"Once, Max dreamed of a career, a home, a loving family. Now all she wants is freedom ... and revenge. A witch named Giselle transformed Max into a warrior with extraordinary strength, speed, and endurance. Bound by spellcraft, Max has no choice but to fight as Giselle's personal magic weapon--a Shadowblade--and she's lethally good at it. But her skills are about to be put to the test as they never have before... The ancient Guardians of the earth are preparing to unleash widespread destruction on the mortal world, and they want the witches to help them. If the witches refuse, their covens will be destroyed, including Horngate, the place Max has grudgingly come to think of as home. Max thinks she can find a way to help Horngate stand against the Guardians, but doing so will mean forging dangerous alliances--including one with a rival witch's Shadowblade, who is as drawn to Max as she is to him--and standing with the witch she despises. Max will have to choose between the old life she still dreams of and the warrior she has become, and take her place on the side of right--if she survives long enough to figure out which side that is...."--p. [4] of cover.… (més)

I've read the reviews for this book and I have to agree with the good and the bad there. Max is a fresh character. She's not quite an anti-hero, because she's definitely on the side of good, but she's got some interesting attributes in that direction. That said, she's a little brusque for most I'm sure. Her powers are interesting, but not too Mary Sue like - she's not the best, although that healing from everything is a bit much at times. I like that she and love interest don't wind up in bed when they should be off fighting - THAT's refreshing! At the same time, the soul mates thing gets old, but the relationship of trust is built on and really good. Looking forward to more of this. ( )

. Title: Bitter Night
Series: Horngate Witches Author: Diana Francis Rating: 2.5 of 5 Stars Genre: Paranormal Romance Pages: 270 Synopsis: Max, warrior leader that protects a witch she hates, must overcome all her issues to save her coven from being destroyed by the Guardians, super witches who command Angels as their warriors. And Max must open up to a new man in her life who is just as strong as she is and completely understands her and knows her better than anyone she has ever met in her whole life. My Thoughts: I knew going into this that this was a female book by a female for females so I was prepared for the female equivalent of a Mack Bolan book. What I was not prepared for was how many conversations took place inside Max's head with herself. And what pushed this into total female wish fulfillment was just how perfect the male MC was from a woman's perspective. He's never met Max before but he knows, by a twitch of her eye or an uplifted shoulder, exactly what she is thinking and feeling. The feelings! It was like drowning in a bathtub of Feelz for the entire book.

There was no sex, graphic or otherwise and that saved this from a DNF.

With all that being said, this clocked in around the 270'ish page mark and it was really 50-75 pages too long. Many mundane things were seriously over written [1 ½ pages describing buying cheeseburgers at the beginning of the story?]. It didn't come across as padding for word count but more like the author thought this junk info was necessary to the story when it completely wasn't.

This book confirmed what I suspected already, that I don't like this kind of book. Now I KNOW. On a completely random note, I have a coworker who looks very similar to what you can see of the Main Character. Except she is a real woman and not that idealized impossibility splashed across the cover. " ( )

Max is a shadowblade for witch Giselle. She's not really happy about that fact and wants first dibs on killing Giselle. All that anger helps keep Max going when she really should be dead. Max also has a strong sense of right and wrong and caring for her people. This helps Alexander when he is released as Shadowblade Prime to Selange an Max offers him a new life.

Strong world building and characters you can get behind and root for. Looking forward to finding out what comes next in this world. ( )
