I love stories about witches. There are no where enough good witch books out there though. This is one set of books that I've truely enjoyed. Set in Savannah, GA. The author does a fantastic job of incorporating Savannah as part of the story and I frigging love it.
(Case in point) Candler Tree-in the book it is full of spirits. I can so believe that.
Mercy is a strong character in this book and it moves a pace that kept me reading and wanting more the whole book. I'm not crazy about Peter as a love choice for her but some of the parts that came out in this book says that maybe he may change and not be such a whiney ass.
These books are pure fun. Light reading that takes you away. Just what I needed.
The characters in this book do become so real. In fact, My new kitten just got named after a character in this book.
Meet Jilo.
I recieved an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting novel follow up to The Line. I like the support characters as much as the main character and would like to learn more about them. It interesting how the the classic good vs. evil is less clear as the author shows the many sides of the characters both good and evil. Just as in life they are a bit of both and you have to keep reading to see who fill land on the side of good and who will turn away from the good. Had fun reading!

A very enjoyable read. So much that I am seriously considering buying the next one rather than borrowing it.

I liked that book 1 had an ending. Not everything resolved by any means, but enough that felt I wasn't left hanging. So while not compelled to continue with the series, I did. Book 2 picks up right where the first left off, and it is more of the same. Now Mercy does have powers, although she is still learning to control them. We've already gotten to know all the characters, and they all continue to play a part here as the story continues. Mercy's mother (thought to be dead) is introduced and there is a lot of magic and betrayal and wondering where it's all going. Again, this book does wrap up nicely, although there are still sequels. I think I'll move on to something else right now, but I did enjoy my time in Savannah with Mercy and company.
I listened to this as an audiobook, same reader as the first (good for continuity). I like to highlight words I'm not familiar with (or ones that are just not in everyday use) and found myself WANTING to highlight ... which is partially possible as this was Kindle with narration (so I could quickly open the book and find the word or phrase) and I did do that a bit.

This book is better than The Line! JD Horn does a great job of pulling you into the story and making you FEEL everything Mercy feels. The last chapter, though super short, completely broke my heart. Ready for the next one!

Ugh, my feelers. This book sure did a number on me.
It will be hard to review this book without giving too much away but here it goes. The Source begins with Mercy attempting to adapt to the new roles that she find herself in. It seems as though everything and everyone is working against her. When someone she thought long dead enters her life she begins to question everything. Who can she trust? How can she make the right decisions when everyone around her is keeping secrets? She will do everything she can to protect herself and those she loves as soon as she figures out who the enemy is.
I absolutely adored this book! It was slightly less wonderful that The Line, the first book in the Witching Savannah series. I have found that the second book in a trilogy is often used to build for the climax of the third book, so I was not disappointed or surprised.
The characters and all of their quirks have really grown on me. I really started rooting for Mercy and the rest of the Taylor clan. In the Source we find out a few new things about some of these characters that will leave you begging for answers. There is also a death in the book that will rip your heart out but of course I can't tell you who because that just takes all of the fun out of it!
This book was the perfect mix of fantasy, magic, rebellion and sex. If you haven't read it yet you are missing out!
