Well, this book was not suited for me. I tried reading it, but could not continue after a few pages.
Sorry, was not my cup of tea.
My best wishes to the entire team though. I had come across many good reviews of the book.

The Witch Who Came In From The Cold has quickly become one of my favourite series. The stories are super short (two or three chapters long) and take place during the Cold War. So forget about the whole CIA vs. KGB spy game, the real story here is a secret battle between the Consortium of Ice and the Acolytes of Flame, two magical factions. It's hard to completely explain everything without giving so much away! You just really need to read "season one".

Awakening, the first story in season two, was just as good or even better than its predecessors. So much happened near the end of the previous season and this story certainly started with a bang. It featured all of the things that I loved about the first set of stories and added in a couple of new items to keep me interested in finding out what will happen next. With such short stories, I'm always wanting more and more. It's just this time around I'll have to wait for the next part to be released. With season one I was able to read them all at the same time. Oh, the patience I'm going to need!

One thing I want to point out is that while the story does a good job of summarizing the main plot points of season one, it's not for people who haven't read the first set of stories. You'll be very lost and unaware of minor plot details that pop up now and again. That said, I'm always amazed by how a series written by multiple authors can be so cohesive! Anyway, you really, really need to read this amazing series! You won't regret a second of it. :)

A great mix of urban fantasy with the spying and double-crossed machinations (and all the fun that goes with it) of The Man from U.NC.LE.. I hadn't read the first series, but it doesn't take that long to get up to speed, so I wouldn't consider that an impediment for those unfamiliar with the story line. This installment has a particularly cinematic feel that I hope continues in the next episodes; a very good time.

Part of the witch who came in from the cold series. This is season 2. I think it would be an easier read if I had read previous stories. Paranormal fantasy set in the Cold War era.

I should have noticed the fact that this was a sequel before I downloaded it. Unfortunately I did not, and so reading it was very confusing. I think I would need to reread this after reading the first title, but I'm sure if I'm still interested enough to do so. I feel like the writing could have been better than I was expecting.
