Blurb:

Blood calls. Soar, surrender, or die.

Lana Shea is a mediocre witch, a lackluster student, and a loner with no direction in life.

However, when a messenger delivers a scroll bearing strange clues to her father's whereabouts, one thing becomes clear. She must search for the father she’s never known.

Lana races across Dublin, Ireland solving the obscure clues until finally, she is transported into a bleak kingdom in Faerie. A kingdom her father rules.

When asked to participate in Faerie’s violent royal tournament known as the Successional, Lana accepts, as do thirteen of her new siblings. To earn her father’s attention, she has to win.

Under the tutelage of her handsome guard Garret, Lana learns Faerie is darker than she ever imagined and as a competitor, there is more than just her father’s love at stake.

Can she master her magic in time to survive? Is Lana willing to spill the blood of her newfound siblings to find her purpose?



My Review:

Lana is a witch who has only known one parent and that is her mother. She doesn’t know anything about her father or who he is as her mother won’t talk about him. The only thing Lana knows about her father is that he abandoned them before she was born.

Lana is sort of a loner with only one friend to speak of, Finn. Finn and Lana have been best friends for most of their lives. Lana likes to keep to herself never going out but Finn won’t let that happen as he tries to make sure that she gets out and socializes a little. Finn like Lana has only known one parent his mother as well. Finn’s father died when he was just a baby.

Lana has always wanted to know about her father who he is and why he abandoned her. She may just get her wish when an elf shows up on her door step with clues as to how to find her father. Lana enlists her best friend Finn’s help to solve the puzzle and find her father.

After following all the clues they find the entrance to her father’s home. They find the gateway or bonegate to Faerie where her father lives and rules as the King. In order to get to know her father Lana must participate in a tournament with her twelve siblings and win.

Hawk Witch is a magically enthralling read that will keep you flipping the pages wanting to know what is going to happen next. The magic itself is so very enthralling. The tournament was amazing with all the different magic that each character used. Hawk Witch is a great introduction into the world of a brand new series The Bonegate Series. I can’t wait to read more about these wonderful characters, the Faerie realm and the magic in the next book Assassin Witch coming soon.


I recommend Hawk Witch to all fans of witches, faerie, magic and fantasy.
