The Witch of Tin Mountain

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.

Content warning for violence, murder, manipulation, attempted murder, abuse, substance misuse, and related topics. I liked pieces of this novel, but others didn't work for me. I liked that we got the two timelines, but the voices were too similar. I liked the two narrators, but the male characters in this novel (except Deidre's dad) were so one-dimensional. I loved the magic in this novel, it's an incredible system. I wanted more from the setting, I thought it could have taken the suspense up to spend more time in the woods.
