Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire

WELCOME TO FOXFIRE

The rules here are simple:

Don’t look in the trees.

Don’t whistle in the woods at night.

Don’t answer if you hear your name called.

And remember . . . everything wants.

Verity Vox is a witch-in-training who has never met a problem her spells can’t solve. But when a cryptic plea for help sends her to the forgotten coal mining town of Foxfire, she soon learns even magic has its limits.

Verity discovers a curse was laid years ago by a traveling magician who vanished into the ancient Appalachian hills to seek greater power. Crops won’t grow. Bellies go hungry. Even treasured possessions fall apart. What’s worse, people have gone missing amidst rumors that they’ve sought out the magician who is lying in wait for those foolish or desperate enough to strike a deal with him.

The witch must break the curse, find a missing girl, and solve the mystery of what’s really under the mountain before the town falls forever into the clutches of the monster lurking in the hills.

An amazing read!

I LOVED this book. I appreciate the care and thought that were put into so many of the details. My favorite details being those that described witchcraft and how it ties back to the land (and the moon!). The prose and language used in the story are just beautiful. The narrator is FANTASTIC. Her easy cadence made this such an enjoyable read. The only critique, and the reason for docking one star, is because she didn’t pronounce Appalachian correctly at the beginning of the book. I KNOW that may seem silly, but as someone who lives in Appalachia I can attest that we are sensitive and easily riled by this very thing. Otherwise it was a perfect performance.

Great Book!!

Great book but Jennifer Hale pronoucrs Appalachian as apa-lay-shan other wise her performance was great and the book was to.

Absolutely Magical

A magical world you can lose yourself in without a problematic author. I can't wait for the next one!

Cozy, witchy, oozing with small town charm

I’m obsessed. It is beautifully written and narrated. I just wish it was longer and there were 12 more of them. By the end I was crying like a baby even at the acknowledgments.

Absolutely fantastic

Honestly this was even better than I expected. I loved the beauty of the story. The beauty of the characters. And the beauty of the land. This book was a sweet adventure. The narrator was excellent
