This is a new author to me, and I was intrigued by this book by the cover and the blurb alone. For some reason, something spoke out to me when I saw them and I thought I’d give this book a try…. After reading this book I have to say that I am honestly glad that I gave this book a chance because it was an incredible read. At the minute I’m in the mood for paranormal books, but mainly ones about witches… I have no idea why, but every now and then you can’t help but be in the mood for a certain type of genre. That being said, this week I have read 3 different series that have all been to do with witches and out of them, I have to say that this book was my favourite by far. There’s just something about this book that literally draws you in and gets you completely hooked with the story. I think that Samantha Silver is quite a talented writer and I know for a fact that I’ll be following her work now as it’s quite intriguing and it’s something that I’m very interested in.
The plot was easy to follow but whilst it was simple it was gripping and sometimes simple works a hell of a lot better, plus it’s not exactly fair on her that she’s just moved to be with her family who she’s literally just found out about and everyone in town hates her. I couldn’t fault the characters although I do feel for Eliza as her life has literally been tipped upside down in a matter of months. The one thing I do wish there was more of is the interaction between Eliza and the detective because it would be interesting seeing how the chemistry is between them, it’s clear that Eliza thinks he’s cute but we have no idea what the detective thinks. I hope in the future books Samantha does something for them or gives them more time to interact with each other.
I’m excited to see what happens next as I can tell it’s only just the beginning.
Eliza is a smart girl, she’s twenty three and is getting ready to start her first job, however this is a difficult time for her as her dad passed away a few months ago and she needs to a doistraction but to also see what the real world is like as she was sheltered when her dad was alive. Everything seems to be going well, but then in the afternoon on the first day, things end up going a little crazy and that’s because she was holding a broom. When she ends up flying around the mall with a broom she is scared for her life as she has no idea where the broom is going to take her…. But luckily for her her Aunt Lucy from her mom’s side is there to help and she takes her back home to where the rest of her family are and ends up discovering she’s a witch….
With deciding to see how things turn out with the family, she decides to stay for a bit and the first day she’s working at the family coffee shop a customer ends up dying right there in front of her. What makes it worse is that the whole town think she’s the killer…. Will Eliza and her new family be able to help clear her name or will the town succeed at nailing her as the killer????
