My name is Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, and my age is three hundred and eighty-four years. Each new settlement asks for a new journal, and so this Book of Shadows begins...
In the spring of 1628, the Witchfinder of Wessex finds himself a true Witch. As Bess Hawksmith watches her mother swing from the Hanging Tree she knows that only one man can save her from the same fate at the hands of the panicked mob: the Warlock Gideon Masters, and his Book of Shadows. Secluded at his cottage in the woods, Gideon instructs Bess in the Craft, awakening formidable powers she didn't know she had and making her immortal. She couldn't have foreseen that even now, centuries later, he would be hunting her across time, determined to claim payment for saving her life.
In present-day England, Elizabeth has built a quiet life for herself, tending her garden and selling herbs and oils at the local farmers' market. But her solitude abruptly ends when a teenage girl called Tegan starts hanging around. Against her better judgment, Elizabeth begins teaching Tegan the ways of the Hedge Witch, in the process awakening memoriesâ??and demonsâ??long thought forgotten.
Part historical romance, part modern fantasy, Paula Brackston's New York Times bestseller, The Witch's Daughter, is a fresh, compelling take on the magical, yet dangerous world of Witches. Readers will long remember the fiercely independent heroine who survives plagues, wars, and the heartbreak that comes with immortality to remain true to herself, and protect the protégé she comes to

Felt it was missing something ( )

Looks like Paula Brackston has a new fan. ( )

Overall, it was a satisfying read. I loved the mix of historical fiction and fantasy. 3.8 Stars
It started out slow and a little confusing, but it picked up soon enough. I felt intrigued by Bess's story. My heart ached for her. Tegan is a complicated character, and I enjoyed her growth. Bess and Tegan's relationship is incredibly touching. ( )

This historical fantasy novel based on a fictional character Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, was both interesting and exceptionally slow moving. After Elizabeth's mother is hanged for being a witch, she finds herself with similiar powers, while at the mercy of another named Gideon for training. Bess flees after discovering Gideon's true nature and many years later befriends a young teenager who she suspects might have magical powers. Throughout all this Gideon pursues Bess, putting everyone she comes in contact with at risk.

The novel is well written but overly detailed, which slows the pacing of the story. Still, I overall liked the book and thought the audio narration was well done. ( )

I enjoyed the modern portions of the book, her house and the garden were the best... but I skimmed most of the past lives portion. The end felt rushed and I haven't decided if I care enough to read the second book. I did like the idea of the story but it didn't hold me as much as I had hoped. ( )
