The Witch's Sacrifice

In the fourth installment of Nimah and Edie’s story about who or what is causing them to be isolated from their friends continues. K. C. did a fantastic job of rounding out what has been building up from the last three books. A lot of questions are answered and Javier is around for moral support. He is by far one of my favorite characters in the series.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After finding out that her mother lied about an important part of her life, Edie has chosen to leave home and stay with Damien. With her necromancer powers flourishing under his instructions, she finally feels as if somebody is telling her the truth. But Damien reveals that he is sick, and he wants her to use her powers to heal him. Is it all innocent, like he says it is, or is something else going on?

Meanwhile, Niamh is falling apart. Her daughter is gone; her powers still don’t work, and Ben is now ignoring her calls. Plus she’s still reeling from physical injuries, the loss of her best friend, and a friend’s death. As things continue to unravel, she has to decide what to do. Will she go after her daughter or let her do whatever she wants? And will Ben stay away forever? What can she do about her life?

With the conflicting viewpoints of mother and daughter coming to a head, the tension in this book is palpable. The magic is more amazing than ever before as Edie comes to realize just what she can do, along with the consequences. From start to finish, you will be enthralled and riveted as you trace the lines that connect the cast of characters and discover new things about them and the world they live in. This thrilling conclusion to the first arc in the Afterlife Calls series is one you’ve got to read if you want answers to the burning questions that were built in the first three books.
