Amber Argyle

Amber Argyle grew up with three brothers on a cattle ranch in the Rocky Mountains. She spent hours riding horses, roaming the mountains, and playing in her family’s creepy barn. This environment fueled her imagination for writing her debut novel. She currently resides in Utah with her husband and three small children.

Witch Song


Witch Song

Amber Argyle started out with a great debut novel. Senna is a humble champion for witches that learns to overcome the trials placed before her while struggling to come to terms with the tasks placed before her. The pacing is great making it an easy read. I don't care for much romance in my novels, and Amber was able to keep it to acceptable levels for my enjoyment, leaving me more entertained with the action sequences. Amber brings her imagery to life allowing the reader to enjoy the twists to witchcraft the she creates in her novel.

This was refreshing to read after being disappointed with the movie "Season of the Witch". Amber is a credit to the writing community, and made witches seem so powerful yet so average at the same time that you wonder throughout the story how things will turn out for Senna and her fellow witches as she sets out to free them from Espen, the Dark Witch, who has captured all but Senna. I did however feel that some of the action towards the end gave Senna more power than was built up throughout the story. Regardless, I was entertained.
