  “I read this because of the history part, but the scary parts are so descriptive, that it sort of turns you off if you aren't used to that kind of read.”

  “I don’t recall how I ended up with two copies of this book, but I guess I really wanted to read it. The Patriot Witch was okay, but it just didn’t feel like a whole book. It just needed something more. Maybe that more is in the next book, but I don’t see myself bothering to find out.

  “This is an unusual book about witches, in that the main character is a male witch - something you don't usually see in "paranormal" books. And when there is a male witch character he's often cast as a bad guy.
  
  In this case the protagonist, Proctor Brown is a decidely GOOD witch, although he doesn't really know much about his talents, or how to use them, because his Mother, from whom his talents come doesn't want him to use them so won't teach him anything.
  
  To complicate matters further, Proctor is a colonist in the brand new America, who's militia is fighting the Redcoats for their autonomy from the King.
  
  This book is a great combination of paranormal, historical fiction, and history. It has well-written, likeable good characters, and nasty bad characters that you can boo with abandon. The story is very exciting and moves along a a great pace, carrying you along ruthlessly to the end to find out what happens.
  
  I like the character of Proctor very much, and intend to pick up the next two books in this series - A Spell for the Revolution, and The Demon Recoat - for sure.
  
  I highly recommend this book. It's a great read!”

  “Yet another book discovered by my husband, I read it all in one evening and enjoyed it mightily. Although I have a teeny bit of trouble with the whole Patriot thing...what about the natives that were already here? And of course, so few people truly supported leaving the UK, including my family. But it's a great story and full of Pow-Wow style magic. (The Ohio River Valley is full of pow-wow magic even now.)”
