I really enjoyed this book. A totally different take on the Salem witch trials with a big dose of present time romance and action. It kept me interested from the very start. ]]>

Not quite as good as the first book in this trilogy, but still great fluff that let me escape from my college work for a few hours. Ready to finish the last in the trilogy so I can find out how everything ends. ]]>
My first one star is The Last Dickens A Novel by Matthew Pearl. I made it through Chapter 3 and had to quit. It wasn't badly written, I just couldn't get into this book. I really wanted to like it because I have The Dante Club A Novel sitting on my shelf to be read and now I don't have any desire to start it. ]]>
