Kris‘ review of Witch Heart (Elemental Witches Book 3) by Anya Bast
With the immense powers of an earth witch, Claire isn’t destined to be a demon’s handmaiden. Yet this has been her fate since she was six, when her warlock mother brought her to Eudae. Now as an adult, she’s about to discover her true power—and how far others are willing to go to take it away…
As part of a mission with the Coven, Adam Tyrell rescues Claire from her enslavement—and finds himself immediately taken with the beautiful witch. But this charming playboy soon learns that it’s easier to steal Claire from demons than win her heart, for her life as a servant has ravaged her spirit. But with Adam determined to protect her from the warlocks who want to harness her magick for evil, Claire’s resistance starts to give way—and they find themselves in the heat of danger, surrendering to the lure of their deepest desires…
We met Claire in the previous book, Witch Blood, she helped Thomas escape from the daemon world. Now she is in trouble. She is stranded on Earth with two demons after her and roughly a 12 year old’s knowledge of the world. (She left Earth when she was six but her mother continued to tell her about Earth as she grew, then mom died.) She is taken to a mental institution because she claims that she is being chased by demons. While there she sends out calls that hopefully air witches will pick up asking for help. She is heard and Adam is sent in to bust her out.
Before she was sent to earth, her mentor in Eudae put a power in her that the bad demons want more than anything. So she is being hunted by these two very powerful demons. It is Adam’s job to keep her safe.
Fun story. This one was a good addition to the series. The chemistry was good, the characters were believable and the storyline kept me interested. I was excited to get Claire’s story, I was curious about her from the previous book and think that her and Adam were a good match. Adam has a past that he is dealing with, a loss that makes him unwilling to try love again. With her strength and innocence all in one she opens up his heart without him even realizing it. It was fun to watch.
I give it a 4.25 out of 5
