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!
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.
