The Moorwitch

De: Jessica Khoury

Narrado por: Elizabeth Knowelden

In this sweeping romantic fantasy from bestselling author Jessica Khoury, a young witch caught in a twisted bargain with the fae must disguise herself as a governess and uncover the gateway to the realm of faerie in order to save her dying magic and escape the clutches of her controlling fae handler—even as she finds herself falling for her new employer, an enigmatic young Scottish laird and the owner of a crumbling estate brimming with secrets.

Rose Pryor has sacrificed everything for magic. As a Weaver skilled in the craft of spinning spells with thread and needle, she’s always chosen magic over love, and it was magic that brought her to Lachlan, the fae with whom Rose once struck a sinister deal in order to escape her abusive home. After years of running from her past, Rose has finally managed to build a new life for herself as a teacher in a school for young Weavers. But Rose has a secret: Her magic is waning, and every spell she weaves to train her students is slowly killing her.

When Lachlan returns to collect the debt Rose owes him, she finds herself on a perilous journey to the Scottish moors where she must find him an ancient gateway to the realm of the fae, lest her precious magic be forfeit. But when her quest pits her against Conrad, a young laird with a soul as lonely as her own who hires Rose to work as a governess for his rebellious young sister, Rose finds herself torn between her promise to Lachlan and her budding feelings for her new employer as her search for the gateway puts both her magic and her heart at stake.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Moorwitch weaves a spell as vivid as the magic within its pages. Prepare for a sweeping fantasy that rings of classic tales, mystical realms, and sweet romance, all threaded into one enchanting tapestry.”—Sara Raasch, New York Times bestselling author of Night of the Witch

“Breathtaking in both romance and magic, this is a must-read!”—Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of Night of the Witch

Bit Slow

Although not my typical genre, I enjoyed the book. I admit to finding it quite slow at times and finding Rose’s daftness tedious, but it was a fun story.

Enjoyed this! Especially those final chapters!

I came across this, and saw it was KU with Audio… and decided I needed something to play while I did cleaning… and then I slowly became invested… I even went back to restart it because I missed some details !! I love the fantasy, and different use of magick with the weaving… the Fae of course is always awesome to have! The Faustian deal and the overall build up leading to those climatic final chapters! Really fun!

Well Narrated and unique magic

Loved the unique magic in this story. Yes it’s appears as a stand alone story but the ending does leave a lot build on if the author chooses. If not you can use your imagination to tie up loose ends. Good read for any age. Mild romance and limited violence but still engaging and entertaining.

The Moor Witch isn't too Witchy but is a fairy tale worth reading

This is an enjoyable story that has you never too sure about who is good and who is evil because as in life things aren't always black and white but somewhere in between. This story is very much about exploring those place in between where this book effectively explores different kinds of love between different kinds of people.

There are every changing twists until the end. Z just when you think things are sorted out, the unexpected happens. Childhood traumas and how they affect people throughout their lives is an important theme explored in this story. The importance of love between siblings is another important theme.

The magic world in this story is unique and exciting because it keeps popping up in different variations that are unexpected.

I definitely recommend reading the Moor Witch or listening to the Audiobook which is very well done.

How kind the W⁵eaver was.

With all the twists and turns, struggles and realizations, the reader never loses interest! I was immersed in this wonderful story until the last kiss.
