Wes Rockville, a disgraced law-enforcement agent, gets one last chance to prove himself and save his career when he's reassigned to a 232-year-old secret government organization.

The Witches Protection Program.

His first assignment: uncover a billion-dollar cosmetics company's diabolical plan to use witchcraft for global domination, while protecting its heiress Morgan Pendragon from her aunt's evil deeds. Reluctantly paired with veteran witch protector, Alastair Verne, Wes must learn to believe in witches...and believe in himself.

Filled with adventure and uspense, Michael Okon creates a rousing, tongue-in-cheek alternate reality where witches cast spells and wreak havoc in modern-day New York City.

The narrator filled in more information. “It wasn’t until this land became my land that the government decided to create an organization to protect women at risk. The Davina Doctrine went against everything that the Willas stood for. Even though they ran the risk of persecution, the Davinas chose to work with law enforcement to expose the evil deeds of the rival sisterhood. President George Washington established secret legislation under Title VI of the Control Act of 1792. The law was enacted to protect the good witches that exposed the evil deeds of their sisterhood.”

The screen went dark. There was only a chair in the center of a dimly lit stage. A single spotlight focused on the top of the blond actress’s head. Wes was right; it was the actress he’d suspected. She had a hit sitcom and two Emmys, and there was some recent Oscar talk about her last movie.

“Yes. There are witches. Living among us. They are women who believe in using their power to protect love and life. And then there are some who use their powers for all the wrong reasons.”

The camera came to rest on her beautiful face. She winked saucily as she placed a triangular witch’s hat on her head. “Welcome to the Witches Protection Program.”

Alastair smiled broadly. “I love that part.”

“That was Jennifer Anis—”

My Rating: ★★★★☆

My Recommendation: High!

This was a fun, fast pace read that kept me flipping the pages!

I have to say, I have a soft spot for quirky, cheesy, fun reads like this. Kind of like my weakness for those TV Christmas movies. What can I say, I love it, and this book did that just for me. Told in third person with dual POV's, we get a lot of voice, and a lot different view points. Now I will say that this did at time seems off kilter and confusing, so that's why this wonder doesn't get that 5 star. I think another edit will help clean that up.

Other than that, I loved the concept, the characters, some that you will love to hate, and the fun way it was written. It grabbed me from the start, and I had this bad boy read in one sitting. It's truly something special, even if there isn't that much of an original plot, but the author spins it in such a way, that it makes the story enjoyable and fresh.

So please take my high recommendation that you will fall for this quirky read.

Happy Reading!
