I loved Kiki Howell's sexy, erotic version of Beauty and the Beast, The Witch's Beast. Ms. Howell hooked me right away with the witch, Seraphina, flying into a rage caused by Prince Amir's brutal rejection of her. Tying in her tumultuous emotions with the violent storm set the scene for how strong her love and sexual desire for the Prince is and therefore how vicious her revenge. Seraphina's spells and Wiccan beliefs were woven throughout the story in a way that has me believing in her powers and being glad I'm not the one falling victim to her whims.

Ms. Howell has created a sympathetic heroine, because after all, who hasn't done impulsive things for love? Who wouldn't want to be able to cast love spells to have their lover at their beck and call, panting for them? This reader would. I'm not certain I could be trusted with magic skills of any sort, but Seraphina has a grasp on the realities of tampering with nature and a genuine remorse for hurting the Prince and then using her powers for her own selfish desires.

Kiki Howell wove an emotionally as well as a physically sensual story. I'm certain we can all look forward to more well written, erotic stories from her. ~Jade Edmore
