Romance Paranormal | Romance Suspense

Ravyn Skyler is a woman who has lived a solitary life, letting no one close after one disastrous love affair, all to protect the secret she has lived with forever. That secret is threatened in one moment of lost control when she is kidnapped by the serial killer known only as The Tin Man. No one's victim, Ravyn lets loose her power, injuring the killer and in that instant becoming the only victim left alive. Now she has the police questioning how she managed to escape, an ex-lover wanting to claim her power as his own and the killer on her trail, ready to remedy his mistake as soon as possible.

Ex-homicide-detective-turned-PI Nick Lassiter has been hired by the husband of one of the Tin Man's victims. A man scarred by personal and professional losses, Nick has found solace in the bottle, coasting through life without purpose. When he meets Ravyn Skyler, he is jolted out of his self-imposed hell. Unwillingly attracted to the mysterious Ravyn, Nick is drawn into a world he never knew existed, a world where monsters are real; a world where the love of a good witch is the only thing to save them all from hell on earth.

Alicia Dean's HEART OF THE WITCH is a tautly crafted romantic thriller that grabs the reader by the throat in the first paragraph and refuses to let go until the final page is turned. Ravyn and Nick are beautifully flawed characters who find in each another the one person with the power to save their souls. The Tin Man is deliciously frightening, and the glimpses into his world are terrifying. The story flows quickly, offering many unexpected twists and turns on the ride to a satisfying conclusion. Alicia Dean is a name to remember!

SUMMARY

There is a monster on the loose, a serial killer murdering young women near Oklahoma City. On each corpse he writes his name in blood: THE TIN MAN

But while the villain claims to be heartless, he’s not beyond making a mistake. This time he left his prey alive, and ex–homicide detective Nick Lassiter plans to use her to crack the case wide open. Yet, Ravyn Skyler is nothing like he expects. She remembers little of the crime, and for a victim she has a deep reserve of quiet strength. In her eyes he sees both helpless waif and merciless vigilante, in her kiss he tastes both passion and power. With a tale of a tin man, it only seems fair that there’s a witch. And this witch guards a secret that threatens not only their lives, but their souls.
