I discovered David Estes on Goodreads and have been loving his books! My awesome parents brought me loads of his books this year!

First off, the cover for this book is simply stunning. I always love the covers to Estes books and this one is a show stopper. I can't think that many people would be able to turn away from this in a book store without reading the back.

I liked Brew but I didn't love it in the same way I did the Dwellers saga. I liked the main character, Rhett but there were a few issues I had with the plot which had me eye rolling.

We jump from 3 months near the start of the book and we are supposed to believe that Rhett is this arse kicking witch hunter who seems to have met every other witch hunter in America. Which he then keeps bumping into throughout the book. Now I live in England which is smaller that most states and I can go months without even seeing my next door neighbour so I just found it to much of a stretch that he keeps bumping into his witch hunter buddies.

There were also several scenes that ended with 'and everything just went black...'. I found Laney super annoying and all the other characters were hard to connect with and I couldn't get a feel for their personality's.

It might be that I'm not overly keen on the witch thing, and I feel like I'm being harsh writing all this stuff. So now I will say some nice things!

The book is okay, it's readable and it hasn't put me off wanting to read the next one. And regardless of your thoughts on the book. You will fall in love with a dog named Hex. He is a magical dog and the star of the show!

Worth a read if you are a fan of witches, Estes or magical dogs. Lets see what 'Boil' brings!

Granting wishes and keeping them moving :)

Thank you so much for this WL book. It sounds like just my thing - I love witches 😀👍

This is the first book I have read by this author but it definitely won’t be the last. I loved it - a witch apocalypse, how fantastic is that.
I agree with redfox5, Hex was by far the best character in the book. I thought my dog Floyd was amazing but Hex is something else.
And thanks to redfox5 I have the next book in the series 😃👍��

Sending to earthcaroleanne for the office bookshelf 😊

Arrived while I was away. Thank you.

Putting a bookbox at the end of my drive.

Sending to Rainbow3.

Good lord, this box weighs a ton, are these three self-published novels? They often seem to be tremendously heavy for some mysterious reason. Arrived a few mins ago, bet the postie was happy to drop this off especially as Brew arrived with its sequel Boil, equally heavy and the lighter, in weight, Darklight! Thanks all as posting this was definately a RABCK!

With Halloween nearing thought I'd give this a whirl as it would be a grand Halloween release. Not an author I know and it reads like teenage fan-fiction, starts to pick up around chapter thirteen, but even so... Reads like "teenage fan-fiction".

Forming a release plan watch this space!
