Goodreads Description.
Your greatest enemy isn’t what you fight, but what you fear.
Elizabeth Grey is one of the king’s best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. But when she’s accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to burn at the stake.
Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful and dangerous wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that’s been laid upon him.
But Nicholas and his followers know nothing of Elizabeth’s witch hunting past–if they find out, the stake will be the least of her worries. And as she’s thrust into the magical world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and one all-too-handsome healer, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.
Virginia Boecker weaves a riveting tale of magic, betrayal, and sacrifice in this unforgettable fantasy debut.
Tawney’s Review:
I’ve always had a fascination with witches and magic. When I heard about Virginia’s book I was immensely intrigued and totally ready to read The Witch Hunter. I picked the book up at the Teen Author Carnival when I was in New York, where I met Virginia! She is just as fantastic in person. I immediately dived into the book. I’m glad I did.
The book is set in an alternate 16th century England where our main character Elizabeth Grey, is a witch hunter. She’s part of an elite group set up by the king to hunt down those who perform illegal magic, whether it’s witches or wizards. They’re called Reformists. Magic is considered evil and laws have been erected to put those who do magic to death.
But there’s a problem, Elizabeth has been off her game lately making mistakes and soon she is accused of being a witch. She’s arrested and sentenced to death by fire only to be saved by the powerful wizard named Nicholas Perevil . He needs Elizabeth to help break a curse set upon him by another wizard. A seer told Nicholas that she is the only one who can break it. And so sets an adventure that I couldn’t stop turning the page.
Elizabeth was a sassy, humorous character that made me laugh out loud plenty of times. That’s rare for me. There’s one scene in the very beginning where Elizabeth gets drunk and Virginia did a wonderful job at the humor in those pages. Not only is the character sassy but strong and brave. She doesn’t hold back when things need to be done.
There were so many other great characters! The Fool, a pirate but there was one that did stand out. I do have to say I loved John. He was such an adorable love interest for Elizabeth! He was a healer who helped heal her back from almost being dead because of the prison conditions. They had a connection! It was a sweet romance that was just a sliver of the book.
Virginia did a wonderful job at the plot and the world building! There was so many twists and turns but I never got lost. The ending even shocked me! I love when that happens. The book flowed with such vivid description and intense action scenes I felt like I was reading a movie….I like that concept. Movie. I would totally watch that.
This was a well written book that was fast paced and entertaining. I flipped every page as fast as I could read to finish it. I’m definitely going to be following Virginia and her next books because I have no doubt they will be just as fantastic as The Witch Hunter!

Reviews for "Mafic Castle Inn and Suites: Where Luxury Meets History"
1. Megan - 1/5 stars - The Mafic Castle Inn and Suites was a huge disappointment. The staff was unfriendly and unhelpful, and the room was dirty and rundown. The bed was uncomfortable, with stains on the sheets, and the bathroom was in desperate need of renovation. The walls were thin, so I could hear every noise from neighboring rooms and the street. The location was also less than ideal, with limited parking and noisy surroundings. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this establishment.
2. Mark - 2/5 stars - My experience at The Mafic Castle Inn and Suites was subpar at best. The room we were given was cramped and outdated, with a musty smell that lingered throughout our stay. The staff seemed disinterested and unprofessional, offering minimal assistance when we had questions or concerns. The amenities advertised were not up to standard, with the pool being overcrowded and unclean. The location was also surrounded by noisy traffic, making it difficult to have a peaceful night's sleep. I expected more from this place and would not choose to stay here again.
3. Laura - 2.5/5 stars - The Mafic Castle Inn and Suites did not live up to my expectations. While the room was relatively clean, it lacked basic amenities such as a mini-fridge and microwave, which made it inconvenient for longer stays. The customer service was lackluster, with long wait times at the check-in desk and unhelpful staff. Additionally, the Wi-Fi was slow and unreliable, making it difficult to get work done. The location, although convenient for nearby attractions, was in a noisy area, detracting from the overall experience. For the price paid, I believe there are better options available in the area.
