Having been a history major in college, this book was perfect for me. It is a wonderful mix of historical events, great characters, and a moving story. I really did like this book and if you enjoy a little bit of magic mixed in with real history, you may like this one too.The book opens in 1628 an...

This book kept me captivated. I enjoyed the mystery of who Gideon was going to transform into. I thought that the ending was brilliant. The book couldn't have ended any other way. Can't hear Greensleeves without getting a chill.

The Witch's Daughter was a fairly enjoyable read that made up in the evenly paced writing what it lacked in character and plot development.

The whole "creation" tale was done a bit different than I'm used it (though I've not read that much in the way of witch or wiccan story lines). Instead of being just born into the skill, its more of a learned skill and gift from another.My favorite portions were those from Bess's past. Those flowed ...

I enjoyed reading about Elizabeth's long life at its various points and the ending was pretty exciting, but I did get a little mad at the way it seemed she forgot that her enemy was out there (I can't be much more clear without including spoilers). After the first run in, I was able to tell who the ...
