A Higher Power, and a secret buried deep.

Seren's life changes forever on her eighteenth birthday, when her younger sister falls out of the apple tree in their garden.

Now she must protect her family and herself from the encroaching darkness and from those who have betrayed them all.
As she navigates the world of mystery, lies and intrigue, Seren must grow into her Power and accept that not everything is as it seems to be.

PRAISE FOR THE WITCH LAWS

The Witch Laws by Sally Altass was an amazing, thrilling fantasy read. It has a cast of characters whom readers will immediately love, against a backdrop of danger that is truly creepy and chilling. I could fangirl over this book for days (if not longer), but I really, really want you to stop reading my review and go preorder this book straight away. Sally has burst onto the indie author scene with a powerful, epic YA fantasy and I cannot praise her highly enough for this debut novel.

The Witch Laws is an exhilarating start to Seren’s journey into understanding herself. Altass combines fantasy, intrigue, great world building, and an exciting cast of supporting characters to weave a story that immerses the reader in the adventure. When I finished, all I could think of was: I want more!!! Can’t wait for book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical read!
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2022
In Sally’s novel, The Witch Laws, we are led to wonder—are the Witches the evil to watch out for, or is there something even deeper and darker lurking in the shadows?

While reading The Witch Laws, I couldn’t help but think that any author happening across her novel would end up jealous of Sally’s prose, and that in itself says volumes about her writing. It reminds me of Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy. As does the love one gathers for Seren and her family, just as readers gained love for Lyra in Pullman’s epic novels.

Sally has created a character in Seren who is the older sister we all wished we had while growing up—caring, diligent, loving beyond means, and mature beyond her years. She has to be, as the leader of an orphaned family of three younger brothers and an adorable little sister named Luna, who in herself could be the main character of a novel, and who knows, perhaps one day will.

We see that Seren has enough on her hands, but on her eighteenth birthday she discovers she has the powers of a Higher—once a group of magical beings, now thought to have long disappeared. As she tries to keep her family safe and her power hidden, some learn of it and soon there are those seeking to take it from her; something that can only happen through death.

The Witch Laws is full of colorful writing, tremendous characters with strong character arcs, vivid world building, and an intertwined, developing plot line. This is a story of Highers, Witches and Darkness. Altass puts down a rich history where there are those who will kill to get the power of a Higher. And Seren stands directly in the sights of all who want the greatest Power to come along in eons—hers.

This is a definite read, but comes with a warning. When that last page is read, you will be left aching for more.

I really had a hard time liking this story. I didn’t enjoy the way the author wrote it. This is only my opinion but the way she wrote it was hard for me to love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting escapism to a magical world

The Witch Laws transports the reader to a world of intrigue and magic. Sally Altass’s engaging style and carefully crafted turn of phrase, coupled with immersive descriptions, render us completely invested in the fortunes of our amicable heroine Seren. It’s wonderful story-telling, that’s easy to read and a pleasure to devour.

I bought the book to read as a family with my children but I found myself looking forward to the next chapter just as much as they did! I’d say it’s perfect for adults, young adults and older children who have an interest in the magical.

So excited to discover this author and we can’t wait for her next book. It’s a good job that there is apparently a sequel on the way, as there is no way that I’m ready to let go of these characters and their wonderful world yet!

Well written and easy to read. The descriptions allowed me to easily visualise the characters and understand their individual personalities along with their surroundings. The plot gathered pace as I continued to read and left me continuously wanting more! I hate when I can predict the storyline from the beginning and was happy to find that wasn't the case here! I cannot wait for the next book.
