Description:- It’s hard being the most powerful witch on the planet. It’s even harder when you’re a twenty-five year old virgin who’ll lose all of that power the moment you sleep with someone … that’s why Elena’s never slept with her best friend and flatmate, Karl, despite the true feelings they harbour for each other.
Elena’s about to discover that there are even more difficult things in life to deal with. One of them comes in the form of a pen she discovers one day, a pen that allows anything she writes to come to pass…
Suddenly, it’s not just her powers or her heart that’s at stake, but her very soul, as a dream demon with a seductive pull uses the pen to try and turn her away from her reality, and from Karl.
But the pen is just the beginning. Everything Elena has believed in is a lie, and her world is about to fall apart…
Review:- I am a huge fan of witches and having read Dianna’s Vampire poetry I was looking forward to this. I haven’t read a lot of novellas but this one was great, not too short that you were left with a lot of unanswered questions but not too long that you got bored or a strung out story. For a small and quick read there is a lot of action, steamy sex scenes, magic and romance thrown into the mix.
The novella is based on a girl called Elena who is a witch whom lives with her best friend, who is a guy called Karl. Karl loves Elena and knows everything about her, but Elena has to learn to let him in and trust him with her witch craft. They have to work together to get rid of a Shanka demon who wants Elena’s powers.
I really liked Elena, she has some issues with her mother I felt but she has a great power and her witchcraft comes to life. Karl, I wasn’t sure about him at first but he grew on my and they were great together. The sex scene was done really well, it seemed natural and sexy but not cringe worthy like some can be.
If you like paranormal romance then you’ll love this book. It’s nice to read a paranormal book based on adults and not teens just for a change. It’s an easy, short read, but full of action. I am looking forward to reading book two in the series.
