Synopsis

She is beautiful, ageless, and cursed with an unfortunate appetite for human flesh. To her undead mind, a good man and a good meal are one and the same, which leads her to swear off love altogether. Although afflicted with a seductive form most unsuitable for a witch, she hides her natural charms behind the guise of a grimy old crone, never regretting her chosen path...until she meets him.He is Wyst of the West, defender of the weak, sworn champion of decency, and avowed foe of evil. As a White Knight, he draws his strength from his purity of soul and his unbreakable vow of chastity. To give his heart to any woman, let alone an accursed witch, would leave him weak and vulnerable.United on a perilous quest to save their world from an insane sorcerer, the witch and the knight must fight against the overwhelming temptation drawing them ever closer together. Can she resist urges both carnivorous and carnal, lest their forbidden desires spell their doom?

About this title

Review:

Thanks to a healthy dose of Martinez's signature humor, [it's] entertainingly witchy. "Booklist on A Nameless Witch" Reformed warrior robot Mack Megaton searches for a missing family--and a moral purpose--in a city of exotic mutants. . . . Mack's smash-and-grab mission acquires some satisfying philosophical heft. "Entertainment Weekly on The Automatic Detective" A smart, rocket-fast read with a clever, twisty plot that comes to a satisfying conclusion. "Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Automatic Detective" Fans of Douglas Adams will happily sink their teeth into this combo platter of raunchy laughs and ectoplasmic ecstasy. "Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Gil's All Fright Diner""
