About this ebook

Love can strike like lightning — but so can trouble.

Lightning doesn’t just strike twice for Adara Grant. It strikes all the time. She suffers a setback; the heavens open up. She gets bullied; a tornado flattens a barn. Addie’s mother has always found an excuse to move before whispers and stares morph into pitchforks, but Addie suspects there’s a connection.

She just doesn’t know how. Or why.

Jake Wilcox is a witch hunter — for a good cause. His pet project is a powerful data-mining program that detects lone witches when their gifts manifest, thus bringing these “orphaned” witches under the Wilcox clan’s protection.

When Jake follows a lead to tiny, remote Kanab, Utah, he discovers a young witch as wild and beautiful as a desert storm. But he’s not the only witch hunter in town, and in an instant, Jake and Addie are on the run from someone hungry to use her gift for evil.

Addie finds a new home and protection with the Wilcox clan, but as danger closes in like an icy storm front, she faces a heartbreaking choice to protect her newfound family — and the man she’s coming to love.

Ratings and reviews

Another wonderful read by Christine. This is a spin off the Witches of Cleopatra Hill books, but they aren't necessary to start this series. I enjoyed the book, the idea is one that I find quite unique. The writing is great, the story compelling. It wasn't a quick read for me but it was a good one. I did receive an ARC but this does not affect my opinion. I've already started book two and can't wait to see where it goes.

This is the first book in a spin off series from the Witches of Cleopatra Hill by Christine Pope. Adara Grant has no knowledge of her father nor her witch gift. She suspects she has something to do with odd weather phenomena but until Jake Wilcox drops into her life it was just a suspicion. Jake Wilcox is a witch hunter, he has set up a business to find witches that were previously unaware of their heritage or their gifts and basically enlighten them and bring them back into their witch clan and educate them regarding their gifts. Turns out Jake isn’t the only person hunting witches, there are more evil forces at work. I really enjoyed the whole story line and the characters are all very well written. Jake and Addie’s romance was set at a nice pace and the villain was really evil. I liked how Addie was made to feel so welcomed by the Wilcox clan and learn how to deal with her gift. The only downside to the whole book is the CLIFFHANGER!!! I know I sound like a broken record but I don’t like cliffhangers and this one is a whooper. Christine Pope writes such entertaining, engaging stories I can’t help but continue to read them. Thankfully we have then next one due in June so not a long wait. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Leave it to Christine Pope to offer us another roller coaster ride, this time cleverly weaving characters and clans from previous witchy series! The premise is based on Jake Wilcox, a young Wilcox entrepreneur, who seeks out orphaned witches, that is witches who do not know they have gifts. He wants to help understand who they are, from where they came and to adjust to using their unique gifts His initial “client” is Adara, a pretty young woman who realizes her moods affect the weather in a not good way! Romance and danger, Pope’s trademark, along with the drive to read one more page is the perfect read if you are under a stay at home order. You will particularly enjoy the book if you have read the Witches of Cleopatra Hill , as you will get to meet old friends and learn about some interesting history that is a bit different than you originally thought. I read this is under 24 hours, well into the night. It is a god thing that I had nowhere special to go the next day as I did not get up until noon, but then I read until nearly daybreak. I anxiously away the release of book two, ass will you!
