About this listen

The historical must-listen for the autumn, perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches and Outlander.

Years after the Salem witch trials one witch remains. She just doesn’t know it… yet.

Growing up Lydia Montrose knew she was descended from the legendary witches of Salem but was warned to never show the world what she could do and so slowly forgot her legacy. But Willow Hall has awoken something inside her…

1821: Having fled family scandal in Boston Willow Hall seems an idyllic refuge from the world, especially when Lydia meets the previous owner of the house, John Barrett.

But a subtle menace haunts the grounds of Willow Hall, with strange voices and ghostly apparitions in the night, calling to Lydia’s secret inheritance and leading to a greater tragedy than she could ever imagine.

Can Lydia confront her inner witch and harness her powers or is it too late to save herself and her family from the deadly fate of Willow Hall?

Highly enjoyable

I would say this is a borderline YA novel.
As a debut novel it kept me reading as I was eager to find out more about the characters and their dynamics. I found Catherine about as deep as a muddy puddle as just as unpleasant.

The secrets were unraveled slowly but oh boy were they worth waiting for.

Very different to expectation

This type of story is most definitely not something I would choose to read. Regardless of what the synopsis says, this is a love story in the vain of how I imagine the likes of pride and prejudice would play out. it's a pity the author chose to go that route as there is potential here, but I guess love struck women and their pounding hearts sells better. well written but not for me.

Great

I actually liked this book very much although I didn’t expect to.
It’s a bit slow to start and the characters can be a bit annoying in the beginning but I soon got into it and the story developed very well and unexpectedly

Totally awesome

This story is full of suspense and passion. I had to listen in just two sittings, it was riveting. I can't wait to read more by this author. Excellently narrated.

Enjoyable

Liked this book very much.
But the American lady reading it spoilt it abit for me as the "erbs" instead of "herbs" was annoying.
Apart from that it was very good listening.
Love witchy stories.

A Good Story

I tend to listen to audio books in bed as a way of relaxing before I go to sleep. The story was set at a pleasant pace; with parts that gripped me here and there that made me want to know what happened next, even though I had promised myself I would stop at the end of the chapter to go to sleep! It also ended on a satisfying note. Lauren Ezzo's voice is pleasant to listen to, although personally I sometimes wish that when a male character speaks, a male actor reads the spoken words. I always find a female voice reading a man's line in a deep voice somewhat comical. Still, it was a book I enjoyed listening to, and know I will happily listen to it again sometime in the future.
