4.5 / 5 stars Heat rating: 3 / 5 peppers This is the second book in the Witch Bound series, each can be read as a standalone. I would suggest reading them in order but that isn’t required to enjoy this story. This story starts off right in the action of our FMC trying to gain entrance to the king’s palace in order to save her sister. Lucky for her, the king is looking to take a bride so he is throwing a gala for 4 potential ladies who might be ideal for the role. The witch decides to use the...

I could have kept reading Valerie's and Geryon's little game of cat and mouse inside the palace easily for +10 more chapters, which is why I have a constant need to start the book again!

The first book I ever read from Opal Reyne was “The WitchSlayer: Witch Bound - Book 1” in September 2022. I was hooked on her writing from then on. I loved “The WitchSlayer” which made me apprehensive to read “The ShadowHunter” even though I was excited. Once I started, I continued to be nervous about how the FMC was going to be…especially with how cold and unfeeling Valerie appeared through most of the first half of the book. It was a little tough for me to continue reading. I did like certain...

OMG!!! I love this book and your other books from your Duskwalker collection 😍 But, can't top the Witchslayer. No no no, Amalia and Rurik will always be my favorite. 🥺 I love Valerie 🖤 She might seem cold, but she has a good heart and will do anything to protect her family. She's not one to submit easily, especially to the cocky Dragon who's been chasing her around the castle see what's underneath that blank mask she puts on. I enjoy reading these two playing cat and mouse through out the...
