QUATTRO STELLINE E MEZZO. Partiamo dal presupposto che ADORO i romanzi che parlano di “streghe” . Il tutto si fa ancora più accattivante se aggiungiamo una trama coinvolgente, una bella storia d’amore, segreti, un interessante alone di mistero e il modo di scrivere di Jessica Spotswood, che ha ca...
I pulled this off the ARC shelves of the bookstore where I work part time, hoping to finally find a YA trilogy I could really enjoy and handsell the crap out of. I think this may be it- I didn't LOVE it, but I can see why other people are going to.This was a weird combination of Practical Magic, ...

3.5 starsI have not read very many witch books. I thought the premise was pretty interesting. The books takes place in an alternate universe at the end of the 19th century in New England.

I'm going to agree with other reviewers. I found this to be a fairly satisfying conclusion to the series. The prophecy played out how I thought it would (for the most part).

I wouldn't change a thing because it's got the perfect mix of action, love, heartbreak and plot twists.Lots of tears at the end because Jessica Spotswood's writing is just phenomenal. I just wish to read a...
I wished to tell him that his dead business partner wanted him to go back to camp with a bar of lye soap and soak in a hot bath, but I suspected any business partner of his wouldn’t have been much for hygiene either, and the prospector’s glare told me he was already skeptical enough. “The spirits...
TESS CALLS. “SHE’S here!” She and Maura scamper out the front door before I can stop them. Father and I follow, with more decorum but just as much curiosity. Our carriage is rattling slowly up the potholed drive with the new governess inside. I’m not optimistic. After all, Mrs. Corbett recommende...
Bong. Bong. The doorbell gives another stately chime, and I give the table one last glance. I’ve set it with our blue-flowered china and plunked a vase of daisies in the middle. With rain pattering on the windows and a loaf of French bread baking in the oven, the kitchen i...
