"Steeped in Gothic eeriness."--Nicola Cornick, USA Today bestselling author

In Salem, they burned. Now, they will rise.

New Oldbury, 1821

The house holds its breath, trying to outlast me…

Something has awakened in Willow Hall. Eighteen-year-old Lydia Montrose can feel it. But she has no idea what it is.

Rocked by rumor and scandal, Lydia, her parents, and her sisters, Catherine and Emeline, fled their sparkling life in Boston for the sleepy country estate. But bone-chilling noises in the night have Lydia convinced their idyllic new home wasn’t exactly vacant when they arrived.

The Salem witch trials cast a long shadow over the Montrose family as the cloying heat of summer in Massachusetts mingles with something sinister in the air. The sprawling history of Willow Hall is no stranger to secrets, and its dark past soon calls to Lydia, igniting ancient magic she never knew she possessed. But with menacing forces unwilling to rest, threatening to tear her family apart, Lydia must learn to harness her newly discovered power or risk losing everyone she holds dear.

Don't miss A MAGIC DEEP & DROWNING, Hester Fox's lush, enchanting reimagining of The Little Mermaid, where a young woman in 1650 Friesland must face a deadly choice between love, duty, and a mythic legacy...

Good idea took too long

This book would have been interesting if it wasn’t so drawn out and slow. The plot was great and I would have loved this book if it weren’t for the dragging & nagging. I’m still curious to try another Hester Fox book to see if she gets better at getting to the point

Good story with many twists and turns

I like the narrator, she makes the story interesting and helps to engage the listener

I love all things witch

wonderful story and romance mixed in to a tale of a family of good witches and learning to find inner strength through bad things

Wonderful story to lose yourself in

I enjoyed the character development. Even though the tension in the book gave me anxiety, it was well placed. And I love a happy ending.

The narrator sounded like all the men’s voices were done through clenched teeth. Her syntax and rhythm were wonderful. The variety of distinctive voices were minimal and I had difficulty distinguishing between characters by voice alone.

Enjoyed the time I spent with these characters.

Not much witch

Mostly romance very little witch, magic, ghosts or scariness. Kept waiting for the magic, lots of sensitive girls.

Wonderful storytelling

I thoroughly enjoy this compelling tale. Lovely prose combined with good character development and excellent narration made this story hard to put down.

Gothic haunting + a bit of green witchcraft

Enjoyed it all the way through, had me feeling feelings and fully invested in Lydia’s life. Loved the narration too, felt a little Judy Garland in Meet Me in St Louis

really good

Really well done Gothic romance. The characters were well developed and their actions made sense considering their insecurities, time period, and relationships to each other. There was a careful slow build up with gentle suspense throughout. This was one that kept me up late wanting to know what was going to happen next.

wonderful!

One of the best witch/ ghostly/love stories I've read in ages! although I get a little frustrated with the heroine on occasion for her stupidity. no matter, I still loved it.

one of the best I have listened to.

excellent on all accounts. starts off intriguing and continues throughout the book. I couldn't leave it for long.
