MY REVIEW

What I loved about this story...  I love a good historical romance, especially when it has a split narrative and this one has three different narratives!  I am going to be honest and say that the main reason I picked up this story was because of the cover!  I mean, look at it.  Its beautiful.  But I am so glad that I did pick it up, because this story is good.  I love a good witch story and its been a while since I picked one up it was due.  Yes, each of the stories were very good but, for me, the best part was following each of the characters and seeing how they dealt with the different challenges that they faced.  

What I didn't like about this story...  For me, there were no surprises in this story or hooks that would keep me reading.  I appreciate that this is one of those stories that is about the characters (and I really did enjoy that part of it) but I would have loved a few surprises.  

Would I recommend...   Do pick this up.   If you love a good witch story, don't miss  out on not reading.
