Synopsis:
Wes Rockville, a disgraced law-enforcement agent, gets one last chance to prove himself and save his career when he’s reassigned to a 232-year-old secret government organization. The Witches Protection Program. His first assignment: uncover a billion-dollar cosmetics company’s diabolical plan to use witchcraft for global domination, while protecting its heiress Morgan Pendragon from her aunt’s evil deeds. Reluctantly paired with veteran witch protector, Alastair Verne, Wes must learn to believe in witches...and believe in himself. Filled with adventure and suspense, Michael Okon creates a rousing, tongue-in-cheek alternate reality where witches cast spells and wreak havoc in modern-day New York City.
Review:
"WITCHES PROTECTION PROGRAM is a zany supernatural romp that doesn't take itself too seriously; it's a fun premise and the execution is nearly perfect." - Lisa Butts, IndieReader "A deftly crafted fantasy novel that adroitly blends humor, adventure, and suspense, "Witches Protection Program" by author Michael Okon takes place in an alternative reality -- one in which witchcraft is real and the witches cast spells and wreak havoc among the general populace of a present-day New York City. A consistently entertaining read from cover to cover, "Witches Protection Program" is unreservedly recommended for community library Contemporary Science Fiction & Fantasy collections." - James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review "This book would make a great storyline for a supernatural detective series. I think this book is too good to be just one story, and would make a great transition to become a prime time television series. I would like to see Michael Okon explore the possibility of creating a Netflix or Hulu series. For anyone who enjoys detective stories with a supernatural test- this is the book for you." - Patricia Lynn Dompieri, Lemon Bee & Other Peculiar Tales "Quill says: Okon, just like his characters, places you under his spell and leads you on a journey you'll absolutely love!" - Feathered Quill "Okon has fun developing the witches and their magic, as well as the WPP team designed to protect the world from them. The result is a light, fast-paced, comical, adventurous plot, where fantasy and the fantastic rule. It is chock full of action - New York bridges coming apart, hawks smashing into windshields, races to block cosmetic shipments - and sprinkled with a bit of romance." - Booktribb, Fighting Magic Fire with Magic Fire in the Witches Protection Program, By Jim Alkon "This is a laugh-out-loud story, one that will hook you from the first page and give you a lot of fun along the way. Take Men in Black, add a little Harry Potter and a dose of Steampunk and you have Witches Protection Program. Excellent story; I really hope the way it ended indicates a sequel." - Anne-Marie Reynolds, (5-Star Review) Readers' Favorite "This well-written urban fantasy was a big surprise; one that has me hoping for further adventures. Witches Protection Program is most highly recommended." - Jack Magnus, (5-Star Review) Readers' Favorite "Funny and imaginative, Witches Protection Program is highly entertaining and I look forward to reading the sequel." - Lit Amri (5-Star Review) Readers' Favorite "Michael Okon has brewed up a wonderful bubbling concoction with his easy-to-read style--the recipe: action, a lesson in consumerism, a little brewing romance, some steampunk weaponry, a plot twist and (in Okon style) elements of rich witch history. It could easily be likened to "Men in Black" meets "The Witches of Eastwick," with a small moment of "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." - The Children's Book Review "Witches Protection Program is a great summer choice, ideal for beach or poolside reading, and with elements of romance, action, crime, and fantasy, there's a little something for everyone to enjoy." - Foreword Reviews "...mixes predictable elements--corporate intrigue, sexy witches, cat familiars, car chases, family secrets, and steampunk weaponry--into an enjoyable story.'" - Publisher's Weekly "Cleverly offbeat, often cheeky, and loads of fun." - Kirkus "WITCHES PROTECTION PROGRAM is a fun and quick read, and the out-of-the-norm narrative choices make the novel feel like something wonderfully subversive." - IndieReaderPreview "Witches Protection Program is a unique gem, one that's fast-paced with twists, action, and fun characters." - Liz Konkel for Readers' Favorite, Five Star Review "Witches Protection Program will hook you if not for the action, then the romance and if not for the romance, then the sheer humor, what with its funny dialogue." - Liezl Ruiz, NetGalley Reviewer
