Hunters' Watch Brigade: Initiation

Max takes his duties to Sam very seriously, “not that I’ve identified yet,” Max said, his voice steady, purposeful. “But I’m watching you.” I liked Sam girl knew how to manage her father, “easy, Dad.” She looked up toward the surface. “Good gods. You could cause an earthquake with that thing. Tidal waves. Typhoons.” Sam could be quite cheeky, “does this something have something to do with making love? Because if not, I’m really not interested,” Sam said. He smacked her bottom playfully..." I loved this book, I fell in love with Max, these characters were memorable, and you just wanted the secondary characters to get books of their own.

Hunters' Watch Brigade: Initiation is the first book I have read by Paula Millhouse and I found it a quite enjoyable read. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline and would read more by this author

HWB: Initiation is an exquisitely written, ponderous novel that visualizes the women of today: Women are no longer a damsel in distress, and they no longer need saving. A truly remarkable literary piece you would love from beginning to end.

Hunter’s Watch Brigade: Initiation written by Paula Millhouse is a story revolving Sam, a demigod who works in Hunters’ Watch Brigade, together with his familiar, Max—a cat that lives to protect and unknowingly, loves her. Something unexpected happened to Sam’s mother, and their new ‘mission’ is where the story will begin.

Let’s talk about the plot and characters. The story’s main characters are Samantha, a demigod who saves human lives. Meanwhile Max—the talking cat—is Sam’s familiar who is overly-protective and aggressive—brings the adventure and thrill of the story to life. If I had to choose my favorite scene for that, it will be the scene where Samantha froze Shade—just to protect Max! My dear friends, that is one hella-scene, a very romantic and moving scene.

The way how Samantha carries herself will catch your attention and depicts the women of today: They are no longer a damsel in distress, and they no longer need saving. So, in my opinion, this book simply proves us that we are really in the Feminist Era.

Aside from that, the story was well-balanced, enlightening us about the life of the different characters—their common ground that somehow contributes to the conflict in the story. Another thing is that the author convincingly and skillfully manipulates the story of Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus to create Samantha’s powerful weapon—Atlantis, and mind you, Atlantis will play a huge ‘role’ in the story.

The way the author writes the story is simple; it is very easy to read and difficult to forget She created exceptional characters and plot that is totally unique. This book is really one of a kind, so I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially readers who love stories about demi-god, witchcraft, and cats.
