Sworn rivals Catherine Lansing and Jason Thorpe will use anything-lies, manipulation, illusion, and even murder-to seize control of Braden’s powers. But this rare gift is also his biggest curse.Ĭompelled to learn about his shadowed past and the family he never knew, Braden is drawn to the city of Belle Dam, where he is soon caught between two feuding witch dynasties. A mere look causes a kaleidoscopic explosion of emotions, memories, darkness, and magic. DEMON EYES will be published in the fall of 2012, and PHANTOM EYES will follow in 2013.Ĭhosen as one of Amazon’s Best Books of 2011 in the LGBT category!Ī boy who can see the world’s secrets and unravel spells with just a glance.īraden’s witch eyes give him an enormous power. It was, otoh, a fun read, and I look forward to the next book.WITCH EYES is a series of three books, published by Flux, dealing with a small town full of secrets, a feud between families, and a young boy trapped in the middle. I don't see that as either a good or a bad thing, but y'know, seems like a good thing to note.īasically I agree with most of what Rachel said - it's nothing extrodinary except in that the central couple are gay dudes. Oh, and btw - this is clearly the start of a series, and while there is a solid conclusion to this book, it leaves a lot hanging, too. Pacing's a bit uneven, and I think Braden suffers from excessive bouts of too-stupid-to-live seemingly just for the sake of conflict, but this is fresh and fun enough that I'd recommend it for anyone who enjoys paranormal YA. I, at least, haven't seen this sort of almost abstract and impressionistic approach to magic in a paranormal before.
Follows fairly standard patterns (except for, y'know, the whole pairing being two dudes thing, which is unfortunately scarce in YA).Īlthough the structure and story-beats are pretty straightforward for the genre, there are some pretty distinctive and original flares, I think.
Really fun YA paranormal with a touch of romance. I just tend to discombobulate into a scattered mess at the least hint of frustration.)ģ 1/2 stars. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, I guess? Also I'm just reposting my review, idk guys, I am dying of TOO MUCH TO DO.
