Blood of the White Witch

by Lacey Weatherford

[Kim Deister]

The third book in the Of Witches and Warlocks starts just days after The Demon Kiss ends, drawing you immediately in to the lives of Portia and Vance once again. Portia is in a relationship more intense that she could never have foreseen for herself at this point in her life, and she couldn't be happier about it. Within days, she and Vance are gone, searching for answers about Vance's mother. Upon finding family that he had never known, they are happy for awhile, basking in the joy Vance feels at having a family again. But that joy doesn't last and Vance and Portia find themselves in a place and situation that they can't get out of alone. Help arrives, but the horror and the pain doesn't end for them. They find themselves up against and evil that they couldn't have imagined and they need to find away out of it. But things don't always go as planned,...

This book, in my opinion, was the darkest of the three overall. These characters are so well-developed that they evoke the same compassionate feelings in the reader as if they were real people. The angst and turmoil that Vance went through at various times throughout the story was almost palpable, as was Portia's worry and love for him. The frustration they felt with situations that were impossible was almost overwhelming at times, in a good way. I thoroughly love the fact that, with every one of these books, I am drawn into the story so completely that I feel as if I am involved. Did I mention that towards the end of the book, I was bawling my brains out?! The cliffhangers that end each book are so well done and unexpected that they are virtually art forms! Once again, I loved it!
