[bugetta-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good intro to the characters and mythology of this new series. Makes me excited to read the first book!

[literaladdiction · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle L. Olson:Even though this is only a novella, in true Maggie Shayne fashion she hooks the reader from the first page and doesn't let go!Action, adventure, romance, and the most beautiful segue into the 1st full length novel of THE PORTAL series, Mark of the Witch!I thoroughly enjoyed Legacy of the Witch and am confident that everyone else will as well. LITERAL ADDICTION gives Legacy of the Witch a well deserved 5 Skulls and would highly recommend those who are excited for THE PORTAL series to accept the gift that Maggie is giving to you all and read it. :) It's simply beautiful...
