Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft
This extraordinary collection of fifteen stories celebrates witches using their power and claiming their destinies.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN A WITCH WHO BELIEVES IN HERSELF.
Women accused of witchcraft. Fearsome girls with arcane knowledge. Toil & Trouble features fifteen stories of girls embracing their power, reclaiming their destinies, and using their magic to create, to curse, to cure, to kill...and to live.
A young witch uses social media to connect with her astrology clients--and with a NASA-loving girl as cute as she is skeptical. A priestess of death investigates a ritualized murder. A bruja who cures lovesickness might need the remedy herself when she falls for an altar boy. A theater production is turned upside down by a visiting churel. A water witch uses her magic to survive the soldiers who have invaded her desert oasis. And in the near future, a group of girls accused of witchcraft must find their collective power...and destroy their captors.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A TEEN WITCH!

I received an electronic copy of this book to review in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.
I was intrigued by the synopsis of the book and how beautiful the cover is! I’ve been reading and researching more so than practicing Wicca for over a year now and have really grown a strong connection to it and those that follow the Craft, so that was another draw to this book. I wanted to read about true and real and even if it’s fabricated, realistic stories about real people who have similar interests to me. This book was wonderful! I really enjoyed each individual story for many different reasons and of course as you read each story and follow the writing style of each author, some are better described and illustrated than others, but I appreciated each story within. I absolutely adored the fact that terminology and practices that I have grown to become familiar with were used in these stories and explored in a real-world application so that it wasn’t something that I was just reading about, but that a lot of other people were participating in. I actually would love to go back through and read the book in its entirety again. There are stories for every kind of witch and non-witch that people can draw some inspiration from as well as the pain, happiness, light, and darkness from each story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this advanced copy.
