Five "Haunting Hallows Eve" Stars
Wow! This was a excellent spooky historical haunted tale!
A small taste of what lies within:
Alice Jacobs is mystified when her husband Samuel goes on a trip searching for the truth of a story about the Salem witches. Alice decides to try and track him down so she heads to Salem along with her young daughter, Abigail. As she begins to try and find out what happened to her husband, her daughter, Abigail disappears along with some other children disappearances. It seems that the town believes that a witch is responsible for snatching the children and they will do anything to get them back.
Where did Abigail disappear off to? What or Who is really haunting the town of Salem? What happened to Alice's husband Samuel? Why does the town think a witch is involved?
No spoilers here as you will just need to read the book!
That is about all I can give on a small taste as you will need to read my full review on Goodreads.
Thoughts:
This was a new author to me and I grabbed this book last year around Halloween time, but never stepped into the story until now. What an awesome historical haunting that is wrapped around the ghosts of the witches of Salem as the story is set a hundred years after the witch trials. The author's writing style just flows along and pulls you right into the story.
I don't normally read a lot of historical haunting stories, but something about this book just seemed to grab a hold of me and as I became involved with delving into the storyline, the author just whisked me away to the historical setting of Salem.
There are a few things that happen right away too in the story so it never drags along - the pace is perfect and there is also tons of mystery steeped within the storyline as it makes you feel that you want to help solve the mystery of what is happening within the town.
There is another book in this series, so I will be looking forward to what this author has in store for the next book.
