I LOVE all things witch, witch trials, occult etc, if your book includes those things chances are I will read it and enjoy it, and this novel was right up my alley! Katherine Howe is a descendant of two accused Salem “witches” and she has created a very well researched and well crafted (haha no pun intended) story that weaves facts with fiction in a truly enthralling story. The novel jumps back and forth from present day to the 1600's and the cast of characters are well developed and interesting. The only negative point I had with the novel is the author really telegraphs who the “bad guy” is very early on in the novel, it is quite obvious and therefore, for me, took away a bit of the “who done it”, but that really was just a minor issue for me and I really enjoyed the book overall!
