„Witch’s Sorrow“ marks the start the “Alice Skye Series” by Taylor White, an urban fantasy series featuring Paladin Agent Alice Skye, a brand-new fresh take on classic Urban Fantasy elements and the vampire and shifter myths.

Alice Skye has been just hired to find a missing wolf by the Alpha of the largest Europa pack, Rexley Wild, a contract that takes eagerly, much to eagerly, discarding the consequences. Alice is still a self-taught inexperienced witch, making for her lack of formal training with a no-nonsense approach to matters, and thus, realizes the truth a little too late, because this is not a mere missing wolf case, but a much more complicated issue.

The story is fast-paced with a very strong beginning, full with twists and turns, set in a fresh urban fantasy world, populated with all kinds of paranormal characters, a witty strong protagonist, that keeps evolving through the story, actively adapting to the everchanging situation. It is not only a fresh brand-new take, with only a slightly downside… it eventually ends ☹ ( )

Clumsy

Somethings are over explained; others are barely covered. MC wants to snarky and bold, but lacks ability and conviction. World building is slapdash at best, simply forced along with no real thought to the underlying structure. Really, everything is forced to conform to a preformed narrative without basis.

This isn’t urban fantasy. This is simply bad writing.

Some typos and grammar errors.
