A review by waclements7
Welcome to Witchlandia by Steven Popkes
4.0
I received this book through the Early Reviewers program and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
Wow! This is an incredibly unique book. I kept trying to figure out what was going to happen and was consistently wrong until the very end. I haven't read anything quite like it. I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you're into police procedurals and the paranormal, and the unexpected, this is definitely for you. The blurb is accurate with this one (sometimes they don't describe the book very well). My only qualm with it is one spot with the language, with is definitely, at least in my opinion, discriminatory against people with disabilities (I keep an eye out for that): "that FV [first violin] looks like a spastic on parade." That was disappointing, and there was no real reason to use that language, because something else would have worked. That's the only thing I thought was objectionable. There's a scene later on that might bother some people, but in the context it makes perfect sense, and that's pointed out by one of the characters. It's really very different than what I was expecting (I wasn't sure what to expect) and I would read something else by the author, as well as recommending this.
