I cannot resist a book with witches in it. This is a book about two sisters witnessing the death of their mother so they set out to get revenge. It was a quick short read for me but I also felt it was simplistic at times. The characters felt a little young and the language used was simplistic. I didn’t enjoy the writing style, it didn’t work for me but it will for some. The overall story was okay but the pacing was off in places.

Witch is a sharp, unflinching tale of family and revenge. While I didn't love the writing style, I could see it was beautifully written. Not really a book I was in the target audience for, as it turned out, this was still a good read.

You say witches, I say sign me up..

It's a tale of two young sisters who witness their mother's murder and set out on path to avenge her death. Younger sister is only 9 years of age so the main character conveniently leaves her with an aunt which was also their mother's dying wish.

Needless to say it's not a smooth road to find the ones guilty..

For some reason the writing style didn't work for me at all. Maybe it was the character's age but I found the language very simplistic.

Story itself was alright but I felt like some transitions weren't done well and it didn't progress smoothly.

That said this book is a quick read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes tales of witchcraft and sisterhood

Witch tells of the story of two sisters, Evey and Dilly.

It's a powerful tale of revenge, family and relationships, Finbar Hawkins richly describes his characters and as such, you picture them in your mind as Evey and Dilly's story is played out on the page.

The theme of revenge is present all of the way through and it's only towards the end of the tale that we find out the true nature of the scrying stone and Evey's powers..

Very well written and I look forward to reading more of Hawkins' work.

Despite the fact that it’s the 21st century women have yet to be given all the right and rewards awarded to men at birth. Hawkins takes readers back to the 17th century, when being a woman who had opinions, medical knowledge, or who just dared to speak up, were cast as witches and summarily executed. Evey’s mother has been killed by witch hunters, and although she knows she must care for her little sister, in her heart burns a hot coal of rage. A desire for revenge and an end to the hysteria are foremost on Evey’s mind. Can she care for her blood sister and fulfill her destiny to her sisters of magick?
