Witch's Reign

Publisher's Summary

The Witch's Reign...a land of unnatural hellish cold ruled over by the Ice Witch herself, who is in turn guarded by three creatures - Wolf, Bear, and Raven. Those lovely beasts derive their power directly from their mistress and just happen to kill any who cross their paths. To get there, you first must pass through the Dragon's Ground. Full of, you guessed it, dragons who for the record, also do not like trespassers.

Sounds like a fun place to go, doesn't it?

Yeah, not so much.

You see the thing is my best friend, Darcy was sent with a team into the Witch's Reign to recover a powerful jewel that belongs to our mentor, and they are long overdue to come back.

That leaves me, Zamira "Reckless" Wilson to go after my friend because no one else will.

Somehow, I get saddled with a human - a male no less! - tagging along for the ride. A human that is as weak and useless as my shifting abilities.

Throw in a weapon that might be trying to kill me, and a small dragon that has a penchant for Shakespearean insults, and you've got my life in a nutshell.

May the sands of the desert swallow me whole because this is going to be a friggin bumpy ride.

Great but

Ok I really enjoyed the story and plot so far the series is keeping me busy I like the narrator the only thing keeping me from giving this book a 5 star is the heroine, seriously why do authors make them so stupid I mean seriously being nice is one thing but to keep helping someone who is a complete douchebag bugs me. Also, she never speaks up for herself and just makes herself seem week because she is stupid enough to let others keep using her over and over I just can’t stand those types of heroines

Mayer delivers again!

Witch’s Reign is set in the Rylee Adamson world. Ms. Mayer includes characters we’ve met previously such as Alex (from the Rylee Adamson series) and Merlin & Flora (from the Venom Trilogy) very seamlessly. Zamira, a downtrodden feline shifter beaten down by self loathing and an ex-lover, finds herself in insurmountable odds at every turn. The story will have you sitting at the end of your seat hollering and rooting for the underdogs as Zamira faces down enemies much stronger and bigger than she is in her human and shifted forms. There is non-stop action right from the start whether it is with an enemy, loved one, or an ex-mate. The witty banter will have you smiling and wanting more. I hope to see more from Lyla and Max! Great story with excitement from the very start and I’m looking forward to Dragon’s Cursed. Lauren Fortgang did an awesome job narrating by providing unique voices for each character, tone inflections, and speed of reading.

should be the second or third book

I'm on chapter 5 and the amount of missing information that the characters are talking is making this book feel like you should have at least read one or two books before it. the references such as the main characters relationship the situation the book starts out in and the relationship that the main character has with her father also the 2 random people that are talking about an (emperor) or choosing a champion?

It was OK...

I did like this book, but some things confused me. The descriptions of the places they travelled to were minimal so in my head it was mostly a foggy haze. Another insta-romance. There's SOME restraint, but I would've liked even more. They came together too quickly. Like Disney, only it wasn't at once, but after 2 days. So only Slightly better.
I also had to go back and re-listen to some parts because I felt like I missed something. Zamira would be talking about / doing something and suddenly something else was taking place and it confused me. I'm still confused. Also, not much character development. They're kind of 2D... Not very deep. But I do love Zamira.

I’m awaiting book two

It’s a pretty good story of adventure with a little romance and a strong heroine. The kind of books I am into right now. It held my interest & my desire to get the next in the series. I’m pretty quick to return a book so that’s saying something. But it’s not so good that I’m losing sleep over waiting.

This stroy is the best story i must say that i have listened to. The description helps you to be right there with the narrator or with the story. Everything is really wonderful and i cant wait to read the rest.

Fun story

I’ve never heard of this author, but stumbled across this book. It was a great story with action, adventure, humor, and a hint at romance to come. I just bought book 2!
