I've just finished this and have to say how great it was.
The story follows on from book 2, and is Claire and Adams story.
Claire finds herself pushed from the demon realm carrying a "burden" that she doesn't really want or need.....she meets up with Adam who also carries a burden alto' one of a very different kind. Their relationship is plagued by a pair of rogue demons (who followed her from the demon realm, and who are intent on obtaining the "burden" More...

Well, Anya Bast continues building her intricate universe with "Witch Heart", book three in her 'Elemental Witches' series. Bast has made a very successful crossover from smaller erotica publishers to wicked hot mainstream publishing. Her stories still carry the added oomph that's characteristic of her writing background. This series is building to what should be a battle of epic proportions if she keeps it up! With each book, as soon as I begin I'm pulled back into her worlds of d

Anya Bast creates one of my favorite characters in Which Heart. I love it when the females in a story are stronger than the males. Yet, even though Claire is more powerful than other witches she is venerable in a way no other witch is.
Claire has lived most of her life in a demon realm where her somewhat-caring master performs experiments on her magic, altering it in such a way that she is able to draw on all four elements at once. But the power threatens to consume her if she uses too More...

This book mostly follows Claire, a human witch, who was sent to live in the demon world of Eudae by her mother when she was just a child. There she spent her life as a demon handmaiden, until the rouge demons of her land attack her owners in hope of getting a hold of a very powerful weapon. Claire’s demon owner then places this magick within her and sends her to earth hoping to keep this magic out of the hands of evil. Once on earth she finds that no one knows about witches and that she is comp

If three and a half stars were available that is what I would give Witch Heart. I enjoyed the storyline but once again Ms. Bast inserted so many sex scenes that it began to interfere with the plot. This was my complaint with book one in the series; however, Bast toned it down some in book 2 making it better. I am not sure if she is using sex as a page filler or what but, after awhile I found myself wanting to skip ahead because I was bored. Wow! did I really just write that? Who would have thoug

This is by far the best I've read in this series. We've seen Claire in the last few chapters in Witch Blood (Thomas and Isabelle's story). For those who haven't read it yet, she's the one who aided Thomas in going back to Earth from Eudae (demon world).
I liked the story of Claire and Adam. I was skeptical at first because I've been conditioned to expect only those witches with elements that attract each other are compatible in the long term. The author focused on Claire first, a litt More...

Skipping all of the sex scenes (I read too many of those and there are times I just don't care about it anymore), I find somehow I am less emotionally attached to this book compared to the previous two. I don't know why. MAYBE because this book is focusing on the demon world, and I don't really like it. When this series start it's more on the witches vs. warlocks. The demon is just an additional info. I have more interest to the world of the witches rather than the demon. And this one is filled

This was just okay. Definitely not the best of the series so far. I think what put me off a little was the way the dialogue was written. Most of the time I was thinking, "NO ONE talks like that" (especially during the "love" scenes- which there were one too many of and kind of repetitive.) Often that dialogue problem is reserved for scifi/fantasy, but it existed here for me in a big way. The story wasn't bad, but there weren't really any surprises or anything, and I real

I just finished reading this book. It is the third in a series. Claire is a witch that has lived with Demons in their realm since she was a child as a servant/slave. When her master's home is attacked she is sent back to our realm, but Demons follow her to get the powerful weapon she carries. I have to admit I did not think I would like this book because the main protagonists were constantly on the run, but I found it added to the emotional effect of the book. I kept thinking were they goin

Early yesterday morning I finished Witch Heart (Elemental Witches, #3) by Anya Bast (★★★). This book has been sitting on my shelf awhile mostly b/c I couldn't remember much from the previous two books in the series and was too lazy to go back and re-read them. Well, I shouldn't have worried that much about it. Yes, there's a series plot arc that I was a bit fuzzy on, but the books stands pretty well as an individual and some of the series plot came back to me as I read.

