Omg! I’ve volunteered to review this book. I love to read books from Milly Taiden. Milly is one of my ultimate favorite authors to read. This is the first book in a new series called Casters & Claws. This is Raven and Zane’s story. Zane is the town sheriff and also he’s a shifter too. Raven is a witch. And now her life is in danger. Raven is such a strong woman and not wanting to back down from this threat. Can Zane keep Raven safe? I can’t wait to read about her sister and cousin’s story. Keep up the amazing work! I couldn’t stop reading. I’ve read this at one time.
Zane is the sheriff of Salem, as well as the beta and enforcer of the local pack. When he learns of a threat to the descendants of the original Salem witches, he and his alpha take steps to protect them. What he didn’t expect was to find his mate. Unfortunately, Raven isn’t too happy with being protected – or being told she is Zane’s fated mate. When they are attacked by witch hunters, Zane takes Raven to his cabin and they learn about one another while formulating a plan. The romance between Zane and Raven was sweet and Zane made an irresistible beau. I received an advance copy of this book and voluntarily left a review.
A group of witch hunters are after a family of witches living in the town of Salem. Zane, sheriff and wolf shifter, is determined to protect Raven. Too bad she’s doing everything in her power to reject his help.
I like Zane very much…but Raven is a little annoying at times. I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series.

As always, Milly Taiden delivers a fun filled read. There were some grammatical errors, some intended in order to show the ignorance of The Order Of Salem are, some were not on purpose which was disappointing. All in all a fun read.

This book held my attention from the first page. It starts off with a bang and never stops. When you add in shifters with the witches brew you have one hot stew. Lol. Seeing the chemistry between Zane and Raven made the book even better. Casters & Claws is going to be another amazing series from my favorite author Milly Taiden.

Oh yeah Milly T and new series go hand in hand and so excited to read about a new world and characters she creates.
Our book city… Salem…mmmm now you know it’s going to be fun! Witches and Wolves oh my! Witches and Witches seem to be the name of the game in this story and the town sheriff will have his hands full not only with witches but with one witch in particular.
Now, how easy will the Sheriff have it do you wonder when he tried to save the witches’ lives by telling them to hightail it out of town for a bit. *laughs* exactly! Raven and her fam yeah they have other ideas and plans and their Sheriff is so not on board.
A hot and sassy a bit snarky witch and a harried oh so sexy wolf shifter… what could possibly happen?? Chemistry, heat and who knows what else. Grab the story and find out, Enjoy

I loved the enemies to lovers storyline. Zane is a wolf and a cop. she’s a witch who believes in herself and doesn’t need a mans help. These two butt heads;until she’s in danger. Now all bets are off. Excellent read

Overall rating: 4
Very entertaining with wonderful characters. There was something about the air witch’s magical abilities that felt stunted without explanation but this is only book one and there is probably more to this. The mature content is on point as usual so very much an easy recommend fir readers that need steam in their books. I have a few guesses for book two so I am definitely looking forward to it’s release. All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
I absolutely loved Raven and Zane. Raven is a witch who can trace her lineage to the very first Salem witches. Zane is a sheriff and wolf shifter. When Zane receives a possible threat against all the witches in his town he and the alpha act immediately. Raven just wants to live her life run her shop in peace. When a sexy bossy sheriff shows up to tell her that her life is in danger and needs to leave the town well that doesn’t go over very well. After the heart break of her last relationship Raven will not trust easily. Can Zane prove he’s nothing like her ex? Can Raven make room in her heart? Or will the witch Hunter’s get her before she can decide?
The Salem Witch Hunt is beginning again with an order bent on killing off the descendants of the first Salem witch trials. The local shifter pack is ready to prevent the senseless murder of these women. Zane the sheriff is ready to protect Raven, but she makes it difficult for him. She has been burned by a man before and isn’t ready to relinquish control to another man even if he claims that she is his mate.
Pretty good story. I enjoy Milly Taiden’s books. Entertaining and quick to read.

This is the start of a new series by author Milly Taiden and what a start this is indeed. This book gets start gets off with all kinds of bullets flying and wolves & witches are finding they are having the duck and hide in Salem. In this first book we get to know Sheriff Zack and Raven one of a set of twin witches who happens to own a shop in Salem. Have you heard of Meet Cutes? Well, this is a wild one for the books for sure. Zack and Raven’s book is so good that I know the rest of this series is going to be even better. I am so impatient to get to the next book and see what happened across the lake at Axel’s place.
Fabulously fabulous fabulousness. Great new series from Milly Taiden.
I highly recommend this book to all.
Love this book and look forward in anticipation for the next one in the Castors and Claws series. As in all of Milly Taidens wonderful books, I was not disappointed in the thrills and adventures in the start of another series. Once again, I cannot put down and thoroughly in love with.

This was a enjoyable and entertaining read and a great start for a new series. But let me tell you that I had a loved hate relationship with Raven. I felt bad for Zane thought out the whole book. I’m all for a strong heroine but she took it to the extreme she had a know it all complex and was stubborn to boot. I’m glad that she got it together in the end. Overall a good read looking forward to seeing what else is in store for this series. I received a free copy via booksprout I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
This is a story of hate versus love. In this fast paced tale we have Raven a witch with trust issues. Zane a wolf shifter cop taking his job way too personally and a bunch of bigoted lunatics after Raven and her family. Zane knows he can keep Raven safe but what the sassy witch is doing to his heart he may never recover from. This is a sexy fun romp with serious undertones that will both entertain you and get you to thinking.
Spellbound in Salem is the first book in the new series Casters & Claws. In it we meet witch Raven & wolf shifter Zane & follow them in their fight for happily ever after.
Raven Bishop & her family are descended from a long line of witches in Salem, dating back to the infamous Witch Trials. She & her twin are content to run their small shop in Salem, that is until the local sheriff comes in with trouble right behind him. When a bunch of witch hunters come after her, she’d rather stand & fight. It doesn’t matter that she’s never hurt anyone before. And she’s not gonna let that sheriff order her around, no matter how handsome he is.
Zane is the city sheriff as well as his pack’s security officer, keeping a delicate balance between his roles with the help of his friend & alpha. But everything changes when he gets word of a group of witch hunters determined to rid Salem of witches starting with the Bishop sisters. He runs into more than trouble when he goes to take Raven into protective custody & finds she’s his mate.
This book seems like a good start to a new & different type of series for this author. The lead characters have me a little on the fence however. The male lead seems a little on the wishy washy side in a spot or two while the female lead gives off too much of a shrew vibe at times. The supporting cast doesn’t make too many appearances but help move things along when needed. The story line is an interesting one & I’m looking forward to seeing it develope in future books. All in all, this book is worth giving a try.
I voluntarily read & reviewed this advanced reader’s copy.
Sweet twist on the witches of Salem with a side of shifters I love it. Wanted to shake Raven throughout the book, understandable but still lol. She met her match with Zane though, where she’s high strung he’s built with the patience to love her. Definitely want to see how the others faired.
Raven and bishop characters were fun to get to no Raven is a tough strong leading female. The story plot is entertaining and I definitely can’t wait to read bk2 great start to this new series.
Bringing the past to the present in Salem this new series finds modern day witches being hunted by some crazy people who think that all the women they think are witches need to die… Zane is sheriff and a wolf who tries to protect Raven who is one of the headstrong and difficult Bishop witches that are being targeted.. This book was funny, suspenseful, and a fun read….
This was good read. Zane and Raven are so different from each other. Spellbound in Salem is a shifter/witch story. It holds your attention and was enjoyable.
