Witches Protection Program by Michael Phillip Cash Review
Reviewed by David Savage
Witches Protection Program is the exciting new novel from Michael Phillip Cash about a secret government agency that protects good witches while stopping the bad witches who live amongst us.
This story is about two different sects of witches; the Davinas who only use their witchcraft for good and selfless reasons and the Willas who use their craft for bad and selfish reasons and these witches have lived in secret among everyday humans for hundreds of years. The Witches Protection Program is a 232 year old secret government organisation set up to protect the Davinas from the Willas.
Wes Rockville is a disgraced state police officer and after losing a suspect during a prisoner transfer he is re-assigned to the Witches Protection Program, the only problems being that he has never heard of it and certainly doesn’t believe in witches!
His first assignment is to uncover and stop a worldwide cosmetics company’s plan for global domination by using a new facecream that has a secret ingredient, witch DNA. As part of this investigation he also has to protect the company’s heiress, Morgan Pendragon, from her beloved aunt’s evil plan. But to do this he first has to believe in witches and witchcraft as well as overcoming his own problems.
Overall, this is another great read from Michael Phillip Cash. This fantasy story flows very well and is very easy to read, pure escapism building up into a fast-paced exciting finish. With a mix of magic, action, love and some great characters after the first few chapters I couldn’t put it down! All the characters are strong and all have their flaws; Wes Rockville is a policeman just trying to prove himself in his overachieving family, Morgan the good witch doesn’t really like using witchcraft, Junie “Baby Fat” Meadows is an ugly witch with a magic mirror and mean stew while Bernadette is a man hating, bad witch hell bent on world domination with women ruling the world and enslaving men.
The Witches Protection Program is pure entertainment that has thrills, excitement, humour and surprises, what more could you want from a novel? An excellent story to escape the rigours of day-to-day life and be immersed in a world where witchcraft does exist, and who knows, maybe it does!
Michael Phillip Cash is an excellent storyteller and no matter what genre he is writing about he manages to write thoroughly enjoyable stories and the Witches Protection Program is definitely one to read.
