Isabelle Novak, a water witch, has been hunting down the demon who viciously murdered her sister Angela, the one person she has allowed an emotional attachment to. Since the Demon has eluded her, she settles for destroying the warlock (a witch turned bad) who allowed the demon into this world, Stefan Faucheux. She poses as his latest play thing, luring him into her clutches. Finally, she gets him where she wants him - with his pants down; a very vulnerable position, indeed. Yet, right when she has him in her grasp, Thomas Monahan snatches him away and imprisons Stefan at Gribban. Thomas, head of the Coven, notices the desperation surrounding Isabelle. He convinces her to stay at the Coven and join them in tracking down the demon.

Witch Blood had a more serious feel to it; lacking the humorous feel Witch Fire had. In Witch Fire, the heroine didn't even know she was a witch. So we learned about the new world and her new powers right along side her. In Witch Blood, Isabelle and Thomas are already well established in the use of their powers. There is less written about how they use their powers. What they do discover, the hard way, is that their magic is useless on the demon they are hunting. Therefore, they have to discover what its weaknesses are. We are introduced to more world building as they research the demon. We also meet many new characters in the Coven. Adam, the âman-whore' (what Isabelle calls him in one scene), is a particular favorite. Theo and Micah are interesting as well.

Isabelle is they type of heroine who grates on my nerves. She has had a hard past and because of it, she pushes everyone who gets too close to her away. After two-thirds of the book, this really got old. I thought for a moment in the middle of the story we were going to see some growth, but it didn't come well until the end. Thomas, bless his heart, knew what he wanted and never took no for an answer. He could read Isabelle like a book, and just bulldozed over her crap. I liked him. As a character, he was much better than Isabelle. One disappointment, though, was we were given no background on him. Isabelle has a fully developed back story, where Thomas has one sentence. It would have been nice to have a better balance here.

I would have given this book a lower grade if it had not been for the great twist at the end of the book. I totally did not see this coming. I give my congratulations to Bast for her ingenious imagination. The last forty pages had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. That being said, I can't wait to read the next book in the series and see what direction Bast leads us in. It is sure to be interesting. Grade B

This book was ok, but I enjoyed the first in the series a bit more. Unfortunately, I ended up skipping large sections of the book because they consisted of yet another sex scene. It felt like for every 5 pages of plot there were 10 pages of sex. I got it after the 10th time they stopped to have sex, they are hot for each other, now please move the story on!

Too much mush & not enough action

I really liked this one. There was a hole in the end of the plot but I'm expecting her to pull it together in a future book. I'll read the next one.

I loved the fact that Isabelle wants to get her due for her for her sister's death and that Thomas wanted to help her or at least be there to control her raged and keep her safe. This book may not of had as much humor as the first book which I really missed. But I loved the twist at the end.

Disappointing. Enjoyed the first book. Was looking forward to this book since the character could take care if herself (rather than needing protection like the 1st), but way too many sex scenes. How many ways can you say they are great in bed together? Apparently several times in 10 pages. I skipped a lot trying to get through the plot. I got the next two via swap, so I will read. Here's hoping it's not erotica like this one.
