A witch and a hunter. Vengeance is their mission. Love is their destiny.

Fritzi is a witch. A survivor of a brutal attack on her coven, she's determined to find her only surviving family member and bring the hexenjägers—zealot witch hunters—to justice for the lives they ended. To do this, she will need to take down their leader—Kommandant Dieter Kirch.

Otto is a hexenjäger and a captain, the second in command to Dieter Kirch—but that's just his cover. Years ago, the hexenjagers burned his innocent mother alive and since then, he has been planning a move against the witch hunters that tore his family apart. And now the time has come for them to pay for what they've done.

When Fritzi and Otto are unexpectedly thrown together, neither is sure they can trust the other, despite their common enemy. But all they have is one another, and they both crave revenge. As truths come to light and trust shifts, Fritzi and Otto uncover a far more horrifying plot at the center of the hexenjäger attacks . . . but their own growing feelings for each other may be the most powerful magic of all.

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Night of the Witch seemed right up my alley. The book’s synopsis promises witches and an enemies to lovers romance. SOLD. It practically had my name written on it. Sadly, I have to report that I did not finish this book. No one is more heartbroken than me about this news. I was so excited for this book! But the actual story didn’t align with what was advertised, in my opinion. There’s no other way to say it: I was bored. When I put this book down, I had no desire to pick it back up. If you are interested in this book, you should give it a chance. Night of the Witch didn’t work for me, but it may work for you.
