A crackingly atmospheric read blending mystery, horror and Arthurian myth into a spellbinding tale. -- Gina Blaxill, author of You Can Trust Me
Waking the Witch honestly feels like Rachel Burge reached into my head and found the things I wanted to read. Maybe I'm used to Arthurian retellings that more often explore the Knights and King Arthur, so I was pleasantly surprised that this explored the women's side of the story. -- Bryony, The Indecisive Readers * Instagram *
Wow. Just wow. Absolutely fantastic read from start to finish. On my top Author list - can literally not fault the writing or the story one bit. -- Katie, Readersroost
Unusually strange, very descriptive, and entertaining. -- Shelley Bleese * NetGalley *
This was full of magic, mystery and folklore...I could not put it down and have gone straight to pre-order a physical copy so I can re-read it again and again. The characters and their development were outstanding, and I can't wait to read more by Rachel - one question - will there be a sequel???? -- Ella Jones * NetGalley *
Wow, wow, wow! Gripping from the first chapter, this book was absolutely page turning and my new favourite! It had everything I love, witches, magick, Avalon, Merlin and so much more. What a twist on Merlin. I loved it. A great read that shows the true power of what love can do! -- Melissa Stanton * NetGalley *
I sped through this book wanting to know what happened next - always a sign of a good book! I thoroughly recommend this book for its re-imagining of the Arthurian legend in a modern setting. -- Jenny Gill * NetGalley *
I enjoy a good YA book with a strong main character and this certainly ticked those boxes...The mythology and legend within this book are brilliant. -- Georgina Candy * NetGalley *
