The Book of Witching
By C. J. CookePublisher Description
A mother must fight for her daughter’s life in this fierce and haunting tale of witchcraft and revenge from the author of A Haunting in the Arctic.
Clem gets a call that is every mother’s worst nightmare. Her nineteen-year-old daughter Erin is unconscious in the hospital after a hiking trip with her friends on the remote Orkney Islands that met a horrifying end, leaving her boyfriend dead and her best friend missing. When Erin wakes, she doesn’t recognize her mother. And she doesn’t answer to her name, but insists she is someone named Nyx.
Clem travels the site of her daughter’s accident, determined to find out what happened to her. The answer may lie in a dark secret in the history of the Orkneys: a woman wrongly accused of witchcraft and murder four centuries ago. Clem begins to wonder if Erin’s strange behavior is a symptom of a broken mind, or the effects of an ancient curse?

“This book is a true horror. It isn’t scary, it’s horrifying. It’s sad and it’s painful to read. But this book is amazing. I have such deep appreciation for the author, for finding the records of a woman whose life was destroyed by patriarchal systems and greed, and giving us an idea of what her experiences might have been like. I appreciate the way the author illustrated how modern day cults appropriate folkish and pagan practices and use them to manipulate people. More than anything, I appreciate this author for writing something that made me get out of bed to lay down with my daughter and hold her tight.”Child abuseChild lossDeathMurderMemorableClever plottingSatisfying conclusionWell-structuredHistorical
