The Witch's Revenge

The Witch's Revenge - S.W. Millar
(I received an advance copy from the author in exchange for an honest review).


Magic exists, and it's walking around us, hidden from us on pain of death, or at least memory wipe.

Henry just wants to live a normal life, go to the University of his choice, and have a drink with his best friend.

Of course, life doesn't always go the way we plan. Drinks go sideways, Henry doesn't get accepted to University, and he witnesses a murder on his birthday. A murder he shouldn't have even been able to see - thanks to magic.

Now he's got a massive target on his back, and he ends up being dropped straight into a magical training school for witches who police their own.


The fact that this world exists in tandem with our own makes everything exceptionally believable. The locations, the people, the dialogue all ring true, and the action scenes are exceptionally well presented.

The characters, their interactions, emotions and motivations are all perfectly individual and handled in such a way that the cast all shine in their own moments.

There is action, and realistic violence, and while this is depicted realistically, it's not dwelt on in an unnecessary or gratuitous way.

Descriptions are particularly rich and vivid without being over the top. Each setting is unique, and the blend and shift between real world and magical is expertly handled, quite literally ‘lifting the veil' between the two.

The author has created an exciting world with people that I'm eager to learn more about, and follow their adventures as they grow in and with their new abilities.

If you're looking for an exciting, well-paced story, packed with great characters, action and dialogue, then you won't go wrong with “The Witch's Revenge.”
