Book one of the "Elemental Witches" series
Twenty five years ago warlock William Crane released a demon into the world by sacrificing the lives and magicks of four elemental witches; each with power over fire, earth, water or air. That night, Mira Hoskin's mother and father died; their bodies left unable to function following the rape of their magick. Realising their child would undoubtedly be born an air witch (the rarest and most powerful of elemental magicks), Mira's parents kept her existence hidden from "The Coven" the governing body of witches. Following their last request prior to their deaths, Mira's aunt raises her niece in complete ignorance of her magical heritage, yet even with no proper training Mira instinctively taps into her power; small events she is easily able to pass off as coincidental. Unfortunately once Crane learns of her existence he will stop at nothing to harness the power of an air witch.

Thrust suddenly into a magical world; a world in which someone very much wants her dead; Mira is put under the protection of fire witch Jack McCallister. Although fire and air always produce an intense attraction, Jack's pretty sure he can keep his hands to himself until their magicks settle ..... how wrong can he get? The pair quickly give in to the chemistry flaring between them; however both soon find their initial passion developing into something far stronger and permanent. Yet Jack keeps a terrible secret to himself; fearing Mira will never forgive him for past deeds, whilst Mira; still vulnerable from her messy divorce from her cheating ex-husband has huge trust issues and perhaps cannot forgive Jack his reticence when she learns of his past.

This is a fantastic paranormal romance and a hugely entertaining read. With its almost epic action as witches battle warlocks plus plenty of explosive love scenes between Mira and Jack, "Witch Fire" is a magical read. Secondary characters are well developed (both good and bad) and the powers each elemental witch can wield (dependant on their magickal strength) are diverse and cleverly thought out by AB. I now eagerly await the second part of this series to make it into print in March next year. "Witch Blood" will be the story of Thomas Monahan (Mira's earth witch cousin and leader of The Coven) and Isabelle; a water witch determined to avenge her sister's murder by The Dustoff; the evil counterpart of The Coven.

Burning with Brilliance
'Mira Hoskins doesn't know she's a natural-born witch who possesses the rare-and powerful-element of air. And she never expects to find herself tied to a mahogany bed frame, captive of a man who aches to fulfill her every desire and let loose the magick that dwells inside her...
Heat emanates from elemental fire witch Jack McAlister. The Coven, a governing authority of witches, has sent him to protect Mira from a band of warlocks who drain witches of power...and life. Long ago, he saw Mira's parents murdered by this same dark magick. He'd like to quell his guilt and offer her everything she deserves. But she's the long-lost cousin of his boss-making seduction off-limits. With Jack's strong guidance, Mira is luring forth her inner magick. But his sense of duty is quickly swelling into insatiable hunger. He was warned about the natural attraction between air and fire. Now he risks being consumed by the woman he shouldn't want-but can't stay away from...'

'Witch Fire' is the first novel in the fantastic new 'Elemental Witch' series.
I Love it! It's great that the series starts off with an unsuspecting 'normal' waitress and therefore allows the reader to uncover the new 'magical' world along with her. Mira is a strong, funny and loveable main character. Along with the tough, protective and caring Jack, these two make entering this new world a delight of not only the elements, but the senses. Throw in some more intriguing characters, magic, foes, a yearning to know more and you have one extrordinary first book!

Scorching summer read
If you like your romance with a paranormal twist, & enough eroticism to start an inferno, then this book has it all.
This is the start of Anya Bast's series for Berkley & I can't wait for the next installment.
But be warned, if you like your love scenes with the door closed then this is NOT the book for you.
Loved it....Write faster please Miss Bast
