Heart of a Witch by Rebecca L. Garcia
5.0
◦ I've received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ◦
The story begins with Victoria doing a ritual in the middle of the night to enchant the necklaces that will protect her family and hide their magic – especially now that Damian Shaw is in town, they need to be extra careful. However, Victoria’s sister doesn’t think is that dangerous and her decisions are putting everyone at risk and that’s the moment when everything takes a turn for the worst.
I didn’t know what to expect when I first started reading Heart of a Witch, but it definitely caught me off guard and made me go into a reading slump afterward. The story is being told from more than one pov which gives you an insight into what everyone’s going through and their feelings or reactions regarding different events. What I’ve also enjoyed was the fact that you’re a couple of chapters in, and the first plot twist appears which hooks you even more to the story.
There might be some triggers for some people, such as animal sacrifice, human sacrifice, murder, abuse – these aren’t very descriptive but they’re enough to make you a little bit uncomfortable. There’s also plenty of harsh language, mention of spiders and snakes, and a smutty event. I had no issue with all the things mentioned other than the spiders because I hate them and they really gave me weird feelings reading about them, even tho they were mentioned very little.
I’ve never read a witch book that would be this dark and twisted as this one – which made me love it even more, so if you’re enjoying dark witchy stories with some romance and a little bit of spice, this is for you!
The magic system is mostly based on dark magic but also good magic (but is not very often used). The dark magic always comes with a cost, besides the sacrifice it also takes a toll on the mind of the person that does the rituals, these events in the book were so amazingly described and they felt so real.
Surprisingly I’ve loved each character in this book minus Damian Shaw for obvious reasons – he in my opinion is the evilest person. Corbin on the other hand he is our perfect bookworm and I’ve enjoyed that side of him, he as us, likes fiction!
The book also contains a very spicy moment which I’ve enjoyed a lot. I can’t say it was very smutty compared to other books I’ve read but is definitely not a “clean, clean” story and that event has been built on a lot of tension until that tension was released ;).
Overall the book has been really amazing. I’ve loved the dark side of it the plot twist and the spicy moment. Each combined together made this a great read.
