so-soYet another spooky read for the spooky season! While this wasn‘t one of my favorite books, I love that much of it took place in Edinburgh, Scotland. The area fascinates me. I was lucky enough to have visited it years ago. The story went back and forth between 2 periods, one in the 1500s and one modern day. I can tell that a lot of research went into writing this book.
So many witchy books I want to read! I‘ll still be reading them in December!

pick2024- Erin is found badly burned on an uninhibited island, her boyfriend dead, her best friend vanished. When she wakes she claims to be called Nyx.1594- Allison stands accused of witchcraft- and the details of the trial are horrifying. Both women have been in possession of the same book. In the present, Erin's mom tries figure out what happened to her and her friends.
so-soI thought the ending was predictable and needed more….

I'm in Kirkwall and Edinburgh, observing an ancient (horrifying) witch trial and trying to figure out what has happened to 3 teenagers in the present day.

I've recently started enjoying books on this topic. I've decided to add new genres to my reading experience. This book was very good.
Very well written and informative. The Author's Note at the end was worth reading also. I tend to recommend that when I review a book. This is no exception.

pickA fun, fast read effect for this time of year. Erin goes off to Orkney with friends where tragedy strikes—her boyfriend dies, her best friend disappears, & Erin wakes up in the hospital not quite herself. The story of what happens is interwoven with the story of Alison, a woman accused of witchcraft in the 16th c. Time is running out for both of them & a mysterious book with black pages may save or destroy them both. Entertaining read.
Started this one last night and am really enjoying it so far.
This arrived today and it sounds so good I might just deviate from my pattern of not reading #BOTM books for AGES and dig into this next. 😁
It‘s that time of month again!!
