The Monkey's Reading Grove: A Nameless Witch

[indiana_j]

I have no idea if anyone would read this, or how long my attention span will keep up with this ;), but I decided that with as many books as I read lately, I'll try something new.  I'm going to try some reviews but the first post will be just the book summary and the follow up post will be the actual review.

A Nameless Witch: A tale of vengeance, true love, and cannibalism by A. Lee Martinez

Being born undead can have its disadvantages, such as eternal youth and flawless beauty -- things most unsuitable for a witch.  Hiding behind the guise of a grimy old crone, the witch is content living outside Fort Stalwart with her unlikely band of allies:  a troll, an enchanted broom, and a demonic duck.  She leads a simple life filled with spells, potions, and the occasional curse.

So when a White Knight arrives at Fort Stalwart, the witch knows her days of peace are at an end, and soon the witch and the Knight must reluctantly combine forces on a perilous quest to stop a mad sorcerer from destroying the world.

Other books by Martinez:  Gil's All Fright Diner, In the Company of Ogres, The Automatic Detective and Too Many Curses

*grins* Exactly what I was going for. I just started it, so the review will go up in a few days.
