Isle of Bones – We Witches Three Book One by Humphrey Quinn

Isle of Bones We Witches Three Book One by Humphrey Quinn

So.  Curious One.  I am gravely disappointed!  I have been searching for years for an amazing series of books centering around witches and I had so much hope that I had found it!  I had so much hope that after only reading the little blurb and basis of the series, I downloaded the first three books and began to read immediately!  However, what a crime I committed!

First off, they are only like 100 – ish – pages each and that’s SO short!  Second, I made the assumption that since they were all over 21, it would be centered more towards older young adults, like 20-30-year old’s; I was wrong.  Third, it felt like the author was struggling to give depth to her characters.  There is such potential here, but man, I was completely let down!

Of course, I’m talking about the first book in the We Witches Three series, Isle of Bones – written by Humphrey Quinn. 

After realizing how terribly short these books are, all three amounting to under 350 pages total, I debated reading them all and making one discussion about the series in general, but I just have so much to say, I didn’t want your curiosity to be annoyed by a discussion that was zipping all over the first three books.  This way, if after you read this, you can decide whether you want to continue to read the other two “books” with me, or just read my highlights. 

So, with that said, let’s begin, shall we?

Beyond the Veil by Pippa Dacosta – a Fantasy Adventure

Hello there, Curious Ones!  I just finished this book called Beyond the Veil by author Pippa Dacosta.

To begin, a quick overlook of the characters.  The protagonist is a woman named Charlie/Muse, half demon – half human who five years ago walked away from one of the princes of hell, Akil – also known as Mammon, the demon prince of greed – Akil is the main antagonist.  Then you have Stephan who is also half-demon, half-human who goes through the book as a bad guy, then a good guy, then a bad guy, then a good guy and so forth until the end of the book, which I believe he was a good guy.  You also have a couple of good supporting characters, mainly Nica who ends up being Stephan’s half sister and Ryder who is a human and Stephan’s friend/handler/weapons expert.  I am not 100% certain if Nica is more than human, but she is not part demon; I don’t think.
