I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Hedge Witch opens with a ton of action.  Cait Weerd is visiting her grandmother at the Manchester Central Library.  They are returning some books to the archives deep below the library when they are attacked by an evil creature, an 'undain'.  Cait's grandmother gives her a valuable book and tells her to run.  Flip 180 and we're now in a magical land with witches and dragon riders.  The witches are attacked, again by an evil creature, and an ancient grimoire is stolen.  Why are these books so important?  Where are these 'undain' coming from?  Why do they want Cait?Hedge witch is a well-written book with lots of action.  It really sparked my interest on the very first page. However, I did get confused when the book shifted from one world to another.  I had no idea that was coming and wondered what was going on.  I enjoyed the characters, especially Hellen and Cait's grandmother.  I did find my mind wandering as I was reading.  I think it was almost too detailed.  I did have a hard time getting through the book.  I really enjoyed the action at the end of the book and loved the twist.  I thought the ending was perfect, just enough to keep you wanting more without leaving you hanging.  Overall, if you love books about magic and brand new worlds, give this book a try.
