Book Description: A witch and a hunter. Vengeance is their mission. Love is their destiny.
Fritzi is a witch. A survivor of a brutal attack on her coven, she’s determined to find her only surviving family member and bring the hexenjägers—zealot witch hunters—to justice for the lives they ended. To do this, she will need to take down their leader—Kommandant Dieter Kirch.
Otto is a hexenjäger and a captain, the second in command to Dieter Kirch—but that’s just his cover. Years ago, the hexenjagers burned his innocent mother alive and since then, he has been planning a move against the witch hunters that tore his family apart. And now the time has come for them to pay for what they’ve done.
When Fritzi and Otto are unexpectedly thrown together, neither is sure they can trust the other, despite their common enemy. But all they have is one another, and they both crave revenge. As truths come to light and trust shifts, Fritzi and Otto uncover a far more horrifying plot at the center of the hexenjäger attacks . . . but their own growing feelings for each other may be the most powerful magic of all.
Review: I was able to meet the authors and snag a signed ARC of this way back at the ALA convention in June. Since then, I’ve been regularly pulling it out and trying to decide how early is too early to start reading a book that doesn’t release until October. But the day finally arrived, and this book, while not exactly what I was expecting, definitely lived up to my wildest dreams!
I don’t know why I had this in my head, but I definitely thought this was going to be a single POV book. Now, reading the book description, it seems pretty obvious that it was not going to be that. Honestly, I probably went in with a more optimistic attitude because of this misconception, as dual POV YA fantasy books rarely really work for me. But I’m happy to always be reminded that there are exceptions to that rule! Here, we see the proper equation to creating a dynamic dual POV book.
First, it starts with voice. It was supremely easy to tell the difference in narrative style between Fritzi and Otto. This doesn’t come down to any quirks in dialect or anything like that, but more the clearly different ways the two characters observe and relate to the world around them. Their senses of humor, levels of cynicism, and the various weights of emotional baggage are clearly different from one another, allowing readers to feel fully immersed both characters’ head.
Second, they each have a distinctive arc from one another, without one over-shadowing the other or their combined arcs turning out to be essentially the same story. Yes, they experience many of the same events, but their motivations, choices, and priorities are very much built up on the many years of life they bring to the current situation, lives that were very different from one another. While they find themselves with common enemies, they each have been coming at the problem from unique perspectives. What’s more, they have very, VERY, different relationships with the players involved, affecting how they each process and respond to certain situations.
Third, they have a joint arc that perfectly ties together their separate story lines and weaves a greater overarching plot line. I really appreciated the slow-burn nature of the romance, with each having to slowly come to trust and rely on the other. It’s never believable when I read these “enemy to lovers” stories where the pair immediately seems to get over whatever made them “enemies” to begin with and then just jump easily to “lovers” with no stumbling blocks of distrust, betrayal, or misunderstanding to be found. Here, these characters must quite naturally, over time, come to understand what makes up the other, and thus grow to love and respect them. It also helps that the “enemy” portion of their storyline is largely built on a misunderstanding, albeit it a natural and, in fact, necessary one. It would be truly hard to buy any story that saw a witch fall in love with an actual witch hunter. Instead, the authors found a clever way of side-stepping the issue while still getting at the juicy drama of it all.
I also am really enjoying this current trend towards Germanic fantasy and folklore. (Spoilers, I’ll be reading another Germanic fantasy here in another few weeks!) This book, specifically, included a lot of references to the historical and religious influences that played a role in the region, as well as a good dose of actual German words and phrases. While much of this was on the periphery of the main story, I appreciated these small touches.
I also liked the magic, fantasy, and witchy-ness of this story. While I was able to guess a few of the major reveals about this magic and the players involved, it was all interesting enough to keep me fully engaged with the story throughout. My one major complaint comes down to the ending of the book. It felt like the story had come to a nice, natural conclusion, leaving us with the rare, unicorn of a stand-alone YA fantasy. But alas, at the very last minute, and I mean very last minute, we get a reveal that effectively undoes this resolution. While I’m happy to return to these characters and this world, I’m not sure this ending actually benefited this book on its own merit.
Rating 8: Stellar! Full of danger, intrigue, and forbidden romance, this is how you do enemies-to-lovers stories right!
Reader’s Advisory:

Reviews for "A Natural Approach to Rodent Control: Bonide Mouse Magic Repellent"
- John - 1 out of 5 stars - I purchased the Bonide mouse magic repellent hoping that it would deter mice from entering my home. However, it did absolutely nothing. The mice continued to roam freely without any signs of being affected by this product. I followed the instructions carefully and placed the repellent in areas where I had previously seen mice activity, but it was completely ineffective. I ended up having to call an exterminator to deal with the issue, which was an additional expense. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for an effective mouse repellent.
- Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for the Bonide mouse magic repellent, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. I tried using it in different areas of my home where I had seen mice, but they seemed completely unaffected by it. The smell of the product was quite strong and unpleasant, which was another downside. I continued to see mice running around my house, even after using this repellent for several weeks. Overall, I was disappointed with this product and would not purchase it again.
- Brian - 1 out of 5 stars - The Bonide mouse magic repellent did absolutely nothing to keep mice away from my home. I followed the instructions and placed the repellent in areas of high mouse activity, but there was no change whatsoever. The product claims to be all-natural, but it clearly lacks effectiveness. I had to resort to using traps and poison to deal with the mouse problem, rendering this repellent useless. It was a waste of money and I would not recommend it to anyone dealing with a mouse infestation.
- Amy - 2 out of 5 stars - I was not impressed with the Bonide mouse magic repellent. Despite using it as directed, I did not notice any decrease in mice activity in my home. The odor of the product was quite strong and lingered in the areas where I placed it, which was unpleasant. Additionally, the pellets were quite messy and left behind a residue that I had to clean up. Overall, I did not find this repellent to be effective and would not purchase it again.
