A Witch's Quest by Leigh Ann Edwards is book 6 in "The Irish Witch Series" and I have fallen in love with this series.
I had a tough start with this series, but after I found out that it continued after the first 3 books , I have enjoyed reading more from Leigh Ann Edwards. and especially reading the love story between Alainn and Killian.
I can´t wait to read the last book in this series, A Witch's Destiny.

This series has totally lost the plot.
What started out as a really good Fantasy series has now got bogged down in history.
A real disappointment

There was a lot of forcing myself into this book. the whole first part just.......I neither liked it nor loved it. One minute it was trying to copy Phillipa Gregory with historical drama, the next it was 0.99c pararomance tripe. Too disjointed. It never grabbed my attention and I never felt compelled to read on. I prefer a book that I regret having to put down while this one was a "take it or leave it" in many ways and this wasn't it. I think this book was simply trying to be too many things at once - stick to one genre.

Edwards has stepped up her game with this one and I think this might be my favourite of the series so far. While previous books were connected, they could be read as independent episodes. In this book, the past reconnects with the future in a very satisfying way. Alainn is an endearing character – I rooted for her as she sought ways to free Killian in this book. And if the supporting cast of characters is slightly less developed, they still make a very pleasing addition to the story. Thoroughly enjoyable lightly historical fantasy romance.

This is the sixth book in the Irish Witch Series. It tells of when Killian was imprisoned in the tower of London and his wife was held by King Henry. The couple share deep love and unbridled passion. With her gifts of witchcraft, she is able to see that Killian and the other Irish that are held captive are released. The abuse Alainn was forced to endure in order to save a young friend and her fellow Irishmen, to include Killian, remains a part of her throughout her travels in her homeland of Ireland. The struggles against demons and evil are prevalent and the reader roots for this heroine, who is so selfless.

A Witch's Quest by Leigh Ann Edwards starts exactly where the last book in the series concluded. Alainn has been injured and there are dangers galore in King Henry VIII’s England. While the author does an excellent job of giving background on the cause of the injury and what is happening in England to this Irish couple, it still is a series best read in order. In earlier books, events happen that seemed to be isolated, but here the past comes into play with many of those creatures having a part in this story. Seeing how one former action of Alainn’s is tied together with another is amazing.

The battle between good and evil continues to grow more desperate, with the outcome unclear at times, building the suspenseful tension in the saga of Alainn and Killian. Just when it looks that they have found safe passage back to Ireland, more disturbing events and dangers follow them. Religion, country, politics or customs give no solid indication for who is on the side of light.

The theme of light verses darkness is major in this addition to the series, along with that is the uncertainty of what exactly Alainn is facing. The demon is growing in strength and influence but the ancient Celtic gods seem intent on testing the young woman. Sacrifices are made, losses are adding up and the darkness is only held at bay. Their story is not finished yet.

This novel continues where the previous book left off. You need to read the series in order to understand the plot. Alainn and Killian O’Brien are still in England. Killian has been imprisoned by the king for not complying with his desires. Alainn had planned to return to Ireland, but sees a child in danger and pushes her out of the way, at the expense of her own child growing in her womb. She wakes to find out she has saved the king's daughter. However, there is much evil in the court and a tug of war between good and evil takes place. Alainn will do whatever is necessary to free Killian from prison, for she loves him so much. When they return to Ireland, there are still many battles they need to face otherwise the darkness will win over the light. Alainn needs her magical abilities more than ever to save the world from impending darkness.
