4.5 starsSo it’s safe to say that I pretty much loved everything about this book. I was completely caught off guard! I was expecting something more… teen, if that makes any sense. This is a book that can be enjoyed by teens and adults alike. The writing style is very much a mature historical fiction, though completely clean, without sex or bad language.The story, at its core, isn’t overly complicated. Selah Kilbrid has some, shall we say, unique gifts that she is forced to hide. One of the risks of living in the 1700s is being declared a witch and burned at the stake. From there, the story gets more complicated. I loved all of the details, and how Edgren set the stage right from page one. There is a certain romantic touch to the story, but it’s more mystery. I honestly couldn’t figure out who dunnit (and I’m not an easy person to stump!) and I was constantly running over the facts, trying to work it out. Everyone is a suspect! ;)The setting was very well built, and I imagine that Edgren did a lot of research to put it all together so seamlessly. The dialogue, the costumes, and even the scents and sounds; it all played a part it painting the scene. I devoured this story as quickly as possible. But then it was over… a sequel would very much be appreciated. There’s isn’t a cliffhanger, and I suppose a sequel isn’t necessary… but I want it! The story could easily become much larger! I’m not finished with these characters yet! More please!A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
