I received this book for free from Author, MTMC Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Every harvest moon, the Witch Collector rides into our valley and leads one of us to the home of the immortal Frost King, to remain forever.
Today is that day—Collecting Day.
But he will not come for me. I, Raina Bloodgood, have lived in this village for twenty-four years, and for twenty-four years he has passed me by.
His mistake.
Raina Bloodgood has one desire: kill the Frost King and the Witch Collector who stole her sister. On Collecting Day, she means to exact murderous revenge, but a more sinister threat sets fire to her world. Rising from the ashes is the Collector, Alexus Thibault, the man she vowed to slay and the only person who can help save her sister.
Thrust into an age-old story of ice, fire, and ancient gods, Raina must abandon vengeance and aid the Witch Collector in saving the Frost King or let their empire—and her sister—fall into enemy hands. But the lines between good and evil blur, and Raina has more to lose than she imagined. What is she to do when the Witch Collector is no longer the villain who stole her sister, but the hero who’s stealing her heart?
The Witch Collector is book one in a thrilling romantic fantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Naomi Novik, Sarah J. Maas, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
"The Witch Collector is a magical, enchanting, fantasy romance whose pages are filled with threads of love, loss, and healing. Highly, highly recommended for anyone who loves fantasy romance, fantasy with strong female leads, unique magic systems, and beautiful writing." ~ Alexia Chantel/AC Anderson, Goodreads Author of The Mars Strain

Why you need to read The Witch Collector
No one sees me. No one hears me. I’ve been quiet and stealthy all my life, used to being the overlooked witch without a voice. But I’ve never been a thief, and I’ve never been a murderer. People change, I suppose.
Umm.. THIS BOOK. It follows a young woman’s quest to get revenge from The Witch Collector who stole her sister to take to the Frost King, and as collecting day approaches, this is her chance to end both.
Most young witches in the village are probably huddled with their families, worried about being taken, while I’m plotting a one-woman uprising.
Raina dreams of leaving her village behind, taking her mother to safety and away from immortal rulers like the Frost King. But her family was torn apart years ago when the Witch Collector came for her sister. So she first needs to kidnap the collector and force him to guide her through the forbidden woods that stands between her village. Raina is from the first page a heroine that you could not help but stand behind and root for. Her resilience to piece back together her family despite the odds is what made me love her, and I for sure, was anticipating all of her moves.
Raina is mute and the way she wields a bit of magick is through sign language which is quite awesome. In here magick is called Elikesh, and even though Raina’s hold on magick is a bit difficult to sustain due to sign language translations and not being marked as a witch, it did not stop her from developing other skills such as healing, which she keeps as a secret.
Only my sister, Nephele, knows that I have this skill. She always said to be thankful that I have no witch’s marks, because the power living inside me makes me valuable. And valuable things get locked away.
Oh, BUT there’s more to the witch collector and the frost king and Raina’s world is upended once more. Plans change and the story switches to enemies-to-reluctant allies-to lovers and it was all so fantastic. Magic! Romance! Lots of epic fighting scenes! You will swoon. And if you loved The Wolf and the Woodsman and sassy characters, you will LOVE this book too!!
