This book won awards? What?This girl is supposedly destined to summon a demon that will destroy the world. So the guy that's going to stop her decides to take her to a demon portal? Like, if I have a sudden craving to murder pregnant women, the police would not lock me up in a lamaz class, you feel ...

It took a while for me to really get into this book. I think I would have liked it better if Indy hadn't been a lapsed Wiccian. I would have liked her more if she hadn't kept thinking that magic isn't real and all religions are shams. I liked her a lot better by the end of the book, but that real...

A witch and a priest must team up to defeat a demon, at least that’s what some crazy prophecy claims. But Indy decided she wasn’t into that whole Wicca thing anymore, and Tomas isn’t sure that the priesthood is for him… but other than that the prophecy is totally, 100% accurate… right??

Entertaining but thin and the ending was terribly anticlimactic. Sigh.

What would you do if you woke up after a weird dream of being thrown off a cliff to rope burns on your wrists? I think most of us would freak out and probably go babble in a corner but our heroine in this book comes out scared but swinging... Indira is a lapsed Wiccan. She doesn't completely buy i...

Forgive me, readers, for I have sinned. I'm a little tiny bit in love with Father Tomas!This was my first book by Maggie Shayne. She's a rather well-established author, however, so even though it was my first time reading her, I felt I was in safe hands hands.Her writing style—at least in this insta...

Mark of the Witch approaches a new set of themes and ideas. Unlike other subjects, the ones promoted by Maggie Shayne weren’t covered very often in the fantasy literature. This is one of the reasons why I was curious to read this book. The novel displays the story of Indira, a former Wiccan witch. B...
