Hekate's Return by Mark Harris

dark informative mysterious medium-paced

3.75

"A Bronze-age matriarchal Witch society empowered by Hekate’s magic.

A god with a taste for Witch blood.

A battle for the future." 

This book starts abruptly, right in the thick of the action, and as a result it took me a moment to understand what exactly was happening but once I got the gist of the story, it was interesting. 

An ancient tribe of witches who have descended from Hekate and a once nomadic group of humans who become a thriving Bronze Age civilisation because of their worship of Moloch, battle with each other for supremacy and survival. The way the book ended hints at a sequel. 

My favourite characters were The Twins, Araja the Just and Araja the Demon, the first born of the witches and giants. They had sass, spunk and a sense of humour.

I received a digital ARC of the book from the publisher Sacred Consort Media and the author Mark Harris via NetGalley.
