I would give this 3.5 stars.

Heart of the Witch by Alicia Dean is a stand alone novel filled with some romance and a bit of action.

Ravyn is a witch who survives an attack by a serial killer, she is the only woman to ever survive. With the aid of her sister, Ravyn works to move on from her attack while hiding her heritage from the police. With the police investigation going nowhere one of the other victim's husband hires private detective Nick Lassiter to find the killer. Upon hearing of Ravyn's survival, Nick sets out to learn more about her and how she survived.



At first the book really had my attention and I really enjoyed it. The characters are not difficult to relate to and the story moves at a decent pace. I did not, however, really enjoy the sudden plot twists. Although the twists kept you guessing as to what would happen, I found that they lacked an emotional connection to the characters. I was also somewhat disappointed in the ending, for the novel to have gone through several plot twists the ending seemed to plain or simple for me. I also struggled with this being a stand alone novel, although that may be just me preferring series books. There was a fair amount of backstory given throughout the novel (we learn about Ravyn's past) and it is left somewhat open for future books.
