Book Blurb
Xandra Illuminata Smith has lived for the last three years with ghosts as parents but her life gets even stranger after her seventeenth birthday when she finds out that her mother is actually a Witch in hiding and her biological father, whom she knew nothing about, is a Fairy and King of the Fae realm.
Xandra is the first Witch Fairy to be born in thousands of years for very good reason. No one should be able to control that much magic and Xandra was never meant to be born at all but her mother has manged to keep her hidden away until now.
The Witches want her dead and the Fairies want her blood, for only her blood will reopen the gateway to the Fae realm and allow them back into this realm to take revenge on humans and Witches alike for having banished them hundreds of years ago.
Xandra has very little time to learn how to use her powerful Witch and Fairy magic that has been bound since her birth while running from the Fairies who managed to jump realms and want to take her blood to set the others free. She needs someone to teach her and her parents enlist the help of one powerful Fairy who claims to want to keep the realms closed to each other. He will help keep her safe and alive as she learns, at least that's what he says...

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
In this
first book of the Fairy Witch series, Xandra has an interesting life. She lives in the mountains where she is
homeschooled along with her eight year old brother Zac. Her aunt Barb lives with them and is in
charge of their day to day care. Her
parents are ghosts. Yes ghosts. They
drove down the mountain one day and never came home. Another interesting tidbit is that her mother
is a witch and Xandra has no idea that she is also a witch. It gets even more complicated. She is a witch fairy. Her mother was a witch and her real father is
a fairy. She is shocked by those
revelations. Her mother has been keeping
secrets from her this whole time. Her
powers have awakened as she turns sixteen and the Fae are looking for her. Her blood can be used to open the gate
between the two worlds.
Kallen
arrives to protect her. He is a Fairy
and he refuses to let her open the gate or the fairies get their hands on her. He offers to take her into hiding to teach
her how to control her powers. They
don’t like each other from the very beginning and constantly argue with each
other. As time goes by things
change. They start working together even
as initial intentions come to light. Xandra has to make a choice and believe in
herself to do it.
I liked this
book. The characters and ideas were so
different than what I have currently read.
The fact that her parents were ghosts was very intriguing. In fact, she has been hiding her whole life
and never knew. Xandra’s reactions to
everything is pretty cool. She gets
angry which is understandable. Then you and
Xandra wonder what her mother was thinking.
I sided with Xandra for this whole book.
She was the one wronged. So, I
get her reactions.
When Kallen
shows up, that just adds to the drama.
He is such a jerk and it shows Xandra’s character when she agrees to go
with him. I thought it was hilarious as
they fought with each other. The author
made him appear as such as arrogant jerk.
His reactions to Xandra were quite funny. His frustration oozed from the page. I loved it.
Their
relationship obviously changed as they started working together. I like how Xandra stopped doubting herself
and did what she had to do. It was a
great read. I give it a 4 out of 5.
