If you could get a sequel for any book, what would it be?
Without a doubt it would be Witch in the House by Jenna McKnight. It's about a witch called Jade who casts a spell to bring herself happiness and one to bring happiness to a jilted groom, and accidentally merges the spells. I first read this a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it.
As soon as I was done I popped online and looked around for information on a sequel, especially as it was fairly obvious Jade's two friends were supposed to have their own stories. I did find mention of a sequel in several places, but when I tried to find a release date a few months later everything had disappeared. After multiple unanswered emails to both the author and the publishing house, I gave up.
Recently the author has made it public knowledge that she has Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and won't be writing anymore, which is a real shame as I was looking forward to reading more from her and this book is now less fun as it is clearly the first of a trilogy that is not going to be finished.

I don't think i've read that one. Strange what the author has said. It was illness that turned me to writing.

ReplyDeleteWeird that a seasonal issue has stoped ALL writings :( SADD is a real problem but to stop at the first of 3 ... I couldn't do it...

I have not heard of this novel. Its sad to know the author can not finish not like she made a decision not to finish, She can not due to her diagnose.

Hmm, I've never heard of this one but I am intrigued... I totally empathize with your frustration over the lack of a planned sequel! I was perfectly happy with a book I read last month being a standalone until I read that the author had considered it as part of a trilogy. :( Sometimes publishers suck.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments guys :) Hopefully at some point the author will be able to finish the trilogy, but if not this is a fun read.
ReplyDeleteInteresting book :)
