Witches (Runes, #6)

Witches continues the story of RAINE and TORIN. This story's timeline overlaps with Cora's in SOULS

The Norns think they’ve won,
but it’s hard to control a teenager,
let alone a powerful one…

Raine Cooper’s life should be perfect. She’s an Immortal Seeress, most likely to be elected Prom Queen, and envied by the girls at Kayville High for dating the dreamy quarterback, Torin St. James. Instead, she’s haunted by the smug facial expressions the Norns’ wore during their last meeting.

As a Norn-In-Training, Raine crossed the line long ago when she sided with the Valkyries and Mortal Witches. When the Norns return with demands of their own, Raine feels trapped. She must repair the battle grounds and wipe out the memories of every Mortal witness. Torin tries to convince her that the Norns are manipulating her, but she refuses to listen. At least until the Norns’ demands focus on someone she loves. When Raine refuses to cooperate with them, their punishment is swift and gut-wrenching, turning her pain into fury.

Raine plots revenge on a massive scale and makes deals with unsavory allies. Her goal? Total destruction of the entire Norn race. Raine’s only hope of salvation is Torin, but how much will he sacrifice to save her?

Reviews

[Sam@WLABB]

I am a huge fan of this series and was excited to see the story progress. It has taken quite an interesting turn in this book. We learn more about Raine's powers and her destiny. We see Raine and Torin's relationship progress. And Torin, could he be any more perfect? I loved the comic relief which came in the form of Raine's familiar, Onyx and other fun parts like the Crypt chapter. If you have read Cora's books, you will see that this runs parallel to that series, except we get a different perspective seeing it from Raine and Torin's side. My only criticism would be that I felt the ending was so abrupt, but I take solace in the fact that there will be more.