Meh, nothing too special. And as far as the romance goes, "Even though I slept my way around the world, for some reason sex is different with her" is no longer a valid basis for love for me. The whole "she is different from everyone else" just doesn't ring true anymore. We're all different from each other, from our personalities to our backgrounds, our religions to our political views, our genetics to our environments. So falling in lust because she is "different" d

Witch Heart is book three of Anya Bast's Elemental Witch series. Claire is a human that has been living as a handmaiden to a demon in another world Eudae, since she was six years old. After Thomas, head of the Chicago witch coven accidentally went through the portal and found himself in Eudae, Claire helped him to escape back to Earth (Book 2, Witch Blood). Claire's demon gifts her with a powerful magical weapon, the Elium which is attached to her core magic. She goes through the portal to Eart

Claire doesn't know the true meaning of right. Almost her entire life as a handmaiden in the world of Demons serving her master, almost like a father, Rue she has not had the freedom of other daughters. Because she is a witch/half demon, there are rules that will lock her in a cage. But when Rue kingdom is attacked by another less friendly demon army, he sends Claire to Earth and find the Coven witches for help. Along with the power the Atrikas want inside her. She begins her journey to Earth by

I loved the first book in this series, and the world the author established, but I've lost that earlier desire to see what happens next. This was not quite a 4* read for me, in part for the same reason that others may love it - when the main characters are literally running for their lives from more-powerful-than-anyone demons who can literally poof into their room and annihilate them, the author has them take long time-outs for mind-blowing lovemaking. OK, put that way, what's not to like?! But

I'm glad I continued with the series after not really liking the first book all that much.
I really liked learning more about the demons and Eudae, and Claire is definitely my favourite protagonist so far. I also enjoyed that although there were plenty of steamy scenes they didn't take up more of the book than the actual story.
The world building was good in this one, and I know there are only 4 books so i am hoping Witch Fury will answer some of the questions about the warlock More...

This was a random library pick-up. And let me say I'm glad I did pick it up.
This is book 3 in the series, but I didn't feel like I was missing anything from reading this without the history of the others. While the action takes place on Earth, their is an alternate world that was created that is full of magic. And the smexin' was HOT.
I look forward to finding the other books in this series.

This had the potential to have a more interesting storyline than Witch Blood (the previous book in the series). The sex scenes were a little too long for my tastes as I don't care for Bast's style in them and they did not seem to make a lot of sense in the story either, other than perhaps in a "well if it looks like we are all going to die..." way. I like the premise of the main character, though the wrap up with Rue was too fast and neat.

I have to say that Anya Bast hasn’t let me down with a story yet. Witch Heart continues a great series that is only going to get better when Witch Fury comes out this summer and I am going to be sad to see it end.

I liked the plot of this book and the hero and heroine (Adam and Claire) as a couple.
It was a quick read, and it kept me interested throughout.
The battle scenes with the demons were very descriptive and I felt like I could get a visual without stretching my mind a bit.
Thanks, Anya Bast.
Good stuff!

The first book was a real bomb for me, but I am slowly coming to love this series! Tons of action in this one, and I found both Adam and Claire completely endearing characters. Looking forward to Theo's story, as he seems much more tortured than any of the other witches we've met so far.

I liked how Anya continued the with the characters that were found in this series. My only problem with this book was the way too drawn out sex scenes. Really? Do we need so many? I'm not a prude and I like a good steamy scene here and there but I felt most of the book was just the intimate scenes. The female character annoyed me at times because even despite the fact that she has this enormous power she still needs Adam to save her. The intimacy between her and Adam felt so forced. I don't know

i was hoping this one is better than the second, considering that i liked adam's character in book 2. but to my dismay adam bored me here. and i didn't like the girl at all, boring as well. i hope book 4 would be better. nothing beats book 1 jack and mira's story, great hot chemistry involved.

This was a good next book. Claire is a nice twist on the usual heroine in Bast's novels. She comes from a different world and has to relearn how to be a witch. I was also really wondering about Adam in the past novels and finally got to know him.

I didn't enjoy this book and found myself looking for the end. I was disappointed because I really enjoyed book 1 and 2 but this one just doesn't cut it for me. I thought it finished too abruptly too and everyone lived happily ever after. Too predictable, sorry.
