The odor of burning flesh and the screams of those condemned to the flames disturb the dreams of young Safire of Long Marsh. Safire struggles to keep the curse of her psychic abilities secret, lest she be burned at the stake as a witch in her native land Cormalen. Forced to keep her talents hidden instead of learning how to use them, Safire is ill-prepared to face the evil that awaits her. When she meets the rebellious Merius of Landers, a nobleman determined to escape his overbearing father's influence, she finally finds someone who accepts her. But their romance interferes with court plots and family duty and ultimately leads Safire to confront the dark secrets of the House of Landers alone. What she finds there proves to be a test of her unusual gifts, a test that could free the soul of a haunted man--or end in her death.… (altro)

The Witch Awakening is a blend of historical, fantasy and the paranormal. From the beginning you fall in love with the heroine, Safire. She is aptly named with fire in her belly and the ability to stick to her guns and not bow down to pressure.

The only niggle I would say is (and it is only a small thing) is that Safire's character seems to change half-way through. She beomes a bit, well soppy.You just want to give her a bit of a shake and tell her to pull herself together. I say it is a small niggle because apart from my slight annoyance, the story still works. It is a will they, won't they get together scenario and I can see why it was done.

Still, this is book is full of court intrigue, romance, action and great psychic abilities.

I definitely recommend this book and I would have given it five stars but for the wimpyness of the heroine near the end.

This book will not disappoint but I would say devote some time to it, it deserves it. This is a well crafted story which will keep you reading until the end.

This book was the June 2011 choice in the Fantasy Book Club for under $3 on Amazon Discussions. ( )

Safire's father is determined to wed his daughter. High-spirited Safire has other plans. As her father continues to seek a marriage for her Safire meets and falls in love with someone above her in station, whose father is definitely not happy about their romance and goes all out to stop it.

It took me awhile to be able to read this book. Once I did finally begin it, I could NOT put it down. Wonderful story...very lovable characters. I am eagerly looking forward to more. I received this book through member give-away, and although I think it's a nice thing read and then pass on to someone else this is a keeper in my house and has earned a place on my favorite's shelf.

Not my usual type of book. The First two chapters seemed a little slow to me but by the third chapter I was hooked. Like most stories it is predictable at parts. But it is a great book. The ending leaves you wanting more. I can't wait until the next one in the series is out. ( )
