The Witchery
The Witchery | S. Isabelle
3 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A bewitching debut by S. Isabelle, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Zoraida Crdova, and Maggie Stiefvater! THE HAUNTING SEASON IS HERE AND THE WOLVES ARE AWAKE. Haelsford, Florida is a Hellmouth. Or at least, that's what Logan, a new witch struggling to control her powers, thinks as she arrives to begin the new school year at Mesmortes Coven Academy. She is immediately taken under the wing of the infamous Red Three. Iris, a deathwitch, who wants nothing more than to break the town's curse; Thalia, the talented greenwitch, is on the run from her religious family and a past that still haunts her; and Jailah is one of the most powerful witches at the academy but her thirst for power may lead her down a dark path. With the Haunting Season approaching, Wolves will soon rise from the swamp to kill and the humans and witches must work together to survive the yearly onslaught. And the stakes couldn't be higher as two boys from the Hammersmitt School prepare to make their first sacrifices to the witches in exchange for protection. But old dangers lie in wait and the cost to break the curse may be greater than any witch or human could ever know.

The pacing was weird, the six different POVs weren‘t entirely necessary, and there was a severe lack of details (important and not), but I enjoyed the book enough that I‘m looking forward to the sequel in September. Also: Black, sapphic witches! Love to see it.

3.5/5 stars, brought this book to a July 4th cookout and a cousin asked me if it was the Bible. 🤨

A group of teen witches try to end a centuries old curse on their town with the help of a new girl at their school, but they're meddling with dark and ancient magic that could either save them or destroy them. I enjoyed this just fine, but I think it got lost in all the POV characters and the stakes didn't feel as heightened as they should've. Loved seeing literal Black girl magic though and will be interested to see if this becomes a series.

IndoorDame Too bad, I love the cover art! I wish the story was as fierce. 2y
rachelsbrittain @IndoorDame I know I was really hoping for something spectacular! 2y

Book 136🎧 2.5⭐️

As an audiobook, it didn‘t grip me😕 and it felt a bit long for the story.

The end hook makes me think there could be a 2nd and it sounds more spooky! So I‘d give it another shot🙃
