Good book. I was not sure how at first if I was going to like it but the more I read the more I got into it. My 1st from this author. I would recommend it.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I usually don't read about prophecy since I read so many before, but I am glad that I went against that rule. I love the Divina character regardless of what she is going through. The broody men in this series kind of make me laugh. Always either all in or fighting against or not believing it is not even possible. There is just enough action and conflict to keep me turning the pages. I got so involved in the story that I did not even know I was coming to the end of the first book. It was like I was watching their lives unfolding before me and I wanted more.

I loved it guys. This book was just what I wanted It to be. The world building was fun and enticing. The characters were very well flushed out. I loved the plot of this. I can not wait to read more by this author. I highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this book and will continue on with the series. The characters were great but Davina was by far the best! I completely understand why two strong men would fall in love with her. I wish there had been a few more answers in this book, but I do understand that you have to keep readers wanting to find out.

This was a relatively short, start-up story to kick off this series. As the title indicates, we get to meet the “witch of the prophecy” but we also learn about all the drama surrounding said prophecy.

Divina is a fortune teller who shared a brief, romantic time learning about her magical gifts with her then boyfriend. This boyfriend also just happened to be a vampire, and the person she believed was the love of her life. Turns out, however, that he was more interested in jump-starting some epic prophecy, and was not so interested in Divina’s heart. The witches dragged the vampire, Rori, back into their drama by informing him he needs to mess with Divina’s life some more.

In parallel to this, yet another witch and vampire are living out their own prophecy. Which one is correct? Well, we certainly don’t find that out in this book. What we do see is a poor shifter guy who is tugged this way and that by all these witches and vampires. Poor guy even thinks he found his mate, but nothing is certain at the end of this book. All the machinations that the witches put into motion end up getting thrown up in the air by one determined newbie witch. I give Divina props for setting her own future, but I guess we’ll see where everything ends up at the end of this series.

Interesting read. Not your usual witch, vampire and werewolf. Divinia fell in love with Rori, not knowing that she is a witch and he is a vampire. He left, broke her heart and then returned, but she wanted nothing to do with him, even though, of course there is a reason for everything that had happened before. There is a prophecy, but she wants nothing to do with it. Then throw in the werewolf Aric and it then gets interesting. Want to know more, then read this interesting story.
Thanks to netgalley for an arc of this in return for an honest opinion.

The character development as well as the world building was fine. There was angst, conflict, regrets and remorse as well as romance. However, I could not connect with the characters in this book, not sure why.

Divina and Rory had just had sex. He was a vampire and wanted Divina for his own. Rory had lost the concept of time and when he was with Davina . Divina was a witch. Her innocence drew Rory in. He cherished her. These intimate moments with her were more valuable to him than any jewel or treasure. Three years later Rory felt longing in his heart. Sometimes memories were the worst form of torture. With the prophecy set in motion, he was being sent back to divina. He went to the reading wagon vardo. Rory felt delight to hear his voice again but waited until she was alone to approach her and request her help. Divina told rory she wasn’t helping him before he asked. She told Rory she hated him. She made Rory feel things. A vampire with feelings was weak. Feelings could be exploited against him. Divina ahd once loved Rory but he threw it away. Rory had met her and told her she was a witch and he had preached about the prophecy to her. Rory asked Divina if she had joined a coven she said no and he told her she needed to. He should be happy , it lent credence to the prophecy. For the sake of all being walking the earth he needed Davina on his side. He had never wanted to see Divina in pain but rory had caused it over and over again. Rory winced at the memory of when he had been instructed to leave her behind. She had done what needed to be done which was get rory’s heart to beat. Aric was a wolf shifter and working on his clogged sink. He heard a knock at his door and answered it and snarled” what?” A scantily clad blonde looked up at him. She swept her gaze over him. “ You lost” Aric asked suspiciously. She said Aric Braun he said yeah and she went past him into his home . He was going to protest but said nothing as her skin touched him it was like an electric shock. His wolf paced within as she sat on his couch. Than Aric asked who she was and why she was there. Something about this woman felt off. Selene told him her name and when he pushed her to talk she grabbed his arm. It hurt alot but he was finally able to pull her arm away. Than she asked if he didn’t recognize her. She said she was his mate. He told her to leave he didn’t want her there. Then she said she thought wolves knew their mates. Selene than said she was a witch, a seer. Than she told him in monotone that the vampire emperor had walked into the sun. She also said the vampire whose heart beats because of a witch who belonged to a witch would take the seat. Aric said he was not some prophetic wolf. Her hand started toward him and he couldn’t move, his wolf had been quelled. Aric yelled in pain and fell to his knees. She said he was the wolf she had seen him . he would give Percy his rightful place. Than a man called out to Selene. Selene said they may have to go to plan B. Than Aric’s world went black. The Ember Witches again summoned Rory. he did their bidding once he didn’t know if he wanted to do it again as he had left Divina. Esmine the leader of the coven told Rory he had been summoned to further his role in the prophecy. Then she said it was time for him to step up and be what he was created to be. He would be the Emperor who ruled over all his kind and anything that wasn’t human. Rory was to stick with Divina to get him on the throne and the vampire council. Perci was the next in line and Rory would use the wolves to defeat Percy. But it didn’t feel right. Divini thought it was time she went to meet the Ember Witches herself.
I really liked this book until the very end. Which ended in a big cliffhanger and I HATE cliffhangers. That ruined this whole book for me as everything was left up in the air. So my rating fell down to a three almost to a two but I had really enjoyed the book until the end. I did love the characters and the ins and outs until the very end. I was very disappointed especially since this wasn’t a short book.

The Witch of the Prophecy was an ok read for me. I struggled with connections in parts and I didn’t dislike the story but I didn’t find it a must read either.

Divina’s had it with the prophecy.The vampire whose heart beats for a witch that belongs to a wolf shall save us all. He shall take his throne and rule over all kinds. Divina’s not convinced the prophecy is about her. Her manipulative vampire ex-boyfriend, Rori, is reluctant to give up his love for her to pursue the throne. When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Victoria Jayne is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

I couldn’t connect with this book at all. I am not sure what it was about it. I didn’t connect with the characters, I didn’t like or dislike any of them I just didn’t care about them. I don’t like writing negative reviews, so it may just be me that couldn’t feel it here. I am sure others may enjoy it, just not for me.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
