Do you have something to hide? 5 GOLD WATCHERS

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017

Halloween. Once only a tradition to ward off spirit by disguise. the fate of the world is being decided with each mission. WOW! Talk about witchy magic! This is one of THE MOST original, phenomenal and MAGICTACULAR stories I have read in a REALLY long time!! (which is saying a lot since I have read more than 300 stories in 2015 and about that this year too!) I love, Love, LOVE EVERYTHING about it! It is both ethereally beautiful and heart wrenchingly sad, full of love, hope, pain, fear and many unnamed & undefined emotions, but a soul deep romance across the ages! The ingenuity for the story premise is so mind-blowingly awesome! Watchers watching over us using The River of Light to see everything, being able to watch for potential threats, watching the negative & positive life energies… It truly is one MYSTICALTASTIC concept and one I was quickly drawn into! And that was just the beginning! Never mind what happens when the Watcher has to come to Salem to help combat said negative energy & the rest of the story! I can only hope, pray, beg & plead that Gina & Kiki are open to writing more! This could easily be one vast, magical, intriguing universe for them to write in and for me to live, love, play & save the world in! No Superhero cape needed, but sure is fun to wear & cozy to snuggle up & read in!! I have had the immense pleasure in reading stories by Gina Kincade & Kiki Howell previously and I have loved them all! But A Modern Day Witch Hunt has that extra something special thrown in that has captivated me from the very start and STILL does! I have read it a few times and each time is just as wondrous! The combined talents amp this story up into the phenomenally phenomenal stratosphere! This is definitely a book that will appeal to a wide variety of readers!

Had to fight my way through it, but somehow I liked it.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022

Kamillia does not know she is a witch. One day as she is working on her book, Luca appears at her front door saying she must go with him, so the Mastema does not kill her. Luca takes her to her grandfather's where she starts to learn the truth about herself and her parents' deaths. While there she is attacked by a dark force. It is through her grandfather and Luca abilities that she is saved. Luca receives a sign, and they must go to Italy. This is not a place that Kamillia wants to go. When they arrive, she learns why they were sent here. Can she help? Can they defeat the darkness?

I am not sure I can say wholeheartedly that I enjoyed this story. It is dark. Yes, Luca and Kamillia love each other but the ending was unsatisfying for me. After all they went through to have it end like that is a letdown. I would have preferred a more positive ending, especially for Kamillia. I liked Kamillia and Luca. I liked that they had a back story, but their present story was more positive. I wish Ahti (kind of Luca's "boss") would have been able to make some changes to their present and future.

This was not a HEA in the way I am used to in romances. I would say it's an as good as it can be romance.

A Good Read, but Not Great....

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2009

For a quick read, Modern Day Witch Hunt wasn't half bad. However, I can't say that it was my favorite either.

I think the main thing that lowered the rating for me was the lack of connection between the characters. I know, this is an 'erotica' novel, not straight romance. But, for me at least, romance is still a key part of erotica novels as well. Maybe the sex takes a front seat for a while, and it's much more explicit, but the romance should still be there. Right?

Despite this flaw, the writing in general was good. Howell does a nice job at describing the setting, allowing the writing to flow, et cetera. However, the one thing I would have liked a bit more detail on is the magical world this was set in. I wanted to know so much more about the 'Watchers', what they are, and especially a bit more about Luca's past. There's so much potential with this plot line, but it was like we only got a skim from the surface of it, when I wanted to submerge myself in the world instead. If this part of the book had been expanded a bit more, with a lot more details -- and characters too (really, I don't remember any besides h/hr!) -- I'm sure my rating would have gone up more.

Even though it was a novella (short novel), I felt like the basic plot for the book was a bit too rushed. The build up, the back ground information, it didn't quiet flow as smoothly as I would have liked. Maybe it would have worked out much better if this had been a full length novel instead.

BUT, I still liked the book, and I'll still look for Howell's future books. A few flaws here and there won't throw me off the author for good. And it could be that I was looking forward to more of a romance novel at the time that I picked this up-- it's an opinion only, so I can't say the problems I had with the book are completely the author's fault.

3 STARS! If you like to read erotica novels, then maybe you should put this one on your next wish list. A nice, quick read, Modern Day Witch Hunt manages to tease your interest, but in the end, it leaves you wanting more-- maybe a future book about the Watchers introduced in this one? If only Halloween wasn't over, I'd suggest this as a good one to read that night.

Very emotional and sweetly romantic

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019

Kamellia and Luca are fated lovers who must do battle with the evil darkness that killed them in their previous life together during the terrible witch hunts of the 1600's Salem. An interesting story of love and reincarnation. I especially liked the ending. Very emotional.
