Witch Hunter: Into the Outside
by J.Z. Foster
Witch Hunter: Into The Outside by J.Z Foster is the first book up for the Night Worms. The book is about a witch hunter who does not even believe in witches. He takes a cameraman and a reporter out on a witch hunt and he is shocked when his "tricks" actually work and they locate a witch. He soon learns that all his training was real and he must use it to save them all.
I absolutely loved this book and a HUGE thank you for J.Z. Foster for taking a chance on Night Worms with our crazy idea and sending me a free (and signed!) copy in exchange for this review. First of all, I loved the view on witches this book took. It was a totally different story than anything I have read before when it comes to witches. So for that refreshing dose of originality, I am already impressed.
The format of the story is like part mystery and part thriller noir. It goes back and forth between two times and Foster makes it work! Every time I started a new chapter I looked forward to going back to the "other time" and seeing how it would set up what that chapter would ultimately be about. And unlike some books that use this method, Foster never confuses us or makes us wonder what's going on or in which "time" in the story we are reading. ANOTHER 10 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!
The characters were all complimentary to one another. No one character was the same and they all fed off each other and helped each other stand out in different ways. Ultimately, this is a story of a man BECOMING. Richard, the Witch Hunter, never believed in what he was doing. He always thought it was fake. But he had to become the Witch Hunter in order to survive. And it was so cool to see his journey and see his rag tag team on the rise.
My FAVORITE character was The Wight. He was the perfect combination of Death from Bill and Ted's Bogus Adventure and E.T. (except we have corn chips instead of Reese's Pieces). At least that is how I constantly envisioned him. Hands down my favorite character! And he TOTALLY gets me when he says things like: "My hunger is eternal! My desire unquenchable!" Same, fam. SAME."
He is also the epitome of high maintenance and diva. When asked his name, he responds, "To properly say my name, you must separate your tongue into three sections of equal length and master the language of Abyssal, with its various overlaying and under-lapping mouthing postures." I aspire to that level of Diva Queen.
Witch Hunter is not a horror book that will likely terrify you, it is more of a horror book the same way the TV show Supernatural show is deemed horror. There are horror elements and scary moments as well as action and humor. I mean this in the best way possible, as I love Supernatural!
This book is easily a 5-star read for me. I cant wait to read more of J.Z. Foster and I encourage you ALL to check out this book! You know what they say... IT'S A LOVELY NIGHT FOR A WITCHING!
