Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight upcoming releases we are excited about that we have yet to read.
The book I’m waiting on this week is…
I requested this book a couple months ago, but recently I found out I’ll be reading this with a group of blogger friends, and now I really can’t wait to read it! Doesn’t it sound like the perfect bewitching read for fall?
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Two centuries after the Salem witch trials, there’s still one witch left in Massachusetts. But she doesn’t even know it.
Take this as a warning: if you are not able or willing to control yourself, it will not only be you who suffers the consequences, but those around you, as well.
New Oldbury, 1821
In the wake of a scandal, the Montrose family and their three daughters—Catherine, Lydia and Emeline—flee Boston for their new country home, Willow Hall.
The estate seems sleepy and idyllic. But a subtle menace creeps into the atmosphere, remnants of a dark history that call to Lydia, and to the youngest, Emeline.
All three daughters will be irrevocably changed by what follows, but none more than Lydia, who must draw on a power she never knew she possessed if she wants to protect those she loves. For Willow Hall’s secrets will rise, in the end…
“Hester Fox’s THE WITCH OF WILLOW HALL offers a fascinating location, a great plot with history and twists, and characters that live and breathe. I love the novel, and will be looking forward to all new works by this talented author!” –Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling author
“Beautifully written, skillfully plotted, and filled with quiet terror, readers will devour this absorbing, Gothic tale of romance and suspense. Perfect for fans of Simone St James and Kate Morton.” — Anna Lee Huber, the national bestselling author of the historical Lady Darby Mysteries
“Beautifully written, with an intriguing plot full of suspense and mystery, The Witch of Willow Hall will cast a spell over every reader.” — Lisa Hall, author of Tell Me No Lies and Between You and Me
“I was entranced by this intriguing and spellbinding novel with its messages of love and loyalty and being true to who you really are. I hope Hester Fox goes on to write many more such novels–I for one will be buying them.” — Kathleen McGurl, author of The Girl from Ballymor
“With its sense of creeping menace and chilling undertones, this compelling story had me gripped from the first page. The vividly drawn characters cast their spell so convincingly, I couldn’t stop reading until I discovered what happened to them. A wonderful debut novel.”–Linda Finlay, author of The Flower Seller

I want to read this one so much, but I’m just going to wait and buy it! I had to stop myself from requesting it so many times by reminding myself how many ARCs that I had in Oct, lol! I hope you enjoy it! It’s the perfect fall read! ❤

It is perfect! I know! We still have our pool open and probably will throughout October. And I’m sure if you’re like me, you’ve worn short sleeves and flip flops in Dec. Crazy NC weather. 😅 Thanks! I put a hold on it at the library. If it’s really good then I’ll buy it. ❤

I am so excited to hear your thoughts on this one, Jennifer!! I seem to be reading a lot of witch books lately (well two this month, but that’s a lot for *me* :D) and a gothic historical paranormal witch story sounds SUPER interesting! Also, I took a small break from blog hopping this week, so get ready for a barrage of comments! 😀

Hehe I’m honoured to be your favourite Kathy! Though now I have to wonder how many Kathys you know! 😛 And it’s been raining a lot here so I haven’t really gotten a chance to experience fall either! Fingers crossed for some nice, cool, non-rainy October for us both 😀
