It is said a three hundred year old curse was placed against the Fyne Witches.
             An evil wizard vowed to deny them the pleasure love brings. The curse was
             cast to deny them true and lasting love from their lovers and husbands. For
             on their mate's thirtieth birthday they would meet with their death and if
             they tried to outwit the curse by choosing someone older and wiser, he too
             would look upon them with revulsion and horror.

Isadora is the eldest of the Fyne sisters. She feels helplessness descend upon her when the curse strikes a lethal blow to her beloved husband Willym. With Will's death a great sadness takes hold of her once carefree existence. She vows to use whatever means she has to rid her family of the evil surrounding them. She is even willing to sacrifice her own life for that of the greater good, for without love her life is meaningless.

The Star Witch is by far the most memorable paranormal romance I have read in a long time. The characters are so expertly created you feel as if they actually exist. This is the third in a highly popular trilogy, but can be read as a stand alone. Linda Winstead Jones, stand up and take a bow! You have written one outstanding and memorable series. This highly addictive series deserves a perfect '10'. Very highly recommended.
