The Claiming

"Great read. I felt the story was very original and the characters were real and easy to root for. I've read or seen a story about witches but they usually feel the same but this was fresh. There's love, magic, horror and a ticket into the underworld.

"I absolutely got swept away in the dark tale and was not able to predict what was to occur, which is always a true sign of a good read for me. Just fabulous and I Hope book 2 keeps me just as enthralled!
- P. Hays

If she fails, she will be trapped there forever. And if she succeeds, it might mean giving up everything she has ever known.
