REVIEW: The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen

Dear Ms. Allen:

REVIEW: Soul Magic by Jennifer Lyons

REVIEW: Soul Magic by Jennifer Lyons

Dear Ms. Lyons:
This is a witch/witch hunter paranormal and while witch stories are not proliferous within the paranormal sub genre, the underlying tropes are familiar.  Wing Slayer hunters, men chosen by the Wing Slayer to protect witches, must find their soul mirror or succumb to the rogue state where they live to slaughter witches.
