I received this e-ARC from the author for review
E.J. Stevens' Legend of Witchtrot Road picks up where we last left Yuki and her friends. Although since I read the first two books many many books ago, it took me a bit to get caught up. But it was still a good story and another 1 day read!
Witchtrot Road has its legend and nearly everyone in town avoids it after dark, because long ago a witch was killed and took his revenge on the travelers on the road. It's explained better in the novella. Anyway, everyone believes its cursed, especially since it was where one of the students at the high school was killed. And naturally the J Team believes it was all Yuki's fault. Typical jocks.
Yuki's life is getting complicated and dangerous. She still has the witches' amulet that she stole from last time around and she wants to give it back, and fear is only one factor in that decision, not to mention the nightmares she gets regarding it.
There's also a new wolf in town, one that is very angry with Simon, Gabriel was the brother of Meredith--Simon's old girlfriend who died because of him. And Gabriel is definitely a piece of work! And he has his eyes set on Emma, which doesn't make Simon too happy either. We've been seeing the sparks fly between Simon and Emma lately and they really start flying now, there are more than a few hints, not to mention the ending!
This is definitely an interesting series and one that I find to be quite entertaining! I love Yuki! Her personality is just fun. I like her attitude, especially when it comes to high school. Not that I was a "goth" like her, but I still feel sort of a connection with her. Really interested in seeing what Yuki and her friends will wind up in next! The books so far continue to happen within the same school year, and Yuki's senior year is definitely going to be one she will never forget!
Overall rating 4/5 stars
Legend of Witchtrot Road releases in October

ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of these books before. I'll have to check them out. They sound very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI thought along the same lines as you did about this one. I didn't know about the novella though. I'll have to check it out to see if it'll clear up some of the legend surrounding this read.
