Review: THE WITCHES OF VEGAS by Mark Rosendorf

Where can Witches and their vampire mentor practice their powers without being discovered or persecuted?

By using their magic, the Witches of Vegas become the number one act performing on the Las Vegas Strip—a great achievement for them, but not so much for the magicians—who can't possibly keep pace.

Isis Rivera is the adopted fifteen-year old daughter of The Witches of Vegas. Zack Galloway is the teenage nephew and assistant to the last magician left in the city. Although they should be rivals, when Valeria, a four-hundred-year-old witch with a long-seeded grudge against humanity arrives in Sin-City, both teens act to bring their families together to stop the evil hag in her tracks.

But can the combined witches' powers and the ingenuity of the magicians be enough to stop Valeria from taking over the city and possibly the world?

 

 

My review: Isis Rivera was a foster child chased away for being “the devil.” Sebastian finds her, saving her, and takes her to “the others.” She joins The Witches of Vegas, a group that puts on a great show with real magic, making them the #1 show in Vegas.

Zack is a 15-year old from a rival magic act. His uncle was once the greatest magician back in the day and now he was struggling to keep his act together. With The Witches of Vegas selling out nightly, it was leaving him broke. A snide reporter rolls into town looking to expose The Witches of Vegas, and Zack is to be a pawn in the grand scheme of things. He starts by befriending Isis in order to find out their secrets. Turns out that Zack really liked Isis and didn’t want to hurt her.

Meanwhile, a dangerous and rogue vampire was roaming the streets and must be stopped. The interesting part was the witches’ show was not just for entertainment; it was a training ground to practice their craft for when the threat comes.

The witches’ final show would be the greatest yet.

I liked the premise and how magic was weaved throughout the whole story.

A good read!
