This review is from: Tales of Aradia The Last Witch Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)

The Tale of Aradia was in my opinion a totally great read for all ages. I'm a huge fan of strong female characters and Aradia was strong in so many ways.

Aradia's story actually begins with a sad start. As a baby she loses her whole family but one last attempt to save her life brought her to her life as it is now. A human family found her in a cave and adopted her as their daughter. Aradia and her parents always knew she was different but it wasn't until they moved to Salem that she started to fit in.

Never having friends, for fear she might hurt them, Aradia was pretty much a loner, but on her first days of school she met Rhonda and felt truly at home with her and her new friends. As any new teen she was also attracted to pretty much every hot guy she saw which was weird in itself because the school had a really high amount of them around.

I loved how L.A. jones intertwined the world of the hidden with humans. There were Fae, werewolves, vampires, and shifters all together in her school but Aradia didn't know all of this yet. She had no knowledge of this Hidden World or what she was.

I especially liked Roy. He was sweet and totally the boy next door type. He has a little bit of a crush on Aradia so of course when Aradia started to make googlie eyes on Dax he was jealous as heck. Didn't help matters that Dax is a vampire.
Now Dax is completely opposite of Roy. he's the bad boy Aradia can't seem to get out of her head. Dax notices Aradia too but he's got a hidden agenda that might put a bit of a wrinkle in their relationship.

All in all I could not put this book down between the hot guys, watching Aradia learn about the Hidden's, and trying to solve a huge murder case I was on he edge of my seat. I recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery, paranormal reads, and a bit of jealousy. This book has all that and more.

Come and find out what Happens in the Tales of Aradia. Getting the next book right now. :)

This is such a wonderful book for anyone curious about spiritual beings like vampires, fairies, witches, or werewolves. Won't go into any more detail, but a must read. Clever imagination and wit, Aradia is just like the author.

  Tales of Aradia: The Last Witch Volume 1 was fantastic. I have always loved the Salam witch trials and this books give a whole new perspective on it. I love how it brings all the different races together instead of only one or two. If you love Twilight or any vampire/werewolf story with some romance, this is the book for you. As of right now, it seems like a love triangle, but then I think *wonder if Tristan likes her too?* I guess I will find out in the next books.

I read all volume's of this book and can't wait till the last one is downloaded. The story itself kept me intrigued and wanting to read more and more. I would recommend this book to anyone who of course like's reading these kind of books, I read books about Witches, Vampire's and other's like these, I read them for the romance, the thrill, the antisapaction and most of all these books do have plots to them.

This review is from: Tales of Aradia The Last Witch Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)

Aradia, a teenager, finds herself the new kid on the block at school when she and her parents relocate to Salem, a town and its school full of an eclectic mix of vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural beings, that makes for an enjoyable, fast-paced read. Tales of Aradia the Last Witch Volume One, is wonderful and intense. I like that. Here we have an eclectic mix of Vampires, Werewolves and good old fashioned human beings, that serve up an enjoyable, fast-paced read. Aradia knows that she's different and has supernatural power to heal. After all, there were plenty of incidents to convince of such during her earlier school years to attest to that fact. Soon, students and townspeople realize she's not like them, even though she desperately wants to fit in and be liked. The other students avoided her because they thought she was creepy and weird. However, they weren't all that normal either. Aradia does make a couple of friends, but then discovers the lies and secrets of her new town that would rock her world. I especially enjoyed the friendships that she nurtured, and the suspense surrounding the killer who stalks her. I found the characters to be well developed, allowing the reader to see things from a seemingly first hand experience. Lastly, I enjoyed the humor of Aradia, as I found myself chuckling from time to time. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in the series from the very talented L.A. Jones

This story was exceptionally written, it not only has morals that can be used in real life but it also gives the reader a chance to think outside of the box. .

The female needed to be more observant of her surroundings and who is in them. But the confused love triangle is over done a complete twist in her love life would be nice.

