Brilliant!! 3 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I absolutely loved Witherstone; very well written, with good depth of characters. The heroine is very likeable and realistic, and the plot is really mysterious and believable - resulting in a huge amount of anticipation.
It's genuinely 'unputdownable', and was still circling through my mind long after I'd finished. Don't be put off by the slow-ish beginning - it only builds up suspense before the multiple climaxes later in the book, and gives the characters more detail.
I'd definitely recommend it to anyone - it's a fantastic book, and well worth the buy :)

heart racing 21 Oct 2011
By cee
Format:Paperback
It took a while for me to get into this book but this was possibly down to me choosing the wrong time to start reading it, once I had got into it I could not put it down, there were moments in the book where my heart was racing with both nerves and excitement. An absolutely brilliant book and I really can't wait for the next instalment.

A Gripping Read 1 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a brilliant read which drew me in and kept me hooked from start to finish. The story is told through the eyes of Eppie as she struggles to save her family from an unknown enemy. The story is full of convincing historical detail and I found myself transported back to a seventeenth century England immersed in superstition, magic and dark political forces. I don't usually read books which include superstition and witchcraft but this is a story about real life struggle. The plot is gripping and the narrative carries the story with pace, creating a feeling of deep unease as Eppie uncovers the truth.....I can't wait for the next instalment.
