Fiera was born a sea witch with no inkling of her power. And now it might be too late. 

Witch of the Cards is historical, supernatural romantic suspense set in 1932 on the Jersey shore. Twenty-two year-old Fiera has recently left the Brooklyn orphanage where she was raised, and works in Manhattan as a nanny. She gets a lucky break when her boss pays for her short vacation in Asbury Park. One evening, Fiera and her new friend Dulcie wander down the boardwalk and into Peter Dune’s Tarot & Séance, where they attend a card reading. 

Fiera has always had an unsettling ability to know things before they happen and sense people’s hidden agendas. She longs to either find out the origin of her powers or else banish them because as is, they make her feel crazy. When, during the reading, her energies somehow bond with Peter Dune’s and form an undeniable ethereal force, a chain of revelations and dangerous events begin to unspool. For one, Fiera finds out she is a witch from a powerful sea clan, but that someone is out to stop her blossoming power forever. And though she is falling in love with Peter, he also has a secret side. He’s no card reader, but a private detective working to expose mediums. Despite this terrible betrayal, Fiera must make the choice to save Peter from a tragic Morro Cruise boat fire, or let him perish with his fellow investigators. Told in alternating viewpoints, we hear Fiera and Peter each struggle against their deep attraction. Secrets, lies, even murder, lace this dark fantasy.

THIS RIGHT HERE!

Not only was Witch of the Cards magical, it had depth, character development and AMAZING chemistry! 


Set in a time when things that are different are frowned upon, I felt that the author did a phenomenal job of balance each aspect of this book. Fiera is by far one of my favorite female leads ever....she killed it on every level in this book. Her confidence grew as the plot thickened, but she never let the unsettling fact that her abilities were growing cause her nerves to sway. Fiera knows what she's destine to be, who she's destine to be, and that's why I love her determination to figure out every single surrounding her.

I want so badly to just spew my feelings all over the pages of my blog, but there isn't enough time, and we'd be here all.day.long.....so just take my word for it, this book NEEDS to be in your life!!


4/5
