My first YA Fantasy book, The Witch Hunt (book 1 of the fairy tale series, Where Dreams Come True) was reviewed by InD'tale! magazine! Not only did the reviewer give it a 4.5 star review, but they gave it a "Crowned Heart" for excellence, which means it's one of their TOP PICKS!
The Witch Hunt (Where Dreams Come True#1) Marie Higgins,
Dusti Miller FANTASY:
The story’s prologue occurs in 1720 Salem, Massachusetts,
with a cursed book snatching two teenage brothers from their world into a fantasy
forest. The first chapter picks up in current day Salem, with
football-jock-cheerleader chasing Rick Stevenson taking on a hundred-dollar
dare from fellow jocks to break into the local “haunted” King family house. His
nosey (and polar opposite) twin sister, Brooke, follows him inside, hoping to
talk him out of it. Eric King, their strange, reclusive neighbor discovers them
but not before Brooke takes the troublemaking book. Eric is the King family’s
“Keeper” of the book, but is no match for Brooke’s curiosity. Eventually, all
three teens are sucked into a land of macabre fairytales gone wrong.
This story is sure to
tickle the fantasy of YA readers, keeping them glued to the pages until the
very end! Although television series like “Once Upon a Time” have cheated
stories like these of their uniqueness, this one is still quite an entertaining
read, with plenty of conflict for young minds to ponder. What’s more, the story
is bursting at the seams with uplifting morals and lessons in the form of
facing fears, respecting opinions of others, and most notably, not judging a
book —or individuals—by outward appearances.
Ms. Higgins and Ms. Miller have scored a winner with this
fantasy geared toward younger readers from pre-teens to fourteen or so, as well
as more mature readers who are young at heart! Lori Leger
