Time of the Sorceress, Immortal Sorceress Book 4

I admit going into this book that I thought it was the last one, but I was wrong. Boy was I wrong! This latest installment in this series is filled with mental wounds healing, new physical wounds healing, and bonds of trust broken. There’s a traitor in their midst that they didn’t see coming, and to be honest, I didn’t either. Finally, finally, we see where all the hate and loathing are coming from, and now they’re ready to take their enemies on, head-first. This is a wonderful addition to the series, and I’m ready for what is coming next. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Again - I’m not sure how it’s possible that each book continues to get better and better. Krista masterfully weaves a story that will have you on the edge of your seat the entire book!

This book had me emotional from the beginning… Kat and Emricks situation has always been a double edged swords and has always broke my heart - as all I want for them is their happily ever after. Krista turned the anguish up a notch in their relationship and I eagerly am awaiting the next book to continue the story! This book is filled with action, betrayal, suspicion… you’ll have a hard time putting it down. I continue to love how strong Kat comes back… even after being at her lowest! The love and support her chosen family gives is just the icing on the cake in this story!

You will not regret reading this one!

It's such a pleasure to read about Kat and Co. It's like coming home after a hard day at work. I'm ready for more Kat so I'm looking forward to reading the next one.

Krista has done it again! This is book 4 of the Immortal Sorceress series and I am still reeling from the loss in the last book - as are all the characters in this book. Kat and Barrett have now formed a bond of friendship that neither of them expected. While unsure what to do next, someone has poisoned Kat and taken her magic away from her. She is now mortal and her tether to Emrick has been reduced to barely holding on. While trying to get answers, Rhys gets a vision that it is someone Kat trusts that has turned against her and taken away her magic. From then on, it’s an emotional ride for everyone in the house. Kat and Emrick suspect everyone. Kat second guesses her relationships with her family. She is also terrified of being mortal and actually dying a real death, which has everyone on edge and scrambling to find a cure. This another emotional book that had me choked up for several parts of the book, wondering what would happen and if Kat would survive. I had my theory about who was behind all the horrible things happening to Kat and I was partially correct. There ended up being so much more to it than I could have expected! I love the newly formed friendship and loyalty between Kat and Barrett. After years of tormenting each other, they have finally realized how much they care about each other. And I was so heartbroken when Kat and Emrick had to stay apart. Poor Maera and her guilt, Rhys and his helplessness and Poppy and Marisa’s determination. This book really gives all the feels! After finding out how much more there was to the story, I can’t wait for the next and final book in the series!

I think everyone who's read a Krista Walsh story will know she is a master of writing gripping action scenes. Well, after reading Time Of The Sorceress, I don't think there will be any argument that she can also add 'Master Of Writing Emotions' to her resume!

Most of this book is inwards focussed, a character study, so instead of fights and long road trips, we see a somber group in Toronto. They are all, understandably, still coming to terms with the events of the last book, and then the heartbreaking beginning of this one. Kat, Emrick, Barrett, Gavin, Poppy, Murissa, Maera and Rhys are clinging tighter than ever to their found family and the one they all perceive as it's heart. Introspection has been born from grief and anger, letting us witness beautifully written, insightful and sensitive growth in everyone. The author has dug down into feelings, motivations and responses so we can follow these changes, as she depicts them in her accomplished prose.

Krista Walsh has a gift for bringing readers into her worlds and keeping them engrossed for hundreds of pages, as if time has ceased to pass. I was grabbed by the heart from the start of this book and remained fully immersed in the story until the last page. The twist was a shock and I look forward to the repercussions of it in the next book.
