I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced reader copy of The Skinwalker's Apprentice, which is a novella from the upcoming Emerald Kipp series. The author, Claribel Ortega, immediately pulls you into the unique and different worlds of Emerald Kipp and Margo Pennyfeather. In her her debut as a novelist, Ortega proves herself to be a gifted story teller, introducing the reader to new, unseen magical sides of the world in which we live.

Received this book as an arc. I really enjoyed the story line since I love witches. I wasn't expecting all the references to music so that was refreshing, any 1980s music fans will really dig it. It's on the shorter side since it's a novella but I a,m excited to read the first book in the series now, curious about where the story is going. I Think it's worth a read for fantasy fans, and has awesome potential. Hope the rest of the books lives up to my expectations.

I got this as an ARC. Was a great introduction for a series in my opinion. Fun characters, cool music, and a creepy villain. It's a good little novella, would read it again. I loved Emerald's story, and could relate to her anxiety of the future. I don't think she was overly "with it" and wasn't the perfect heroine who every guy is in love with and I hope it doesn't turn into that later on because that's seriously annoying. She's just an awkward, loser kind of girl, and I want to know what happen
