I have read all of this author's books and loved them... Could not put them down. This book however was different. I did like it in the end, but I almost stopped reading.  Spoiler.....The witch captures a familiar (a woman called Moira), makes her a slave and puts love and obedience spells on her. Despite this, the slave, at some points, dislikes her capturer... I am not going to say hate because she was under a love spell, but she felt (on many occasions ) trapped and raped. In the end, it turns out the witch did love Moira... But I never knew if Moira did love the witch because of the spell.Sometime during the start of the story, the witch says she cannot make anyone love anyone else... I did not quite understood that, because she obviously did it to Moira and Moira's friend. In truth, the way these two got together did not seem right, and I bet Moira forgave everything because of the love spell. I would have preferred for the witch to take away the love spell -even without telling Moira -, so I could be sure there was love there.I agree with one of the reviewers, the timeline seemed strange. The narrator (Moira) talks how she had anniversaries throughout the years, then skips back to explain the first anniversary, then some more years, then another anniversary for the first year. Like Moira, I thought the witch was being cruel, setting people up to enslave them for some years. Yes, she did it to reform them, but she set them up, why not capture those who would try to steal without entrapping them? I also did not like the punishments, for someone who supposedly loves Moira, she surely humiliated her during the punishments. She wanted to show she was the master and that Moira did not have a choice, even in the good times, Moira was never free...In summary, I liked the book, but I believe Moira was and will continue to be a prisoner because she is under a love spell and the witch, despite saying she loved Moira, she was still somehow her master because Moira's heart was not free to love.
