A Modern Day Witch Hunt, a short novel

Blurb: Kamillia is an author of paranormal romances living in an upscale suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Accused of being an actual witch herself by an ambitious group of businessmen with a dark agenda, she is surprised to find a man who resembles one of her fictional, alpha male heroes at her door offering her protection.

Luca is an immortal Watcher from the River of Light. Sent to Earth to help Kamillia, whose true heritage has yet to be revealed to her, Luca is caught off guard by the fighting spirit of the woman and the way his human body betrays him in her presence.

When research for her next novel requires Kamillia to travel to Italy, she and Luca are forced to join together despite numerous obstacles to overcome the evil of many centuries blocking a portal there. Only then, can she return to the problems awaiting her in her own city, with or without this stranger who has captured her heart but cannot share her future.

Reviews:

"Kamillia, the heroine of Kiki Howell’s A Modern Day Witch Hunt (eXcessica Publishing, 2009), is like a female version of Harry Potter, mixed with Sookie Stackhouse and Sarah Connor.

Kamillia, as far as she knows, is a fantasy writer. Like Harry Potter, she has no idea of her true powers. Like Harry, Kamillia lost her parents to an evil group of dark wizards. Like Charlaine Harris‘  Sookie Stackhouse, Kamillia can read minds, an ability that has made it difficult for her to fit in with others. Like Sookie, the orphaned Kamillia was raised by a fiercely honest, deeply beloved grandmother.

The sex? Scorching, yet still achingly romantic and mystical. The sadness? Just as overwhelming.  Are they destined to be star-crossed lovers for eternity, or will the universe finally let them be together? It will take a powerful kind of magic to right the wrongs that have been done to them, but Luca just might know a way." ~Review By Erin O’Riordan  4/5 Stars!

"This was definitely a different rendering of a witch hunt and I have to say that what was certainly hot sex in the story was perpetrated for the most unique reason ever given. But I must say that the ending is perhaps the most intriguing one there has been given to a tale that doesn't seem open to a sequel. Although just the tiniest bit convoluted in it's premise and perhaps a wee bit confusing if you don't read it slowly, it is nonetheless one of the most unusual reads I've had in a while." ~Review by WitchGiggles at Alternative-Reads

“A book based in Northeast Ohio. A supernatural gift that lies sleeping until the one man that can awaken her powers comes into her life as she travels to research for her next novel. We must all learn what our hidden talents are and sometimes it means we need to travel to our past to get to our furture.
Great way of making the characters come to life through power and love.” GoodReads Reader Review 5/5 Stars!
