Dark secrets. Dangerous power. And a fate bound to a forest entwined with magic. Eighteen-year-old Sara is not normal, and she’s losing her grip on hiding her inexplicable power. Hunted by a dark witch and facing devastating losses, Sara finds refuge in Ware Woods—a spellbinding forest protected by witches, shapeshifters . . . and thorny secrets. Here she discovers true magic and an electric connection with Thomas, a wickedly charming and equally headstrong witch from a dangerous family. But Sara is an outsider who has brought darkness and a fatal prophecy to the forest. To prove she belongs in Ware Woods, Sara is tested and pushed to master new magics, all while concealing the monstrous force that makes her undeniably different. As the dark witch closes in on her and an insidious blight threatens Ware Woods, Sara must release her full power—and either save the forest and everyone she loves or destroy everything. Witch of Ware Woods is a contemporary fantasy escape filled with fast-paced wonder, fierce characters, deadly magic, forbidden romance, and a world so fresh you can smell the pine trees.

I was so impressed with this book! The characters were fantastic and I was excited to see their depth & the small (and potentially to grow) redemption arcs. This paranormal fantasy provided a fresh take on the genre in that the story was driven by love, but not romance. There was romance, which was great too, but it didn't overpower the story.
The female MC was equal parts unsure of herself & full of inner strength to do what was right and needed to protect those she loved even if it scared the crap out of her. I loved reading about the different types of witches in the Ware Woods and I can't wait to read more from Blanco!
