Review: Witch Star by Mandy O’Dell

5 / 5 Stars!

I couldn’t put this down! Now I can’t wait for the next!

We continue 6 months after Witch Stone left off. Rossi has been learning and enjoying life with her expanded coven. On a night of celebration, she finds herself sent off to an island, trapped with things trying to hurt her, and stumbling upon a hurt Drag. It’s been 6 months since she’s seen him too, but nothing can stop the pull of her magical other half.

Can Rossi help save Drag from those out to get him and himself? Has Rossi learned enough to protect herself from everyone who means her harm? How many people does Ainsley, the evil but still unseen foe behind everything, have on her side? Do Rossi and Drag have enough to stop her?

I enjoyed Witch Stone, but Witch Star took it up to another level. We see a lot less of some of the side characters from the first book, but I still loved what we did see of them. This book goes out further into this world and opens up previously mentioned areas to explore. I was disappointed in Drag for a bit, but that was all explained.

There were definitely sudden and unexpected twists at the end, that left me simply wanting more!

Thank you to the author for the eArc, but I’ve also already pre-ordered Witch Star which releases on January 31st! Don’t miss out on this one!

Book blurb via Amazon:

A streak of red lightning. A desolate rock in the frozen sea, and a city with divided loyalties.

Rossi hasn’t seen Drag in six months. Not even the tiniest tingle in her stone. But during a full moon celebration, she not only feels that familiar zing, she finds herself transported to a frozen wasteland full of water sprites and a merewif with a fancy piece of jewelry. And Drag.

She manages to save him. Once. However, in his quest for vengeance for the death of his mother, Drag has made plenty of dodgy deals with witches and non-magicals. He has a scheme for everything and Rossi doesn’t know if she can save him again.

And with Ainsley lurking in unexpected places, Rossi’s not sure she can even save herself.
