One of the Most Enjoyable, Ever Fantasy Novels: Witchfire by Austin Oakley

One of the best fantasy books I have ever read is "Witchfire" by Austin Oakley. I learned about Austin and his book through a podcast (Link below for you). 


It's about a 20 something guy named Landon who meets a mysterious stranger (who is a monster hunter) who reveals Landon is a witch.  The author is brilliant in the way he shows how Landon copes with finding out about his abilities. The characterizations are wonderful. I visualized Landon, his mom, their home in the Tennessee countryside, and their interactions with the stranger, an antagonist (with some surprises) who wants to take their farm, and werewolves. 

This book was so great that I read it in 4 days. I couldn't wait to find out what happened with all of the characters, and the author brought the story to a surprising and awesome climax. 

This is labeled book one in the "Hexed and Hunted" series and I can't wait to read the next one (which isn't out yet). I hope Austin Oakley is working on it now!

HEAR THE INTERVIEW -  I heard about Austin's Interview on the "House of Mystery Radio Show" with Alan Ward. You can hear the interview here: Witchfire 

ABOUT THE BOOK: A GAY PARANORMAL ROMANCE

A small town boy. A dark stranger. And secrets that no one was supposed to uncover.

When cattle begin to turn up dead on the family farm, twenty four year-old Landon Winfield assumes it's the usual culprits. But along with the string of mysterious deaths that threaten him and his mother’s struggling farm, the arrival of a handsome newcomer with strange tattoos brings Landon face to face — or more like face to frothy mouthed muzzle —with the real predator that stalks the forests of Rock Creek.

A werewolf.

Yeah, those exist. And apparently, so do people that hunt them. Crazy, right?

The shocking revelations continue as the attractive hunter Rousseau reveals that Landon is a witch and has the power to summon fire at his fingertips. But his hands aren’t the only thing that heats up as he and the hunter work closely together to rid the small town of its werewolf problem and Landon finds himself falling for the knife-wielding stranger from Texas.

As they get closer, so does the angry beast that’s stalking them and Landon must embrace his newfound power if he hopes to save the farm, his family, and the hunter that holds his heart.
