Review: Witch's Bounty

Witch’s Bounty is probably a book that I would not have picked up on my own. Not because of any fault of the authors because I actually enjoy her writing very much. No, my aversion to the book stems from my general ambivalence with witch's as a book theme. However, I'm really glad that I gave this book a good read because it wasn't what one would typically think of when they think of "witch". Sure, there was a magical element to the story because it incorporated a good deal of myth and folklore -- all of which I really enjoy as a whole. So, those aspects of the book made up for its "witchiness". But Gimpel did an outstanding job incorporating so many different elements together in the story and they just worked!I loved the almost Romeo and Juliet feel of Duncan and Colleen's relationship. By all accounts, they should have never been together because of their respective lineage. Duncan and Colleen who should have been enemies or, at the least, tenuous allies, worked together to quell a demon uprising. With each deadly encounter, the couple's desire, passion, and connection strengthened.Although this book ended on a happy for now for the couple, the challenges facing Colleen and her witch sisters Roz and Jenna continue. And speaking of Roz and Jenna (who I hope will also be getting a story soon), they add a wonderful depth to the story along with Colleen's familiar Bubba. The troop has faced many battles with evil but as the demons grow in strength, their individual and collective resilience will be tested. Witch’s Bounty delivers a potent combination of intrigue, action, passion, and mythology. An outstanding fiction cornucopia :).
