Witch Fire 4 Stars Newly divorced and working as a waitress to save up for college, Mira Hoskins is completely unaware of the fact that she is about to play a pivotal role in the ongoing conflict between witches and warlocks. Not only is Mira a rare air witch with the potential for tremendous power, but she is also the target for warlocks who seek to use her in a demon summoning ritual. The only person standing between Mira and a certain death is Jack McAllister, a fire witch who will do anything to protect Mira for reasons that are becoming more and more personal. It has been a while since I read Anya Bast’s excellent Dark Magick series and I’d forgotten how much I enjoy her writing. Bast’s world building is engrossing and her characters have depth and intensity. Not only do Mira and Jack have explosive chemistry in and out of the bedroom, but each has a well-fleshed out background that makes them all the more appealing. My one small nitpick regarding their romance is the annoying keeping secrets trope. Thankfully, it doesn’t overshadow the relationship too much and is resolved quite easily without the equally detestable silly misunderstanding stemming from a lack of communication. The plot is secondary to the romance, which is understandable given the nature of the genre and the relatively short length. Nevertheless, what there is to the story is very intriguing and the set up for the next book has potential. In short, a fast, fun read recommended for lovers of steamy paranormal romance.

Pride and Prejudice is special for many reasons; for one, its style and language – albeit sometimes difficult – are delightful beyond comparison. Old texts are often dry and hard to read, which is discouraging to readers. I truly loved the way some words are used, and wished language would still be dealt with the same way. I wonder; is it really the language of the age, or a superior skill Jane Austen possessed? The way culture is portrayed is also very interesting; it is too different than any I have observed, but – I feel – closer to our culture than the western culture. The way it works is so annoying at times, but at others it is just perfect. Character development is superior in this novel; the author knew how to build our hatred towards some characters. Lydia I learned to truly despise as time went on, just as others would; her mother I never liked anymore than herself, and felt pity for those who had to tolerate her before the novel started and after its conclusion. Mr. Darcy I hated at first; just like others did, I prejudiced him! I shared Lizzy's feelings toward him in almost all parts of the story (Not that I loved him the same way she did, you get my point!), how better-done can the story be? Elizabeth Bennet; charming! I will not enumerate every character in the novel and mention how I felt about them, but what I mean to convey is: I felt like I got into the novel, and I love it. Is it perfect though? Not really; not for me at least. I would have hoped for a novel that contained less difficult expressions, just so that I can get more out of it. Sometimes I felt really lost and had to reread a few times – without anymore luck even!
