Great review for The Witches of Denmark
I would be lyin' if I said I'm not absolutely thrilled by this latest review from Huntress Reviews.... And, it comes for the book that leads off a new five-book series (Clash of Covens), as well as serves as the prequel series for the brand new Gabriel Files series I'm coauthoring with JR Rain! :-)
Check it out, my friends--have a wonderful weekend! :-) ~ Aiden

Sabastian “Bas” Radu looks like your typical eighteen-year-old male, but he is actually one-hundred-thirty-years old. He and his family are Romanian witches and warlocks now living in America. These semi-immortals often live past age six hundred. The Radus have long been in a feud with another family with dark gifts, the Mateis. The Mateis want nothing more than to wipe the Radus from the world. Bas and his family flee Chicago and move to Denmark, Tennessee.
In Denmark, the family now owns an old plantation house (Twin Magnolias) and try to blend in with the other neighbors on Old Dominion Road. As with most neighborhoods, there are mostly good, normal neighbors with only one bad apple. Denmark seems the perfect place to settle d own and use magic only when necessary. More importantly, Denmark is the place where an ancient ring has been hidden – one that can save the Radus from the Mateis. The Radus are only in Denmark a few weeks when the Mateis also move into town, bringing the feud with them. The deadly conflict begins anew.
Bas is at the movies when he spots Daciana. Until then, Bas never believed in love at first sight. His feelings are returned. But Bas is a Radu and Daciana is a Matei. Should the families find out their feelings for each other, the streets of Denmark may very well run red with the blood or mortal and immortal alike.
***** FIVE STARS! Though I believe this to be a book all adult Fantasy lovers would adore, it also has the flavor of a Young Adult book. I probably feel that way because Bas is (or looks like) and acts like an eighteen-year-old. Or perhaps it is because the story is told as if it were a long journal entry. The star-crossed lovers story has been said and done thousands of times, but this is the first one I have read during a coven war.
The author really takes the time to flesh out his characters, making them feel more real to me. The novel is written in the First Person, following Bas. There are a variety of secondary characters, within the family, as well as outside of it. Yet all are well developed and each has their own personality.
Aiden James has a diabolical mind that can take a long overdone scenario and transform it into something new. I can think of only one bad thing to say about this author: He needs to learn to write faster. (I do not care if he manages to write one or two books per year. I want one per month.)
