The BookViral Review:
An enticing RR Fantasy that quickly cranks up a full head of steam, there’s a germ of something interesting and different in See A Witch About A Curse, and fortunately for genre fans looking for something original, it’s not subsumed by publishing’s dedication to replicating genre bestsellers.
Delivering a compelling sense of intrigue and a sure-footed plot Hussain’s an addictive storyteller who’s careful not to sacrifice pace for superfluous detail and though there’s a lot of ground to cover in terms of tone and the story it never flounders around trying to figure out what it should be and is quick to find its footing.
It certainly has all the ingredients required to pique the curiosity of its target audience but whereas most RH Fantasy offerings omit (relatively) complex motifs and themes in favour of building tangible relationships between good-looking clothe horses, Hussain gets the balance just right. And when it comes to endearing ‘smoking hot’ characters Lea, Bruce, Logan, Miles and Tyshawn are as good as they get.
More importantly, Hussain creates a genuine sense of familiarity which grounds the chemistry between Azalea and the Emberwood pack and allows their relationship to unfold at a natural pace. Needless to say the temperature steadily rises, but it never feels forced and is always pertinent to the story as opposed to feeling like a must-add to sate the needs of Reverse Harem Fantasy fans.
Readers can take it for granted that the clock is ticking as Lea seeks to break Tyshawn’s curse but Hussain keeps us on tenterhooks to the very end with a final twist that’s sure to have far-reaching implications for Lea and the Lycan pack.
An electrifying start to Hussain’s Curse of Witch and Wolf Book series, See A Witch About A Curse is highly recommended
Everything Chernov writes is storytelling sinew and it’s rare to find extraneous detail that doesn’t move his narrative forward as he takes the time to favoured tropes and conventions of the genre and fine-tunes them to deliver a disturbing narrative which reminds us why the best crime thrillers never age.
An engaging and thought-provoking mindfulness journal penned by Santosh Nambiar, ‘The Art of Conscious Balance: Breaking Free From your Conditioned Self’ is an enlightening foray into the world beyond that constructed by society and its expectations.
Whilst the issues of prejudice and discrimination are multi-faceted and complicated beyond belief, a key moment for me was the day I picked up ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. Harper Lee implicitly drilled down the relative unfairness of human existence into my 12-year-old brain, creating a sense of outrage that has stayed with me throughout my life.
Fiction Authors and poets have always found ways of confronting cultural, religious and social issues especially those where……..
Few Crime Fiction authors genuinely excel at successfully misleading their readers and revealing an unlikely suspect as the real villain of the story and those that do can invariably be found at the very top of Whodunit Bestseller lists.
The bedrock for authenticity has to be robust research but the inclusion of fact doesn’t necessarily make for a compelling read.
