Advance Praise
"Between Witches & Angels by T N Traynor is a powerful tale of love, magic, and faith. I had to remind myself that it's just a story. The suspense and eagerness I experienced are still very fresh in my memory. Between Witches & Angels would be fantastic for readers that love dark fantasy, magic, romance, suspense, and Christian books. T N Traynor's words are poetic, dreamy, and relaxing. It's just what I expected in a book about witches. Definitely worth a read. Readers Favorite
Author T N Traynor's powerful use of present tense in Between Witches and Angels was a smart one. Right from the get-go with a terrifying opening, readers are pulled into a minute-by-minute race against the clock as Meghan's best friend, Jack, seeks to rescue her from dark forces he can't possibly comprehend. Its well-crafted scene-painting delivers a sense of place and ambiance so richly textured that it almost feels as if we're watching a movie which swiftly segues from pleasant pastorals to gritty and horrifying backdrops of terror. This pulse-pounding read is clearly the stuff of ghoulish nightmares! Readers Favorite
Well-written, page turner filled with magic. Sometimes, a book stands out as beautifully written, fresh and original. ""Between Witches and Angels"" is one such story. Although billed as romantic suspense - which it is - fans of Stephen King and Dan Brown would also enjoy the supernatural undercurrents in this thrilling tale.
With dramatic scenes on both the Cornish and north-west moors, there is a strong sense of wild landscapes simmering with magic, where even a humble train journey ends as a battle between angels and demons. So enthralling that I read the book three times just for the pleasure of it, I am delighted to have picked up this page turner. Amazon UK Reviewer."

Between Witches & Angels is the story of Megan and Jack with witches, demons, angels, and faith added into the mix. Megan and Jack are childhood besties with Megan loving Jack since forever, and this guy drinking himself to oblivion over the betrayal of his ex-wife.
Megan has magic in her blood and an immense interest in using her powers and herbs for healing. Her desperate move to Cornwall brings her new witch friends and a suitor with a magnetic personality. What happens when she agrees to marry the new guy, and Jack realizes he loves her? What happens when she disappears before the wedding and Jack feels she's in trouble? Can he find her? Will they have a HEA? What's the connection between Megan and demons?
The narration is descriptive and fast-paced. The story had me hooked from the prologue and sustained my interest throughout. It progresses over a few months, which are mentioned in each chapter. The settings are vivid, and I love how the author makes the atmosphere a tangible part of the story.
The story is written in both present tense and past tense, separated based on the timeline to avoid confusion. The story is in a limited third person from Megan's POV until her disappearance. It then moves to Jack's side of the narrative with an omnipresent third-person view whenever needed. The POV changes were smooth and flowing. Even with lots of internal dialogue, I had no trouble following who was thinking what.
*spoilers*
One thing that surprised me was the shift from routine fantasy to Christian fantasy. I knew there would be some of it, but towards the end, the emphasis was entirely on the Lord and becoming a good Christian. It was still a gripping read, what with angels and demons actively fighting each other.
What I would have liked was giving more importance to the witches (because I like them). There are good witches (the story has enough of them), and it made me sad to see Megan give up her magic towards the end. If magic is in her blood, she should use it for the good, as she wanted to.
*end of spoilers*
Despite there being another book lined up in the series, this one has a satisfactory ending. I love how you can read it as a standalone.
The characters are well developed though Megan has better characterization than Jack. She has more depth and layers, and Jack needs to catch up. His sudden giving up of alcohol seemed a bit unrealistic. He is, almost throughout the book, a weaker character than Megan and even his granny, who plays a vital role in the climax.
The other witches (Megan's friends in Cornwall) had good character definitions, and I hope there will be more of them in the next book.
Overall, it's an engaging read that'll keep you turning the pages to see who is who and if your guesses are right. If you like a few spells, some strong faith, the theme of good vs. evil, a clean romance with a pacy thriller, you'll enjoy this one.
Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC copy.

I liked this book, I liked the notion of the green witches. I found the book to be well written. My only issue was the idea of good vs evil, and the witches who wanted to do good and help people were demonized
This was so not my usual genre of book, but it was soooo good I couldn't put it down!
Megan the novice green witch moves away from her best friend Jack whom she loves dearly to Cornwall & finds herself being welcomed into a coven of witches. Then we go on a magical adventure packed full of demons, angels, kidnap & faith, with a good dollop of romance. Thank you for introducing me to something new. Many thanks to the publishers & Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review 🧙♀️
this was a fun start to a series, the characters were great and I really enjoyed how unique the supernatural element was. I'd be interested in reading more in this series.
first of all, I love the cover of the book, and its plot, and I liked the development of it, and it's something I never thought I'd love this, and it is cool and the characters I liked it.
