THE WITCH HUNTER BY MICHELLE KRYS

Picture
If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won’t stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. Who wouldn’t want to be her?

Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it’s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie’s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn’t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that’s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she’s a witch too.

Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie’s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life—and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.

Indigo Blackwood is your average cheerleader, or so it seems… She couldn’t be happier with Bianca, her best friend since grade school and Devon the captain of the football team as her boyfriend, by her side.

Things change drastically when Indie and her next-door neighbour Paige witness a guy plummeting to his death from up above. But that’s not all… The boy was carrying a rumpled piece of paper with the address of her mom’s voodoo store, written on it. What was this stranger doing with her mom’s store address? Where did he come from? Most importantly, what happened to him? Was it suicide or homicide? Thoughts and questions run through her mind.

When a stranger in a leather jacket suggests that she should go home to check upon on her mother, Indie becomes suspicious. After many unanswered calls to her mother, Indie races home only to find her mother almost crushed under a bookshelf. Unable to stop the bookshelf from crushing her mother, the stranger lifts up the bookshelf before disappearing into the night. With her mother now safe, and the police question her about what happen. After those events, she finds her mother’s bible missing. The Witchcraft’s Bible that her mother is overly protective of. The one her mother is desperate not to allow from falling into the wrong hands. Promising that she knows exactly where it is, Indie must find the Witchcraft’s Bible and bring it back.

Her only clue is the stranger in the leather jacket. Dragging Paige, her next-door neighbor, into the foreboding night to find this mysterious boy, she recounts what happened. After hopelessly searching for the stranger, she receives a startling knock on her car window. It’s the boy who’s been following her, and he will only answer her questions in a private location. Accepting his over, she agrees to his terms.  

It turns out on her 200th full moon; she has a 50% chance of becoming a witch. In a world where witches and sorceress are long-term enemies, she learns that her mother’s bible is more important than she could have ever imagined. It gives any sorcerer the power to kill witches, without them losing their powers. It unbinds the curse placed many generations ago by a witch, to prevent the two sides from killing each other.

I really loved Indie’s character development as she went from the girl who was balancing herself on the line of popularity, to being herself, as she finds out the truth about herself and her heritage. As for Bishop’s character… Watch out Patch Cipriano, ‘cause there’s a new hottie in town, and his name is Bishop. Bishop is a warlock who is there for Indie throughout the story as he teaches Indie about her inheritance and how to unleash her powers. Overall, this novel was undeniably phenomenal and addictive. It had you entertained right from the start to the finish. I would highly recommend this novel to all fans of Hush, Hush and Fallen alike. I cannot wait so get my hands on Charmed and to learn what happens next!

***I received a hardback copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review***

Michelle Krys lives with her husband and son in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. She has an identical twin called Brandy who is also a writer! She is the author of the YA novel HEXED, out now from Delacorte Press/Random House Children’s Books, as well as the sequel, CHARMED, and a separate, standalone novel called DEAD GIRLS SOCIETY. She works part-time as a NICU nurse and spends her free time writing books for teens. She is repped by Adriann Ranta of Wolf Literary. Michelle is probably not a witch, though she did belong to a witchcraft club in the fifth grade and “levitated” people in her bedroom, so that may be up for debate.

I was sent an ARC of this novel, and can I just say it is so weird that the finalized copy changed her boyfriend from a quarter back to the captain, plus she changed his name.

I remember when I received an ARC for both Hexed and Charmed. They are seriously amazing novels. Would definitely recommend it.

They honestly are. How lucky that you managed to get not only one, but two advanced reader's copies. I just received Charmed yesterday in the mail, and the hardback copies are absolutely stunning. I managed to get a copy 12 days before the released day at least.
