"Drake Storm, Way of Witches..."
"Drake Storm, Way of Witches..."
Drake Storm Way of Witches is an extremely engaging read that I found hard to put down. It is well written and delivers non-stop action. This book is a worthy successor to the first novel in the series, Drake Storm Path of Spirits. We rejoin characters we came to know and care about in the first book and follow them through new adventures.
G.C. Moore did an excellent job researching the material in this book. While reading, I constantly found myself looking things up and learning new information. The story is rich with lore and legends from the Carolinas and the Cherokee and Catawba Nations. Moore’s experience on search and rescue teams is evident in his accurate, realistic depiction of SAR operations and K9 work.
There is also a serious side to this book. It highlights a form of crime that is tragically overlooked far too often. In Drake Storm Way of Witches, G.C. Moore brings attention to this issue, offering a subtle but powerful call to action, encouraging readers to remain vigilant and to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
Bottom line: this is a well-written, engaging story with likable characters on an intriguing adventure. It offers the opportunity to learn about the people and lore of the Carolinas while shining a light on an often-overlooked tragedy. Definitely a must-read.

A Sample of "Drake Storm, Way of Witches"
“Change of plans. I am going to stay here. You go with JW back to the IC and get him to the EMT’s and go with him to the de-briefing, understood?”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to track Viktor and find out where he went. I know he lied, and I have a good idea why.”
“You think he is operating a human trafficking ring here, don’t you. She turns to the chopper and gives the pilot a thumbs up, signaling he can lift.
I didn’t mean for her to stay with me. The chopper lifts off and drops down into the valley leaving Julie here with me.
“Team Alpha, this is Aerial One,” my radio crackles to life.
“Go ahead, Aerial One.”
“We will transport the subject to the IC and have medical check him out. We will come back for you in 30. Just hand tight at this location.”
“Negative on the extraction Aerial One. The subject mentioned losing his wallet. We’ll hike out and look for it. We are way past the eight hour operational period. We’ll hike for a bit, then camp, get some rest and hike out tomorrow,” I reply.
“Do you need any provisions?”
“Negative. We are good.”
“Good copy. See you tomorrow Team Alpha. Aerial One out.”
“Julie, it is a long hike back to the command. You should have taken the chopper.”
“Drake, Viktor is retired Spetsnaz. This could be dangerous. Remember what happened the last time you got involved in anti-human trafficking efforts and who had to rescue you? Besides you need me to help look for JW’s wallet,” she states, grinning, “and I need to tell you about JW’s vision.”
“Vision? That sounds interesting.”
“On the way to the chopper, he told me of a dream, or vision he had the day before. He said a witch had been communicating with him for several days, telling him to go look for her and that you were here to help.”
“Go look for who, Julie,” my interest growing.
“His vision was of a little girl, Drake. Maybe four or five years old. Lydia’s age.” she states.
“Did he say she was in the forest? Is that why he came here?”
“He said she was standing in front of a house, but he didn’t know where. So, he decided to ask the Moon Eyed People. He said they would know where she was. That is why he came out here Drake, so he could ask them to help find a little girl. Remember the intel you were provided about a potential trafficking victim close to Lydia’s age being spotted in the Boston area. Maybe this is what the witches or spirits are trying to communicate to us.”
“That is a very detailed vision.”
“It gets more detailed. In his vision the girl was with a Russian.”
