Flame and Ash (Witchbane Book 4) by Morgan Brice


Found family joins the fray. Evan and Seth meet up with their mentors to fight another witch disciple and share their hopes for the future if they can survive together.


From the blurb:

The hunters become the hunted. When their lives are on the line, will love be enough?


Seth Tanner and Evan Malone are hot on the track of a coven of dark witches responsible for a century of ritual murders. Seth saved Evan’s life, and Evan joined him on the road, getting a crash course on magic and the supernatural, learning how to fight and hunt. Seth worries that Evan’s going to get hurt, or that he’ll realize this crazy, dangerous life isn’t for him—and break Seth’s heart.

Evan Malone has fallen head over heels for Seth, despite the danger and chaos. Their relationship is new, their emotions are raw, and every hunt could be their last. Evan wants to prove that he’s committed to their relationship, despite the rushed and rocky beginning. He’s pushing himself to learn new skills so he can have Seth’s back—and his biggest fear is that Seth might get hurt because Evan isn’t good enough.

Their next hunt takes them to the Blue Ridge Mountains, but this time, the dark witch knows they’re coming—and has plans of his own. Then Seth vanishes, and everything Evan has learned and his belief in their bond as lovers is put to the test.

He’s got to prove he’s up to the challenge and Seth’s faith in him, before the whole situation goes up in flames and leaves nothing but ash.

Flame and Ash is a fast-paced supernatural thrill ride packed with hurt/comfort, deadly magic, immortal witches, determined hunters, creepy ghosts, haunted tunnels, a developing established relationship, impressive explosions, spooky chills and sexy thrills.


SNik's review:

Fourth in series (Witchbane), must be read in order. Paranormal. Established couple. Found family. Dual POV. 

Traveling to North Carolina to track down the next witch disciple, Evan and Seth team up with older hunter couple Milo and Toby. This story covers familiar ground with Evan and Seth trying to save another descendant from sacrifice. 

There are a few more hurdles this time as the current witch disciple has some local law enforcement on his side and throws some new dangers at the hunter group. It was fun to hear some of Milo and Toby’s backstory as they are Evan and Seth’s found family. Evan and Seth seem more solid in this book, growing to believe that maybe there is a long term future if they can survive together and maybe a time they can look forward to as they grow old together. Another entertaining romp, with friends, action, and steam.


Flame and Ash is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback
