Visions of Magic An Awakening Novel Regan Hastings Books

I fell in love with this world in the first book, Visions of Magic, and was so excited to dive back in with Visions of Skyfire. The first book was amazing! The characters were fantastic and the rich storyline sucked me right in, but Regan has somehow managed to make this book even better than the first. I was worried because the second book in a series do not always live up to the first, but Visions of Skyfire exceeded all my expectations. With each new witch awakening and discovering her destiny, we get a new piece of the puzzle and discover what has happened to all of them over the past eight hundred years. That is an exceptionally long time for your soul to regenerate and learn from previous mistakes. As these witches slowly remember the sins of their past, they fight harder for a future filled with hope and love.

I think the main reason I enjoyed this book more was because of its main character, Teresa. She always knew she was going to come into her powers and be a part of the Awakening. This made the transition into this lifestyle much smoother than it was in the previous book. She is so headstrong and stubborn; her feisty attitude kept her Eternal, Rune on his toes constantly. I always prefer seeing strong women take the lead in books and I admired her for her courage. I appreciated Regan letting Teresa be that for this book. Teresa does struggle as the story moves forward, but she remains determined and never gives up. Her strong will endeared me to her and won Rune over as well.

Poor Rune, his story is tragic. When the witches originally got into this mess eight hundred years ago, they never fully let their Eternals in. Rune's world came crashing down the night Teresa betrayed him for the power her coven sought, and he has never fully trusted her since then. It hasn't helped that in ever reincarnation since then she has betrayed him. He finds it hard to trust someone who always lets him down. He has changed over the years and does not know how he is going to let Teresa into his heart again. Therefore, these two have many obstacles to overcome in this novel; most of them being internal struggles. Teresa has been burned by love before and does not want to open her heart again and Rune fears she will betray him when he needs her the most.

The overall quest is also coming into focus as each witch finds her calling and her Eternal. We learned in the first book that another awakened witch, Kellyn, has turned to dark magic and is trying to bring the others down with her. She claims to have sent her Eternal to a place where no one can find him and is now searching for the awakened witches to bring them to the dark side with her. She does appear in this book sporadically, but another enemy has surfaced. He seems to possess all the powers of an Eternal, which just adds to the suspense in discovering his true identity. I loved this added mystery element that Regan gave us and was eager to discover who this man was, and what his presence means now for the remaining witches waiting to be awakened.

While Teresa and Rune remain the main focus of the novel we also get an interesting subplot laced throughout with Cora Sterling and her daughter Deidre. Deidre is fighting for the rights of witches and finds the fact that they are hunted down to extinction revolting. She is on the front lines of advocating for witches rights and comes up against opposition at every turn. The brief glimpses we do get into her world were very interesting I look forward to her and Torin's story in the next book.

Overall, Regan has given us another amazing story of powerful witches and the resilient men destined to love and protect them. Visions of Skyfire is a stunning second addition to an awesome series. After reading quite a few mediocre books lately, I was grateful to find a book that can "wow" me again. I cannot wait for the next book, Visions of Chains due out next year.

Visions of Magic An Awakening Novel Regan Hastings Books Reviews

I'm not a literature snob. When I rate I rate if I liked it not if there were differences in the way I would have written it; meaning underdeveloped characters etc... I completely enjoyed this book and am glad to have it in my collection!!
absolutely loved it , a major page turner i was up all night because i couldn't put it down until i had finished reading it . i can't wait for the next book.
SO far this series seems well written, clear plot lines and a general all around easy read. Action, heroes, heroines and magic who could as for more. Lets' not forget the villain who could be redeemed... maybe??? Looking forward to more in this series.
I admit I'm not much of a paranormal romance reader. I can take or leave most vampire stories, but I find myself really enjoying the current wave of paranormal series that feature witches. For that reason, I picked up the first book in the new Regan Hastings Awakening series, VISIONS OF MAGIC, and I was hooked from page one. Now book two, VISIONS OF SKYFIRE, is out, and it's fantastic! The heroine in this book is totally different from--and as equally compelling as--book one's heroine, Shea. In SKYFIRE, Teresa Santiago has always known she was a chosen witch. She has been planning and working toward her magical awakening her entire life. She's smart, strong, confident, sexy, and ready to tangle with her hunky Eternal, Rune, when he appears in a ball of fire to protect her from the creepy, government sanctioned Magic Police who hunt down and kill innocent witches. I loved Teresa and Rune's hot and feisty interactions and their complicated but realistic past. The two lovers are forced to endure and overcome the most horrific obstacles in their quest for the artifact that will help save the world. They truly deserved their happy ending! I love the dark, somber world that Hastings has created and I especially love her characters who manage to find love and happiness despite the most horrendous odds. I highly recommend VISIONS OF SKYFIRE!!
I really enjoyed this book, in fact I enjoyed the whole series. It has all the elements of a strong storyline - witches awakening, world destruction if they don't get their act together, rogue witch trying to stop them and the phobia surrounding the witches from those who chose not to understand or learn.
