This was a terrific story and now I cannot wait to read The Secret History of Witches by this same author. This story jumps between the 1930’s and 1940’s but it was never confusing. The story touches on witches and aliens and WWII. Barrie Anne is a loving young lady, who makes a tragic mistake by marrying Will. Her Aunt Charlotte has basically raised her after the death of her parents. Charlotte “knows” things and warned Barrie Anne about Will, but she would not listen, she was in love. I really loved the story and the characters. Whenever I thought the story would go one way, there was a little twist and it went another. This book was so beautifully done and I really, really hope there will be another.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This story had potential. The constant description of the sky, the land, etc, but worse, the constant mention of a character's bad habit ruined the story for me. It became noticeable and then it became frustrating. I think author Morgan had talent and is able to write beautifully, however, she just needs some awareness of over-usage of description.

I was disappointed in The Witche's Kind. The story talked much more about aliens instead of witches. It doesn't make sense to me. Also, I disliked the characterization. I felt like this story just went in the wrong direction from the start. It's an okay read but not great. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

This book was not for me, I thought it was going to be about witches then got aliens.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher

This book takes place in the 1940s when women had different expectations from others about them and about themselves. Barrie was raised by her aunt, after her parents died. Charlotte is an enigma at that time period. She is an intelligent, unmarried woman who gave up her friends and love to go care for her niece. Barrie felt the pull of conventionality and suffered for it some. The characters in this book seem very unemotional and stoic, which is likely significant of that time period. I found myself drawn to tears when a neighbor exhibited such kindness. A lovely book with a touch of whimsy!

My first book from this author. Excellent character development, interesting family interaction. Subtle lesbian theme, hope future books do not concentrate on that.

Thank you to Redhook Books, for the arc of this book.

The Witch's Kind is about a young woman named Barrie Anne Blythe and her aunt Charlotte. Strange things are happening and soon a baby is found by their dog. With Barrie's long-lost husband coming back to town, Barrie and Charlotte must decide how far they will go to protect themselves and this newly found baby.

Barrie is an interesting character because a lot happens to her, especially when it comes to her marriage. The author does a good job of bringing the past and present together by having the chapters be one or the other. It adds depth to the characters and makes you interested in their lives.

The plot was not what I was expecting. There was more talk about aliens than witches and that was a letdown for me since the title has the word witch in it. The only discussion was about water witches and they would have premonitions every once and a while. Excluding the witches part, the plot did keep me invested when it came to her estranged husband. There was a few loose ends that weren't tied up, especially with the mysterious child and government officials which I would have liked to read more about.

Overall, it was a decent read and if you like strange happenings and strong females this book is for you!
