5.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced and suspenseful

If you like suspense, along with your fantasy, this story is for you. The Sea Witch and The Mage is fast paced and filled with nail biting suspense. I enjoyed this short story very much. There is plenty of sexual tension, seduction, a very sexy love scene, revenge, a mad villain, and a happily ever after. All the makings for an enjoyable romance.

Quick read but not enough story and character development. One mediocre sex scene. Not interested in reading other books in series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great short story!
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2021
I received a feee ePub copy of this book through Voracious Readers Only.

This book was a very quick read. I enjoyed the story line and the vivid pictures the author created. It held my interest and I wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. I only wish that it was longer. I feel like there is so much story left untold!

I definitely would recommend this short story and author to others!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2018
In order to avenge her twin’s death and escape the same brutal fate, Athenia must defeat the evil wizard, Merlindrake, who killed her sister. There is only one way to beat the wizard--enslave Thorne, a human mage with powers Athenia needs. What does Athenia do? She stalks Thorne and then seduces him, hoping to suck all the power from him. She didn't count on the handsome Mage being so mesmerizing and desirable.

Thorne is keenly aware that someone is following him, and he means to find out why. When he corners Athenia, the electricity between them is raw and powerful. Athenia is a Nerei, a mermaid, and she tells him she wants him to tutor her so she can learn how to control the elements. Does he believe her…or is it that he wants to believe her because of this overpowering attraction between them?

The author did a wonderful job describing the settings and the characters. Example: Athenia flopped on the bed. Constructed of dried seaweed overlaid with mink-fur blankets from a sunken ship, it fluffed luxuriously against her skin. (A sunken ship? Mink fur? Great image).

I highly recommend this novella, especially if you're like me and haven't read about mermaids before. I was fascinated. The story is fast-paced for a novella and will hold your interest.

The question is: Will Athenia be successful in killing the wizard and save herself without destroying her magical lover, Thorne?

I received my free copy of The Sea Witch and the Mage by Katherine Eddinger Smits from Voracious Readers Only. I enjoyed the overall story. The writing itself and telling of it was rushed. I would have liked more meat to it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay for a short story.

First, I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

I normally don’t like short stories because I want more and the same was true with this. I wanted more character development and there could’ve been so many more details provided.

I would have dnf’d this book but it was only 48pages. I hated every second of reading this. The characters were 1 dimensional and I didn’t believe or care about their motivations or actions.
