Eye of the Coven offers a unique approach to the portrayal of witches in modern day literature. I immensely enjoyed the way that Larissa was able to write a completely unique and entertaining story. I cannot wait to read more of this series to say the least. It's a refreshing break from the cliche.I felt that Cherry was a very good main character. I became connected to her quickly, and her struggle between accepting her place in the coven and enjoying a real life tugged at my heart strings. This story has a minor romance to it, and I think fans will enjoy it. It gives a nice reprieve to the other parts of the story. The witches of the coven were an interesting mix. I felt unsettled by them and their actions during the course of the book. And it left me wanting to know more about the way the coven operates.This story is the first in a series of novellas. As you can guess, it ended on a sort of a cliffhanger which left me torn between wanting the next in the series and just wishing it was released as an entire book. But I did truly enjoy Cherry's struggles. The world that she lives in is so different than the normal world of witches, and I am glad for the change of pace. Larissa's writing easily envelopes you into Cherry's world.If this series were to be released as a single novel, I wouldn't hesitate to give it five stars. My reasoning for four stars is the lack of world building and character development because of the novella style. Regardless, I recommend this to fans of the paranormal romance genre and any witch story fans out there. You'll enjoy this one!**I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to Larissa Ladd.
