There's a war coming, a Dark War. Kali has been away from her family for some time. Too much hurt happened to her and she left. She is a Witch Bounty Hunter, even if she is a witch herself. She's looking for a very powerful witch who has killed a young witch. The girl's parents hired her to find her. When the is almost killed by Vampires, she gets rescued by an old boyfriend named Wyatt, another witch. Wyatt is sent to bring Kali home as her parents have predicted that Kali is the key to ending the war when it starts and they need her. Fighting vampire witch hybrids almost gets her killed. Wyatt can heal her and has been hunting vampires for the Witches Counsel. There are witches, vampires and werewolves that is known about during this book. I expect more supernaturals before the ending of the series. Wyatt has secrets that will affect the relationship with Kali. He has many secrets that he has not revealed at this time. I really enjoyed the book. I would have liked a little more excitement and action and not so much sex. No, I'm not against sex in books. As a matter of fact, I love it. I just didn't think it needed to be quite so explicit. Will read the rest of the series. There is a cliffhanger. I received this book from Net Galley and Entangled Publishing for a honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.

First time reader and was pleasantly surprised.

The Dark War was interesting, grabbed my attention and held me captivated. I'm definitely intrigued to see what comes next...keeping my eye on you and what comes in the future.

Please note that an ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review of which this is both honest and completely voluntary.

The warning label on the book had me dying laughing..."Warning: May contain a stubborn little kick-ass witch, a wickedly sexy ex-boyfriend and a whole lot of hybrid trouble."

It certainly held up. The author builds the reader a fantastic world with realistic characters. The love/hate between Kali and Wyatt is so much fun! I look forward to the next book!

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Rating 4/5

This was a fun read! Kali definitely has her flaws but that's what made her so relatable and easy to like as a lead character. The plot was easy to follow and well-paced; I never felt bored. The world building in this is fantastic! I love it when the genre is paranormal and fantasy because you literally can do anything with it! This was a great start for a first book of a series.

Angela Addams is truly a talented author, and this is certainly confirmed with The Dark War (hopefully the first of a new series). After having read Ms Addams Order of the Wolf series, it wasn’t a hard sell to interest me in this exciting new tale. Fabulous world building, intriguing characters and an easy to follow plot, all combined to produce a well-written book. While this definitely stands on its own, the ending does leave an opening for more to come. Please tell me there will be another book Ms Addams? If you haven’t read anything yet by this author, I highly recommend that you do!

Full of adventure and supernatural elements, this book will please newcomers to the science fiction genre, as well as seasoned vets. The book works well and is imaginative.
