Thriller | Romance Suspense

Gabriel Blackstone, a genius with a computer and a thief of information, struggles with a request by an old love to find her husband's missing son. She asks him to use his unique talent of "remote viewing," a gift few have of entering a mind and seeing through their eyes. It's also a talent he's promised himself to never use again. But that promise is broken when he decides to venture into yet another mind.

With a little investigative work, Gabriel finds himself in the company of two beautiful women, Minnaloushe and Morrighan Monk, who are extremely skilled in alchemy and have a fascination with the art of memory. He needs to get close to them to hack into their computer and find any clues as to the whereabouts of Robert, the missing son. Gabriel works his way into the women's lives and discovers there's more to them than he ever thought possible. He must be careful, or he'll lose himself in the house with a million doors, otherwise known as the Promethean Key.

Natasha Mostert's unique creativity is spellbinding. She's able to expand on a theory of mind reading and takes the reader to heights unknown. This novel is absolutely fascinating and an invigorating read.

SUMMARY

The Matrix meets Interview with the Vampire in this sexy gothic thriller abouttwo beautiful witch sisters and the love triangle that consumes the information thief who is drawn into their intrigues.

Season of the Witch tells the story of Gabriel Blackstone: hacker, information thief, and skilled "remote viewer." Asked by a former lover to investigate the disappearance of her stepson, Gabriel's suspicions fall on Minnaloushe and Morrighan Monk, two beautiful sisters who live in a rambling Victorian house in London. Independently wealthy, the sisters spend their time dabbling in alchemy and the ancient Art of Memory—invented by the Greeks and used by alchemists and magi such as Giordano Bruno and Leonardo Da Vinci. The sisters are white, or "solar," witches, who aim to use alchemy not to turn lead into gold but to attain ultimate knowledge and therefore ultimate power. Gabriel soon becomes convinced that his client's son had been murdered and that one of the women is the killer. But which one?

As Gabriel infiltrates the world of the sisters, he finds himself drawn inexorably deeper— becoming entranced even as he realizes that he is in mortal danger. When he is caught snooping, Gabriel must race to unlock their secrets before they can retaliate. To save himself— and the one he loves, presuming she is not guilty—Gabriel will have to fight one of the sisters within the landscape of her own mind.
