Review: The Wolf vs. the Witch by Lauretta Hignett

The Wolf vs. the Witch is the 4th book in The Hidden City Supernatural Sleuths series.

This book was SOOO excellent, and so very, very satisfying!! The plotting is fabulous, as always, but ultimately, it's the characters that reallly grab you and pull you in deep.

I'm really thrilled seeing Daphne and Romeo beginning to explore what's between them, and well, Daphne and Brain Daphne seem to be also coming to terms with each other (can I just say here, I adore Brain Daphne!). Also, very oddly, the soul-stealer pigeon Stephen is actually starting to grow on me. He's still a scumsucking pestilence, but ... I'm starting to perk up every time he shows up, LOL!!!

Oh, and in the (extremely unlikely) event I ever get hit on by an undesirable guy, I am TOTALLY going to remember the dead Mom's cats strategy! That is just so rockin', and I swear, I spit my tea across the table when I read it!!

I love Myf, but that poor girl is gonna need a ton of therapy. Seriously. I just want to hold her close and pet her hair and tell her everything is going to be all right.

One thing I just have to say... Judy has to GO! or at least, I really, REALLY want her to get some consequences. Seriously. She really bugs me, and it's just not fair that she gets away with doing nothing, and picking on her coworkers. For everyone, everywhere, who's had to deal with coworkers like this... let's see some revenge! mwah.

On the flip side, I have to also say, I absolutely ADORE the Countess! Yes, she's utterly ruthless and truly, bone-chillingly terrifying... but I still want to be here when I grow up!!!

I finished this book with a sigh of almost-satisfaction (spoilers, can't say more), and I cannot WAIT for the next book!!! I'm well and truly hooked!
