Review
The author has a good style, I enjoyed the writing which painted a wonderful picture of New Hampshire. Characters were well imagined and delivered. Plot wise I felt things was too little early on. Obviously you’d purchase this book knowing of the Witch theme but during the first quarter I was waiting for something of note to happen- as I mentioned the writing is good enough to carry you along but the set-up just went on too long for me. I’m not expecting an all action occult fest from page one but having read the summary as any punter would I felt I was waiting too long. Once it did I didn’t feel a real edge to the novel. Obviously this is a personal opinion and I can’t really fault the writing.
★★★☆☆
+ Why you’ll like it
Lovely descriptive style, developed characters, slow and easy style.
- Why you won’t
If you don’t like the slow and easy style! I’d imagine if you enjoy this niche you wouldn’t be too disappointed but it lacked an edge for me.
