Review: The Silver Witch by Paula Brackston

April 21, 2015April 7, 2015by The Lit Bitch7 Comments

On the banks of an ancient lake, Tilda Fordwells, moves into the cottage hoping to move on with her life.

Her husband, Mat, was killed suddenly in a car accident and Tilda vows to live in the home that they had bought just before his death.

It’s been a year since Mat dies, and Tilda is still struggling to move past it but hopes that moving into the house by the lake will be just what she needs.

Well things aren’t quite going as planned. Being at the lake seems to have awakened something in Tilda, animals seems to be flocking to her, the lights in her house go out, and she’s been having ‘visions’ from the past.

Review: Reluctantly Charmed by Ellie O’Neill

April 15, 2015April 13, 2015by The Lit Bitch1 Comment

Ireland has got to be the absolute perfect setting for this book! I can’t think of a better location for a book about fairies and magic, not to mention I literally want to runaway to Ireland now and live there forever!

Kate McDaid has made a New Year’s resolution….she plans on revitalizing her career and love life. Kate’s life is pretty normal….she lives in Dublin and works as a copywriter at an advertising agency and rides her bike to work…..all pretty normal, until one day her life is about to change in a big way!

On her 26th birthday, she is summonsed to a lawyers office where a solicitor informs her that she is the recipient of an inheritance, left to her by a relative who died 130 years ago. All she has to do is post some letters once a week for seven weeks.

No problem right? Wrong. Kate is dying to know what these letters say….so she agrees to the pact and opens one. In that first letter she finds that it’s a passionate plea to reconnect with the long-forgotten fairies of Irish folklore.

Publication Date: March 17, 2015
Atria Books
Formats: Hardcover, Ebook
Pages: 384

Genre: Historical Mystery

READ AN EXCERPT.

Possession. Power. Passion. International bestselling novelist M.J. Rose creates her most provocative and magical spellbinder yet in this erotic, gothic novel set against the lavish spectacle of 1890s Belle Époque Paris.

Sandrine Salome runs away to her grandmother’s Parisian mansion to escape her dangerous husband, but what she finds is even more menacing. The house, famous for its lavish art collection and elegant salons, is mysteriously closed up. Although her grandmother insits it’s dangerous for Sandrine to visit, she defies her and meets Julien Duplessi, a mesmerizing young architect. Together they explore the hidden night world of Paris, the forbidden occult underground and Sandrine’s deepest desires.

Among the bohemians and the demi-monde, Sandrine discovers her erotic nature as a lover and painter. Then darker influences threaten – her cold and cruel husband is tracking her down and something sinister is taking hold, changing Sandrine, altering her. She’s become possessed by La Lune: A witch, a legend and a sixteenth-century courtesan, who opens up her life to a darkness that may become a gift or a curse.

This is Sandrine’s “wild night of the soul,” her odyssey in the magnificent city of Paris, of art, love and witchery.
