Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Very enjoyable book!
Reviewed: 10-15-22
I really enjoyed this book. I have not watched the series on TV, so I know nothing about the characters. I enjoyed the story and the characters, they retained their strength and personality throughout the book. I enjoy the historical references, the twists of different legends, religions, and beliefs. The addition of the last two characters seemed like they were thrown in to make their chosen group. Their background and why they are there is fuzzy, but understandable with the plot of the book. That was my only concern. I am looking forward to reading or listening to the second book in the series.

An all wolf-shifter police force has been the only thing between humans and an unknown evil for centuries, but the pack is in danger of dying if they don't find their promised mates soon. It's a race against time to find the angel/human hybrid "One True Mates" that the pack's spiritual leaders say truly exist. Steamy. Light swearing. High heat. You've never experienced a shifter romance like this before.

Good book overall, lots of story holes.
Reviewed: 02-02-17
The plot of this book has a great premise. I can see it getting stronger as she develops the story line more. Some of the character descriptions and back stories were difficult to follow. There were a lot of tangent story lines in the backgrounds that were left unanswered. I will not continue on with the series. I think there is potential there for a great series, but it will not be allowed in this type of book, short story, adult, sex.
