Rating: 5 out of 5

Based in the English witch trials of the 17th Century, which are similar to the Salem witch trials, this novel paints an incredibly accurate and realistic portrayal of the times, along with the impossibility of proving you were not a witch.  After all, if you are thrown in a lake, and float (which is natural) you are a witch.  If you sink, you aren't a witch, but you probably have also drowned.  Matthew Hopkins, a historical witch hunter from England, is portrayed with many facets - not just the black villain - so you see in his character the shades of grey, along with mental torment that would drive a person to do such great and unspeakable evil to defenseless women.  Pippa, the main female character, is a delightful young lady who enchanted me throughout the whole book.  She is a strong female character, and written so brilliantly that it is next to impossible to put the book down, because you want to see where she will go next.Morgana Galloway is a young author, but if Suffer a Witch is any indication, we will be seeing many more delightful and enchanting novels from her in the future.  I look forward to reading her again!I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it, and it was a privilege and honor to do so.