 IABookReviews.com gave this a 9.0/10.0!, March 14, 2013

Arshem - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tales of Aradia The Last 

Witch Volume 1 (Kindle Edition)

L.A. Jones quickly establishes the conflict in this supernatural adventure in the prologue, and keeps the pages turning through the epilogue. Aradia, a descendent of a magical race known as witches that were believed to have been completely annihilated in the days of the Salem Witch Trials, becomes aware of her true ancestry in this first volume. Her and her adopted parents move to Salem looking for a fresh start following a series of unfortunate circumstances. Aradia begins to attend high school, only to discover that she is not the only supernatural character in her new community.

While building relationships with local werewolves, vampires, fairies and other mystical species, Aradia finds herself pulled into the center of a serial murder investigation that has the local community bound in fear and uncertainty.

L.A. Jones describes and establishes her characters from the perspective of her hormonal female lead. The adults are described in terms of how their actions are interpreted to reflect their true character, and the students are all described initially in terms of how physically attractive they are, only to later develop into strong, well-defined and diverse people. These prejudices successfully exemplify the limitations the teenage perspective adds to the main character's conflict, and helps establish her as a coming-of-age heroine.

This first volume has a fully contained plot, and can be enjoyed in its entirety without being dependent on any sequels. However, the author does such a great job at establishing her primary characters that this book leaves the reader begging for more.

My Rating: 9.0/10.0

Review Notes:

This book can feel like a hybrid of Smallville and Twilight at times, with some scenes and actions throughout the story feeling like they are direct copies of these highly successful teen dramas. Apart from those similarities to previous works, however, this story stands on its own merits as a creative and well-written adventure. The characters and plot are believable and engrossing, delivered to the reader with consistent modern prose. References to pop culture throughout the story are tactful and tie the world we know outside this story with the world to which we are introduced through this story.

I would like to congratulate both L.A. Jones and Harrison Bradlow in their editing of this work of fiction. Errors, whether in plot or language, were so rare that I cannot recall a single example. With nothing out of place to detract the reader, the reader is free to be fully engulfed in the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful diversion from the ordinary, December 17, 2012

By 

C. F. Waller - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tales of Aradia the Last Witch (Volume 1) (Paperback)

I got his book from the author to read and review. I very much enjoyed it as did my wife, who will leave her own review. A young adult story that Twilight types as well as more mature readers will enjoy. Strong, likable characters with good depth inhabit the story. Several tightly written plot twists will keep the pages turning for a week if read in small doses or a weekend if you get hooked as I did. I have spoken with L.A Jones on Facebook several times and find her delightful as I did her first offering in this series. I am looking forward to book two.

Isn't this cool?

 In regards to 

Book One in the Tales of Aradia The Last Witch Series

The status of Book One's reviews

As many of you know (from my unending prattle and marketing attempts) my book series is available on many different sites.

The entire book series is available on Barnes and Nobles, Amazon, Smashwords, iBookstore and much more. However, books two through five are unedited hence why I price them so low (99 cents to be exact) I wish I could give them away for free but I like every adult in America I must earn some money. However, unlike some authors I am more than willing to change my books. More like improve them so to speak. Hence why I am so grateful for my editor Harrison R. Bradlow.   

However, whether it be bragging or no, I would like to update everyone on Book one's progress. Ever since Harrison worked his magic on it my sales have risen more than I could have ever dreamed of. 

Before his influence my reviews floundered but now thanks to his influence and help my book has changed from a sapling to a tree

Harrison R. Bradlow helped polish my diamond in the rough novel to something even my father enjoyed. This in itself says to me that his help was a godsend. His involvement in the first book was the beginning of a wonderful and productive partnership that has benefited me enormously. Right now, he is working on editing my second book. His influence and insight will help polish my series into some of the rarest gems in the book world. 

So without further ado here are how many reviews book one has accumulated since Harrison used his Midas touch: 

Amazon: 57 reviews

Barnes and Nobles:  222 reviews 

Smashwords: 14 reviews

Kobo: 177 reviews 

Goodreads: 176 reviews 

iBooks: 171 reviews 

A new five star review for book one!
