Witch's Brew by Heidi R. Kling

Book Nerd Interview

SEA (Putnam), a Gateway Readers Award Finalist & Northern California Book of the Year nominee, was a Summer 2010 Indie Next Pick and a Goodreads "Mover and Shaker":

BOOKLIST says, “Kling blends facts about Indonesian culture and the wake of the tsunami with a lyrical story of loss and daring to love again... Sienna’s loss, newfound courage and eventual acceptance of the changes in her life ring true in the satisfying and wholly believable first-person narrative."

VOYA says, "Kling captures the innocence and heartbreak of first romance superbly in this tender love story...this page turner evokes the harshness of disaster as well as the beauty of the young soul."

"SEA is a richly woven story as turbulent and beautiful as the sea itself, plunging us headlong into the depths of loss, devastation, compassion, and hope. A touching and romantic debut about the redemptive power of altruism and the heart's capacity for love. --Sarah Ockler, author of TWENTY BOY SUMMER

"From the first page of SEA, the reader is plunged into a world of love, loss, and hope. The heat between Sienna and Deni is mirrored in the steamy exotic setting of Indonesia...I couldn’t put this book down. Sienna is conflicted and compassionate...I truly loved this book and can't wait to recommend it to all the teenagers I know!" --L.K. Madigan, FLASH BURNOUT (William C. Morris Award winner)

The Spellspinners of Melas County is a fantasy YA romance series about a witch, a warlock, and their fight for their forbidden but prophesied love.

Once soulmates, the witch and warlock covens of the California coast have been estranged for a century. Raised to hate each other, their teenagers meet in the Solstice Stones, a magical battleground where they draw energy from each other to maintain their balance. 16 year olds Logan and Lily have spent years training for their first Stones…only to discover just days before that the enemy may not be what either of them had thought.

In Witch’s Brew, Lily is torn between her feelings for Logan and her coven’s need to know who—or what—he is. The young lovers race against time, their distrust for each other, and the powerful influence of their elders to unravel the mystery of their pasts before their future is destroyed.

This is an Active Fiction title
"Active fiction" is a new type of e-reading experience that allows the reader and the author to interact with each other and the text in new and different ways.

In Witch’s Brew, Lily and Logan's fate is already decided, but Heidi explores several different possible pathways for how they get there. She shares scenes that wouldn’t normally fit in a book format and gives readers more precious moments between the two young lovers. As the series progresses, you'll see some normal narrative forms, interspersed with smaller scenes, alternate points of view, and a lot of "what if" scenarios.

Heidi R. Kling’s first book in The Spellspinners of Melas County, Witch’s Brew, is an amazing story about a complex barred love between a witch and a warlock. Sixteen-year-olds Lily and Logan, who were once soulmates and now strangers for a hundred years, they meet again in a magical battleground called the Solstice Stones. They spent years of training for their first Stones only to realize that the enemy in the Solstice Stones is not what they have been preparing for.

This magical world that author Heidi has created is wonderfully unique. Her take on witches and their lives is refreshingly new and readers will enjoy learning all of the fascinating witch facts. It is a perfect setting for this kind of fantasy romance. The characters are complex and full of life. The pairing of Lily and Logan is delightfully charming.

Told in split perspectives between the two main protagonists, it produces the perfect avenue for readers to fully grasp the characters’ intentions. Multiple perspectives is not easy to write as it can make things complicated but Heidi manages to keep it smooth. Her writing style is hauntingly gripping as readers will find themselves having a difficult time putting the book down.

Whether you enjoy reading about witches or not, there is something for everyone in this book. The format that Heidi has produced for this novel is amazing as it creates a spellbinding addiction for readers to soak up everything she has to offer. Witch’s Brew is highly captivating and it will certainly not disappoint. It is the perfect way to emanate this awesome series as I am already itching for the next book.
