panThis book was horrible. It was sloppy and rushed at the end; there were too many things that didn‘t go together. Voodoo shared with a white woman, astral projection, demons, St. Teresa of Avila, and Salem. You can‘t throw all that together and expect it to work! A really bad quick read.
pickI liked it—it‘s an entertaining story speculating about the inspiration for Hawthorne‘s The Scarlett Letter & if you go in wondering, “what if?!?” there‘s a lot to like. This even though you know what the end must inevitably be even though it‘s clear the Isobel Gamble, whose story it is, has no idea. The legacy of the Salem witch trials looms large over this story about a young woman who refuses to conform or be dependent on the men in her life.
Started this one last night and am enjoying it so far.

My work staff gifted me a more than generous $100 Barnes & Noble gift certificate as a get well gift. Obviously, they know me well! Visited the store today and left with four books. 💛📚❤️🩹
so-soThis was a little slow for me. It was an interesting retelling and spin on the original story but it just felt like it drug on for me. After the first half, I had a hard time staying interested. It just didn‘t have a whole lot going on for most of the book. Great writing and interesting story, just not my favorite.
