I've recently become enamored with books about witches. This is the reason why was grateful for the opportunity to read and review The Janus Witch. Tressalayne is one of three witches who eventually gets separated from the "main" witch, Morgana while traveling through a magical portal. Unbeknownst to them, a witch hunter has followed the witches through said portal. Tressalayne ends up in a hospital with memory loss where she's being treated by Dr. Lucas Beckett. Soon the line between caring for a patient, and caring about Tressalayne herself is crossed - with many problems ensuing from Tressalayne's flashbacks of her past with Morgana.

Clifton does a wonderful job in creating his characters. Each had their distinctive "feel" and it causes the reader to truly submerge into this magical world lined with our very human one. I can say that I've never read a book like this before; I felt pulled in all different directions with this story, but it never felt like I was losing sight of the story itself. Tressalayne was my favorite character because of how endearing she came to be throughout the story. It truly read like her redemption song - and I was all for it. I recommend!
