The Bewitching

Multigenerational, multicultural, and definitely gothic.

My first foray into witchcraft and thriller, I thought 'You simply live through it' was an exceptional through line. Very well written and composed.

An interesting look into one culture's view of witches. Minerva, Alba, and Virginia all from different generations yet connected via witchcraft. To be honest, at times, I almost gave up on the book as it seemed to move too slowly. yet it managed to keep my interest to the end. All in all, I did rather enjoy the book. Would I recommend it? Only to certain people. If you are interested in a different take on witches then this might be for you.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I think the three stories that are being told are interesting in their own rights and I love how they come together. The witches in this book are done in such a satisfying/horrifying way that I really appreciated the difference from the norm. I think the story falls short in some places and is a little too predictable but still I enjoyed the characters and the plot quite a bit.

This is the first fiction book I have read in years and I really enjoyed it. I rated it on the lower end just because I don't have much to compare it to and because overall I get more enjoyment from non fiction books that I can learn real world knowledge from. But having said that I read this book very quickly because it did keep my interest piqued throughout the entire book. I also really enjoyed the multiple storylines throughout the book and they were easy to keep track of.
