The Witch of Tin Mountain

De: Paulette Kennedy

Narrado por: Amy Bentley, Courtney Patterson

In Depression-era Arkansas, something wicked has come to a haunted mountain town in a novel of uncanny suspense by the author of Parting the Veil.

Blood and power bind three generations of women in the Ozark Mountains. So does an evil that’s followed them across the decades.

1931. Gracelynn Doherty lives peacefully on Tin Mountain, helping her adoptive granny work her cures. Despite whispers that the women are witches, the superstitious locals still seek them out, whether to remedy arthritis or a broken heart. But when evangelist Josiah Bellflower comes to town promising miracle healing, full bellies, and prosperity, his revivals soon hold Tin Mountain in thrall—and Granny in abject fear.

Granny recognizes Josiah. Fifty years ago, in a dark and desperate moment, she made a terrible promise. Now Josiah, an enemy, has returned to collect his due.

As Granny sickens and the drought-ridden countryside falls under a curse, Gracelynn must choose: flee Tin Mountain and the only family she knows, or confront the vengeful preacher whose unholy mission is to destroy her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“With LGBTQ representation, Kennedy’s captivating second novel is perfect for historical fiction readers who enjoy a bit of witchcraft, folklore, and mystery.”—Booklist

“The antagonist, the demon, goes by three different names and is incredibly real. So real that images from the novel lingered for days in my mind.”—Historical Novels Review

“Kennedy weaves an achingly beautiful tale full of dark folklore, powerful women, and spine-tingling suspense. Deirdre’s and Gracelynn’s stories will grab you by the heart and stay with you long after the last page.”—Hester Fox, author of A Lullaby for Witches

Relatable characters from my neck of the woods

I absolutely loved this book. The characters were relatable in spirit, as I too am an Arkansas native from the same area. The storytelling is gripping and beautiful. Suspense at the end of each chapter left me wanting more. And I was rooting for each character the whole time. This is one of those stories that won't ever leave me. I plan on buying a hard copy to always have.

Beautiful

Great book

I don’t know what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised! This book is fantastic!!

story

the story line was ok. just a little confusing. may try to listen again.

A compelling story

I loved this story. I was intrigued by the twists and turns and by the varied characters. Forbidden loves and the consequences of giving into those desires. The narration was wonderful.

the apothecary/witch vibes are my thing

I love the fact that the characters used herbal teas for medical uses. it was a bit confusing at first of the story line. but I love the fact there were 2 audio storytellers for both points of view. I love love love this book/audiobook!

Wanted more

Like a lot of reviews, this story didn’t really have many plot choices that came as a surprise.
The number of comparison references was exhausting and unnecessary. Would have a hard time recommending as there are better generational magic books out there.

Everything I was hoping for and more!

Such good story telling and character development. As a mountain girl myself, I respect and appreciate how Appalachia was portrayed. So good!

Interesting story

I enjoyed listening to this story of magical realism about several generations of women living on Tin Mountain, AR, with special powers to heal trying to cope with an unwanted “traveling minister.”
