Blog Tour Stop: The Witchling

Nera is a normal teenage girl living in Ireland-or so she thought. Her world is forever changed when she discovers that she is descended from a long line of witches. To her horror she finds she is the one that is supposed to stop the curse that has taken the life of every girl before her. As if that isn't enough, she must learn to use magic and her trainer is a man named Bones. He is the son of Mari, Queen of the Witches, and a god. It is Bones that has been entrusted to teach her the skills she needs to stay alive, which wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have an uncanny knack for pushing her buttons. Can Nera learn what she needs while staying immune to the charms of the man that gets under her skin at every opportunity?

Review: The book took me a while to get into but as soon as I was in, I couldn't get out. The plot was interesting and the history helped it along. The characters were wonderful and I'm excited for the rest. Nera had good character development, and BOONESS *swoon*. I recommend this book!

An interview with the author:

What inspired you to write this book?

It was a theme that was running around in my head for months before I started. Never having written a book before it threw me off and I didn't quite know what to do with it. Eventually I put pen to paper so to speak and three books in the series were written rather quickly.

What was your favorite character to write about?

Jasper would have to be my favorite character. I love a rich Irish voice and he is handsome to boot. What isn't there to like?

Did you listen to music while writing? If so, what music?

I always write with my headphones on. Pink is my fav and I listen to her cd's over and over again.

What was your writing process like?

Normally I never plot anything, I just go with whatever idea is in my head at the time. With this series though, I got a hint of all the different stories while I was writing book one.

Will this be a series?

All up there are four books in this series. Book Two, Changling is Sully's story and is due for release on Halloween.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ari Harper never wanted to grow up.

To offset the limitations of aging ungracefully, she created her own set of unique worlds where she can be and do whatever she wants.

Gods, witches and demons surround Ari while she spins her magic, doing mainly what they tell her to do. Given a chance, she prefers to work amongst chaos, which is good because she is constantly surrounded by children, all clamoring for attention. Some of them end up in her stories, some of them even get to die grisly deaths or be cast away to another realm.
