The Return of the Witch
The Return of the Witch
by Paula Brackston
Average is generous. (1/21/2016)
Upon realizing this book was a sequel--the title was my first clue--I promptly managed to get my hands on The Witch's Daughter and two other of Brackston's books and read them in preparation for my review. Though none were grand reads, TWD was intriguing and kept my …more

The House Girl
The House Girl
by Tara Conklin
A memorable journey (11/10/2012)
