5.0 out of 5 starsI Am Simply Blown Away...
By Meanwhile, Melinda on August 5, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
S.A. Hunt seemed to come out of nowhere, and then he blasted onto the scene with the first book in his Outlaw Series, and it was like a new master of in-depth, kick butt, deeply imaginative, epic fantasy had just appeared onto the scene. After the first book he kept up the excellence, and even surpassed his own superior quality. It is hard to believe, I know, but all of this is true. I swear, it is...

Now, with his new series, "Malus Domestica" which I am sure everyone has mentioned means the domestic apple tree, he takes on a subgenre and completely makes it his own. I'm talking about paranormal hunting. Heaven knows, there are enough books with young women on the covers dressed on in leather while clutching swords with words to the effect of "Demons beware because (insert name here) is really pissed off, just found about her powers, and is going to kill you dead."

This is not one of those books. It is So Much Better. Hunt has real talent as a writer and his powers of characterization are fully on display as he creates characters from five years old to fifteen hundred. The main character, as an example, is not your runway, beauty queen killer with a sword. Robin has a shaved head, except for her mohawk. She has a stud in her tongue. After her mother was killed by the local coven, so she was sent to a psychiatric institute, where they kept her medicated to the gills until she was eighteen. At that point they let her go, along with a few choice prescriptions for her visual and auditory hallucinations.

Waiting for her was Heinrich, an African American witch hunter who wanted to train her to hunt the witches that killed her mother. Unfortunately, they were too powerful, so she would have to work up to it.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat read!
By Amazon Customer on September 2, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Every now and then, a book comes along that is so good you keep wanting to flip to the ending to make sure everything comes out the way you hope. This is one of those books.

Horror isn't a genre I normally read, but this book showed a lot of promise, so I picked it up. Within the first few pages, I knew I was in the hands of a master story teller. The book is tightly written, and some of the small details are just perfect. Not too much, not too little, just right. To be fair, so far I haven't felt like I needed to lock all the doors when I read this (there's an eensyteensy bit of gore), but I am verging on wanting to bite my nails and tell the characters what to do. "Don't answer the phone, it's a trap!" And I have had the skin on my neck prickle. It's rare a book that can make that happen for me.

Full disclosure: I haven't finished yet, but the book is so good I felt like I needed to come give a review at this point. Maybe the book will change and I'll end up hating it, but right now I'm finding this to be a decently paced and interesting read, and one I just don't want to put down. We'll see if I can keep resisting the temptation to read the ending before it gets here.

Reading is often an adventure, and it's always a pleasure when you know you're in good hands with the local tour guide. I give this one two thumbs up, chewed nails and all.

5.0 out of 5 starsYou know those novels that become your best friends? Malus Domestica is one of them.
By Gregory Lynn on February 3, 2016
Format: Paperback
If you read a lot of books, you know that some are just different. Some are just a plot, they’re entertaining enough on an airplane, but the characters don’t change much, or really feel like real people. It’s like you’re watching a summer blockbuster movie. It’s fun and all, but you won’t be buying the DVD.

And some are different. They might be a bit harder to read. They might be longer. They might take a little while to get into. They might challenge the way you think. They might do all of these things or even none of them, but what they’re virtually guaranteed to do is transport you to another time and place, putting you in touch with people you couldn’t possibly meet but couldn’t possibly do without. These are the books you know you’re not going to read just once.

Malus Domestica is one of these.

It has a plot that, while it has traditional elements (good v evil and coming home to face your demons for starters) it’s not just another horror novel.

I would go so far as to suggest that it’s not really a horror novel at all, though it certainly has elements that might scare people or even just creep them right the hell out. I would suggest that it’s more of a cross between epic fantasy and urban fantasy. Epic urban fantasy, if you will.
Your protagonist is a young woman in contemporary America who deals with some seriously supernatural s*** while fighting her own inner demons. She throws some snark and kicks some ass while being legitimately vulnerable and not remotely mary-sue-ish. At the same time, though, it’s pretty clear that her tussle with her own personal villains is only a very small front in a very large war. When it ends, you know there is more to come on a million different fronts, both personal and not.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThis novel is the most unique book I have read in years.
By Emily on March 5, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Originally seen on Emily Reads Everything

This novel is the most unique book I have read in years.

Books are filled with familiar stories. There are some stories that come around so often, we have a name for them; tropes. When we read, we look for these tropes. We expect them. We have our favorites and the ones that we dislike. Bloggers write up long diatribes about their favorites or their most hated tropes. Tropes aren't necessarily bad or good, they just are. Malus Domestica completely blows every known trope out of the water. Trust me, you have never read a book like this before.

This book defies genre. I really want to say that it's Urban Fantasy. It's a girl fighting witches. That seems like a slam dunk. However, there is so much more to it. This book is DARK. If you love Leigh Bardugo or V.E. Schwab, then you have a slight idea of what you are in for with this book. I absolutely love a book with high stakes, where I'm not sure the main character will survive. This book could also be termed as horror. It's scary. Witches are scary. Reading this book there were several moments I had to put the book down and remind myself that I was safe in my bed, that everything was fine and I was safe. That way I could plunge back into reading and worry about Robin, Joel or Kenway.

It's hard for me to decide who is my favorite character. Robin is so kickass. She's a mohawk sporting, panel van driving, witch hunting, youtube star. Her draw is in her personality and her abilities rather than her physical beauty. She's prickly and distrustful and I wish I could be her best friend. Kenway is an artist. He's sweet and loving and the heart of the story. He's all the emotion that Robin never shows. He's also fiercely protective with the training to back it up.Read more ›
