Rating: Summary: The Best Book Ever Review: Hi I just wanted to say that this book was excellent. It was like I could put myself into the book and really enjoy it. I really liked Tanner Thorne. He sounds really sexy. I think that Siren McKay and Tanner would of made the book itself. They were so in love but never relized it. I think you will really like the part where the Circle of Fire engulfed around them so no one could see and they made love and produced a baby. I love this book so much that I wish there was really a Tanner Thorne out there somewhere. It is full of exciting and interesting things that I think everyone could enjoy and relate to it somehow. I Love this book I recommend it to everyone.Sarah Louise
Rating: Summary: Neat fiction Review: I enjoy reading Pagan and Wiccan fiction. I am not a big fan of Silver's non-fiction, but I enjoy her relaxed writing style in her fiction books. Spooky!

Rating: Summary: This book is captivating! Review: I had a chance to meet Silver Ravenwolf in person, and get an autographed copy the first day the book was availible to the public, and haven't put it down since. The book becomes more and more captivating the deeper into it I get. This is by far, one of the best books that I have ever read, and I have read alot of books. Definately five out of five stars for this one.
Rating: Summary: Painfully Bad. Review: I like some of Silver's non-fiction, and even her teen series isn't that bad, but this is simply awful.
As other reviewers have pointed out, this book doesn't even read like a finished draft. There's the the continuity error with the pitchfork being discarded, then reappearing; Lexi's full name changes; and numerous grammatical errors show up.
Errors aside, the writing is just ridiculous. The scenes that are supposed to be funny are so campy and stupid I can almost hear cartoonish sound effects and a kazoo music soundtrack. The supposedly suspenseful scenes, on the other hand, are so ridiculously melodramatic they end up being unintentionally funny, like the scene where the assassin sneaks into the upper story of Siren's house while she is downstairs. This supposedly skilled, super-stealthy villain makes so much noise I'm picturing him falling all over himself like Inspector Clouseau. The actions of the characters are sometimes bizarrely inappropriate. Consider the first scene, where a firefighter and a boy, trapped in a burning barn with a panic-stricken horse screaming and kicking dangerously near them, stop to argue about what kind of clothes firemen should wear. A later scene has Siren and Lexi pause to exchange witty banter while the assassin is actively trying to murder them. The assassin actually has to say "I'm coming to get you" to remind them of his presence.
Even if you love Ravenwolf's non-fiction and feel you have to have every book she ever wrote, give yourself permission to skip this one (I hear "Beneath a Mountain Moon" is equally bad, though I haven't read it myself). I read it because I wanted to read Witchcraft-themed fiction by someone who actually practiced the Craft, but even on by this standard, the book is a failure. Witchcraft is a minor, unimportant theme in the book. If you want to read Wiccan fiction, save your money for the Sweep series by Cate Tiernan, the Circle of Three books by Isobel Bird, or Rosemary Edgehill's Bast mysteries.
Rating: Summary: Silver Has done it again!! Review: I loved this book.I could not put it down.I saw the magickal techniques used throughout the book,such as the Altar Devotion used in Sirens initiation ceremony.I particulary liked the character Nana Lorretta the best and her struggle to keep her Clan alive.I also saw things that were in common to Silvers own life,such as the golden pitchfork that was held in the Harvest parade by Tanner Thorn.I cant wait to read more of her fiction! Blessed Be.
Rating: Summary: Worth-While Read Review: It's refreshing to find a work of fiction with a pagan protagonist. The author writes from the experience of being pagan, thus representing paganism in a positive light, and with great knowledge of the subject. The story of an outcast returning to her birthplace only to be steeped in suspicion and mystery makes for an intriguing tale. Ravenwolf captivates readers with mystery and magick! Using the personal histories of the members of the community, the reader gets...more involved in to the lives of the characters, and cannot wait to find out what happens in the end. A worth-while read.
Rating: Summary: This Book Ruled! :D Review: Murder At Witches Bluff iz a really good book! Silver Ravnwolf did a really good job writing it... its suspensful, mysteric, romantic and really intresting.. its about a women named Siren who just left the city after being accquitted for murdering her boyfriend, to come back to her home town to set up her hypnotherepy buisness. She meets a guy named Tanner Thorn who is the town fire cheif with a grandmother that is a witch and is trying to get him to believe in witch craft again. It is a really good book and i hope she writes a sequel! I would reccomend this book 2 all my friends!:D
