Origin: A Dystopian Paranormal Romance Novel (Othala Witch Collection Sector 1) Kindle Edition

Thief. Witch. Doomed Queen.

In Sector One, there is no greater commodity than a witch. Should they be discovered by the hunters, they will suffer one of two fates--both of which end in death--unless they can bring forth an heir for the sector's Regent. The only problem is, the Regent is sterile, and he would sooner exile a Doomed Queen than admit that to himself or anyone else. This is Adira Chovanek's fate.
Witch Hunter Alec Kladivo has given Adira just under two weeks to turn herself in and accept her role as the Doomed Queen. And he's spent each and every one of those days trying to convince her it is the right thing to do, and the only hope of saving their sector from extinction. But what happens once he's finally persuaded her, only to find out he'd been mistaken all along?

Scroll up and one click today for a steamy paranormal adventure fans of J.R. Ward, Gena Showalter, and Larissa Ione will find utterly addicting.

From the Inside Flap

Many years ago, the Original Sixteen witches were able to contain an outbreak of demon-like creatures from overtaking the earth. But doing so came at a cost. For the human race to survive, the world had to be divided into sixteen sectors, trapping the Ravagers to the Outlands beyond, and trapping the humans in.

The Original Sixteen served as Regents over each of these sectors, and when they died, the strongest of witches took their place, using their own personal enchantment abilities to protect their sector. In the process, communication was lost. The only solace that remains is the knowledge that if another sector fails, their own may still survive.

But what happens when your sector is the one to fail? What happens when the world inside your walls is just as bad as the one outside them? In this collection of sixteen dystopian paranormal romance tales, each and every one of the sixteen sectors is about to find out.

What can I say but 'WOW'. I had purchased this book several months ago and I have only just gotten around to reading it. Of course the surprise gift from the author was a big motivator for me to get this book read in a reasonable amount of time. 'Origin' is only the second book I have read from this author but i have a huge collection of Mrs Hamilton's books on my Nook just waiting to be read so you can betcha I will now be making them a priority because there is no better way to escape your troubles than a good book. This story is an amazing dystopian Romance Story. Adria and Alec had captured my heart from beginning to end and this was a decent size book too. I believe it was about 300 pages but I could not put the book down and I forced myself to stay awake during the early hours of the morning. There is so much action, twists and turns, magic, witchery, zombie like monsters that got me fixated on the story. i loved the main characters and there was so much excitement I actually was sad when it ended. I am fast becoming a fan of Ms Hamilton and I can not wait to see what else she has written. If your into paranormal, witches, goblins (some what) and magic then this is the book for you.

Wow wow WOW! I loved this book! It kept me hooked from beginning to end.
Alec and Adria are amazing and I am so glad I got to know them. They are both courageous in their own way and willing to do so much for the ones they care about.
Adria goes from the girl on the streets struggling to survive and thinking of only herself to a woman who would sacrifice her own life to save the people of Sector One.
Alec goes from a soldier blindly following a man he admired from boyhood to a man who would stand against what he knows is wrong and will do everything he can to protect the woman he loves.
They both go through their own struggles - Adria, understanding how everyone in the sector needs her help; and Alec, learning that their are some things that simply is not right to sacrifice, even for the "greater good" - and overcome them on their own.

I really loved this book and I look forward to the rest of the series!

Story was ok. Kept me entertained but I was lost a little on the whole backstory of why they decided the people into different sectors and why this one warlock has control over everyone and can decide to kill his brides... The one on one story with the main charters was ok.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2016

Once I began reading this, I simply could not put it down! The story was an unpredictable ride through a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and mystery. Plus, don't forget the romance! Just about every page had a new surprise that keeps you wanting to turn the pages to find out what happens next. You can really connect with the characters on an emotional level as if you are really there with them, and each setback or victory has you grimacing or smiling right along with them. There are a few steamy scenes, but nothing that goes so far as to be raunchy. All in all, this book gets a full 5 star rating from me and I can't wait to see the next one!

2.0 out of 5 stars The writing is so bad.
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
I had really high expectations for this book and it failed pretty much every one of them. I don't even know where to start with the issues I had reading this book. The writing was just plain bad. There were gaps in the timeline, the magic was glossed over and not explained in any detail. The relationships between the characters were non-existent. We're introduced to characters that aren't even fleshed out and we're supposed to believe there's a friendship or bond between any of them. I'm just glad this author didn't write any of the other books in this series, based on this book alone I won't read further.

You can’t be a witch and live.
You can’t be the regents right hand and love
But when the stars align and both happens, it’s spectacular!

I loved this book! Front to back and in-between. Spectacular plot, amazing characters, easy to read & addictive!

Rebecca Hamilton did it again!! This has been one of the best book I have read this week. It took me one day to finish it because I couldn't put it down.
I loved the main character and the way she faces her future. It kept getting better and better till the end.
I highly recommend it to everyone who loves this kind of reading, and of course, to all of you who love Rebecca Hamilton' s writing.

The regent needs a wife who is a witch who can give him a child to take over protecting the sector from the Ravagers. Problem is he is infertile so keeps banishing his wives to be killed rather than admit he has a problem.

Alec is a Hunter who searches for witches for the regent to marry and is looking for the next person. Adira is a witch that that Alec finds but cannot bear to hand her in immediately so gives her 13 days to prepare for the tests she will have as the regent's chosen bride. Alec helps to train her in combat in preparation for handing her in. Will he have the strength to hand her in or will they both give in to the pull between them?

I loved this book and the twists and turns in the story. A couple of times I became quite teary eyed so could definitely sense the emotion in those sections. Definitely recommended.

Complete brilliance . I love this genre of books and this one is easily one of the best. Full on action from page one it all made sense and the continuity of the story line was as good as any other book I've read. I always review books on their enjoyability and this story deserves its five star accreditation. A definite recommendation to have on your "to read shelf "and don't leave it there too long.

This is a steamy read with a powerful story I couldn't help but be pulled into. It's kind of a dark fantasy/dystopian setting with a paranormal romance at it's heart. Fans of adult PNR will love it.
