Review

What could be more fun than a summer on Long Island? A summer on Long Island with witches, of course. Smart, stylish, and just a bit wicked, the witches in Melissa de la Cruz's Witches of the East series manage to be both thoroughly modern and delightfully mythic. (Deborah Harkness, New York Times Bestselling Author Of A Discovery Of Witches And Shadow Of Night )

3.0 out of 5 stars So - so read 19 Sep 2011
By free2shop2003 VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This book captured my attention however I found the book to be quite different to the description. The writing style was quite slow and when you thought it was finally becoming a bit more actioned packed, BAM, slowed right down again. The ending was very anti-climatic and has put me off anymore of this series.

This book is ideal for Melissa de la Cruz's fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming, Gentle and Enjoyable Story 30 April 2012
By Brett H TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Despite the occasional murder and mayhem thrown in Witches of East End is a gentle and charming tale. Joanna Beauchamp and her two daughters, Freya and Ingrid, reside in the pleasant town of North Hampton. However, the three of them are witches and just happen to be immortal. For hundreds of years they have refrained from using their powers as a result of a judgement by `the council' which has forbidden use of magic if they want to reside on earth.

The three of them start to question their self control and each of them starts to use their powers in their own way. These differ between each of them, and they first start off in a small way, and then in a more serious fashion. At the same time rather sinister things are happening, both in North Hampton and in the wider world. Witches of East End sounds a lot like Witches of Eastwick, but in fact, this is quite an original tale and, apart from the title, is quite different to the latter.

This tale works well on various levels. It is an interesting supernatural story, and provided the reader can suspend disbelief it is fairly easy to relate to the main characters. There is a fair amount of romance as Freya is drawn to two brothers, Bran and Killian, and there is a strong hint that there is more to this pair than meets the eye. Ingrid, despite being portrayed as a rather staid librarian is far from a retiring flower and has romantic interests of her own.

To my mind I was very on board with the story as I have outlined above and was really enjoying it. However, towards the end, this tale assumes much wider dimensions (do not want to give any spoilers, you will see what I mean if you read it). Personally this was not an extension which I welcomed as credibility was stretched considerably further. However, overall this was a book I enjoyed, and one which I read very quickly, in part because it is quite short. I will certainly be looking out for Serpent's Kiss, which I understand will be the sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Read 8 Dec 2011
By Emma
Format:Paperback
When I saw that this was in a pile of books one of my friends was lending me I was excited because I had not read any books by Melissa de la Cruz and this would be my first. It took a little looking on Goodreads for me to find out that this is actually the UK title for Witches of the East End which had been on my TBR list for ages, then started my happy dance!

This book is slightly older than the YA books I have been reading recently, but I loved it anyway. In the small town of East Hampton Freya, Ingrid and Joanna Beauchamp (even their family name is great!!) try to live a normal magic free life. Over the course of the book however the sisters Freya and Ingrid start to use magic more and more. Before we know it the police are looking for a scapegoat to some crimes and the fingers are beginning to point to the sisters.

This book was atmospheric and took a while to describe the town and the people who lived there. We are pulled into this small town and the rich descriptions bathes us in a feeling that we are actually there. This also gave some depth to the characters and allowed us a proper glimpse into how they lived their lives without magic. I really liked Ingrid as a character, even though she is the more sensible of the two characters in life, she is the one who is more willing to break the rules.

What I liked the best about this book was the mythology behind the Beauchamp Family, what happens when one of the sisters dies or is killed, where they came from and why they can't use their magic. I thought this was all well thought through and left me wanting to know much more. I wish this book had looked at this for longer, but it did not really come in until the end of the book, presumably as a build up to the next in the series.

I really enjoyed this book. It took a little while to get into the meat of the story as there was a lot of setting the scene going on at the start. Once I was into it though I found it hugely entertaining and I did not want to put it down. I wanted to know more about the witches and their history, so I will definitely be picking up book 2 (also because the cliff hanger at the end has left me with many more questions!!).
