Witch's Gamble

The Witches of Vegas, Book 3

De: Mark Rosendorf

Narrado por: Jeffery Lynn Hutchins

It's been nearly 200 years since Isis, Zack, and the Witches of Vegas saved New Salem from the Wiccan vampire, Valeria. Now, Isis is a vampire and the most powerful witch in the world. Zack is also a vampire, and the president of New Salem. They thought the threat was long behind them. But Valeria escaped into the past, where she set history on a horrific path.

Now, everything has changed around Isis. New Salem is destroyed, Valeria is queen of Earth, and no one has heard of Zack. To save reality, Isis must travel through time, reliving events from a history she barely recognizes, and find a way to set reality back on course. Not that she has any idea how to do that, or how to avoid the all-powerful Valeria in the process.

Isis will face challenges she can't possibly overcome, yet she must, or every single life from the past, present, and future is doomed.

YA Paranormal Urban Fantasy

Witch's Gamble by Mark Rosendorf is a young adult paranormal urban fantasy that I listened to on audio narrated by Jeffery Lynn Hutchins. This is the third book in The Witches of Vegas series.

I don't want to give any spoilers away, but I will say I really enjoyed the time traveling that Isis did in this book. I was hooked and couldn't help binging the audiobook in one sitting.

Jeffery did a great job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of his work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like teen and young adult books, paranormal, or urban fantasy.

Scenes with time-traveling are so well narrated!

Summary –

To save what was once harmony, Isis must time travel and undo what villainess Valeria concocted in the past. Just when Isis thinks her problems are over, Valeria somehow escapes into the past and creates a new reality. Valeria is the queen of the world, New Salem is obliterated, and no one has ever heard of Zack. It’s up to Isis to travel through time to reverse what Valeria did in the past. Isis hasn’t a clue what she’s doing or how to defeat Valeria’s super magic. The future of all life is on the line. Isis will face insurmountable odds, yet she cannot fail. For if she can’t defeat Valeria, all is lost, including Zack, Isis’ true love.
