I sometimes wonder about why I review, and whether I enjoy reading less because of reading more critically. I think a closer reading of some things can enhance the experience, but fiction? Especially pop fiction? Maybe it takes some of the fun out of it. I think I might have enjoyed this book more a...
I think the historic aspect of this book was my favorite. I am obsessed with the Salem Witch Trials and the lore around it.This book had the perfect amount of everything: history, lore, romance, fantasy. What I was really impressed by, is how well Katherine Howe lets the story unfold, until by the...
I've come to the conclusion, that it's probably best to come to a book without any expectations. I had heard and read lots of very enthusiastic comments about this book before I started it, and therefore expected quite a lot.And, this book has a very interesting concept.

I really enjoyed this book. I like stories that seem to be about real people, even if they have a little fantasy and mystery thrown in.Connie is a Harvar grad student who is supposed to be spending the summer at her late granna's house cleaning it up and getting it ready to sell. While there, she ...

I really cannot decide whether to give this book 4 or 5 stars. I almost read it in one day, which is really unusual for me, but then, as much as I enjoyed it, it didn't leave me saying "WOW!" like The Weight of Silence or Neverwhere did. So, I guess that gives it a 4.5. The book takes place in b...
"What if, among those falsely accused during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, there had been a few actual witches?"...That is the premise of this historical novel, and Ms Howe delivers a good story...with a few flaws. Aside from a couple of characters who border on Caricature (the New Age Mom, the Ev...
