they first appeared in, etc.!), thanks!

3.5/5
