The Dark Witch and the Ruby Slippers
Need some more evil doing? Well, ficketty feck, Amura, the Dark Witch, is happy to accommodate.
The Ruby slippers were an invention of Hollywood, but where did the idea come from? Somewhere in the past there was magik, and somehow, the Ruby Slippers hold the key to why everyone is trying to kill Susan. The trouble is, if Susan dies the world dies with her, but not if the Dark Witch has anything to say about it.
Battles are looming, and the Fae wars of old look to be reigniting. Betrayal is in the air. Amura may be all that’s left standing between the now pregnant Susan and the end of life as we know it. There’s nothing for it though, to protect Susan, Amura will just have to find those slippers and kill anyone and anything that stands in her way, even if it is her own mother.
This is the second book in the Dark Witch series, check out Book 1: "The Dark Time for Evil Doing

About the author
Tabitha Scott
11 books23 followersHi I'm Tabby,
I'm the author of the Dark Witch trilogy available on Amazon as e-copies only, for the moment. First thing you should know about me is that I'm actually writing under a pen name. That being said, I can't reveal too much, but what I do write here is part of the real me.
I was born in Australia but I currently live in the small North American city of Thunder Bay, where having four to six feet of snow in the front yard during winter isn't unusual. I've two little terriers and prefer the summer to the snow. This is a lovely area when it's green. It's pretty when it's white too, but cold, and I'm not a fan of cold.
The third book in the Dark Witch series has been written, and has just come out!

This book was even better than the first one (The Dark Witch: Time for Evil Doing) and I was glad I had it immediately ready for reading. The story continues following Amura and her little group of misfits. Although it is still witty and very entertaining, this book takes a more serious tone as Amura is dealing with more serious issues.
I didn't think it was possible for me to love this character any more than I already did, but let's face it - Amura rules. She does not give up or stay down for more than a moment. Her brilliant mind, creative solutions or simply going head first through any obstacles in her way, ensure that she always comes out as a winner. She never compromises her values, opinions or her personality traits. Truly one of the best and most lovable characters ever created.
The plot thickens with the appearance of the Fae Court and some additional characters. The way the author incorporated the fable of ruby slippers into the story, is simply ingenious. There is also a lot of action in this book. It starts with a slow build up, as Amura and Pulania are tying up loose ends from the previous books, and some matters become clearer. Amura and others are pressed for action, so they jump into the roller coaster and give their best. This was the hair-pulling half of the book for me, and I enjoyed it immensely.
The author's writing is fantastic. It has a great flow delivered in the author's unique style, and the consistency the author applies to her character development and world building is remarkable. I also have to mention that the author's attention to detail is impressive, starting with the titles of chapters, each one carefully thought through and coloured with the author's signature satirical touch. And of curse, there are hilarious curses and the best copyright notice I have ever seen.
Writers such as this one, who come up with great ideas, who execute them with consistency to perfection, and who do not sacrifice fabuluosness of their characters with old-fashioned traps, raise my expectations and spoil me for stories that offer any less than that. That is why I will stay fateful to this author and continue reading her books, eagerly anticipating the arrival of every new book.
