The witch looked surprised to see me, her eyes blinking furiously at me through murky waters. I don‘t know why she was so astonished. It was my lake she‘d been thrown into; she should have expected I‘d come and see if there was anyone worth eating.

pickMy first 5 star book of December. This book brings together great fairytale and folk lore. It has family both lost and found. Friendships and loss. It was also written in the most charming way. It's available on request from NetGalley and releases in February.
pickA lake monster, a witch, and a hobgoblin go on a quest to save their home from a malevolent force in a pastor‘s cassock in this darkly cozy fantasy that draws on British, Celtic, and Arthurian folklore. The slow pace had me skimming, and I didn‘t find the central plot the most compelling—I loved the parts that explored the challenges of friendship between the disparate companions, and I wish we‘d gotten more of that, especially from Brackus.
