Summary
Wanted by no one.
Hunted by everyone.
Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world's most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan's only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers—before it's too late. But how can Nathan find his father when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves?
Half Bad is an international sensation and the start of a brilliant trilogy: a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive.

ReplyDeleteOh goodness this sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't read what the "comment question" was it was acting up. So I just commented. :)
DeleteI'm half way done with Half Bad and it is, um, not half bad. But I don't need to the do-dads. Thanks for the offer, though.
ReplyDeleteYou would think I would have many favorite witches and wizards but I also forget who. Strange. I love Lily in Trial by Fire...I think I would have to look at my book shelf. lol
ReplyDeleteI love Kate Daniels, OK her father is a God, but her mother was a witch so she is that too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me of Kate! I was drawing a complete blank; adore this series!
DeleteHow about Elphaba from Wicked? Or Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (that was a book series at one time, and if it counts, my favorite is definitely Sabrina)?
ReplyDeleteIf I *must* step out of the Harry Potter box the first thing that popped into my head was the Wicked series: Witch & Curse (Wicked) by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguié. I really enjoyed the series as a teenager. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteDiana Bishop from Deborah Harkness' All Souls Trilogy is probably my favorite. Nora Roberts has a great series called the Cousins O'Dwyer (Dark Witch, Shadow Spell and Dark Magick) that I'm currently reading and it's well worth checking out.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Linda George; I know it's a bit of a stretch, but Kate Daniels is half witch....love the "Magic" series!
ReplyDeleteHow about Sophie Mercer from the Hex Hall series? She was one of my favorite witches that I've read in literature. The books reminds me so much of HP but with a different flavor and flair.
