BOOK SYNOPSIS:
From New York Times bestselling author Maggie Shayne comes the first novel in her thrilling new trilogy, THE PORTAL She was born to save what he is sworn to destroy…
A lapsed Wiccan, Indira Simon doesn’t believe in magic anymore. But when strange dreams of being sacrificed to an ancient Babylonian god have her waking up with real rope burns on her wrists, she’s forced to acknowledge that she may have been too hasty in her rejection of the unknown. Then she meets mysterious and handsome Father Tomas. Emerging from the secrecy of an obscure Gnostic sect, he arrives with stories of a demon, a trio of warrior witches-and Indira’s sacred calling. Yet there’s something even Tomas doesn’t know, an inescapable truth that will force him to choose between saving the life of the woman he’s come to love-and saving the world
REVIEW:
I have to start with I loved the novella The Legacy of the Witch that starts off “The Portal” series. But I had a hard time with Mark of the Witch. I liked Indira, I like the depth of what is happening to her. I liked Tomas, but he drove me nuts. I understand that they both have to deal with what is real, what is not and the strangeness of the past that they share. I just didn’t connect with these two characters.
I really like the idea behind this whole series and will keep reading and hope that the next two books are better for me then this one.
