This book was very timely and really spoke to me! After reading the authors Lula Dean's Little Library Of Banned Books I knew this was a go to author for me and I was right, I loved this book just as much and will be recommending it to everyone!

The Women of Wild Hill is sharp and beautiful. It's a tale of wild magic wrapped in female rage, and a multi-generational tale that goes back and forth through time. Love and pain and prophecy guide and direct the lives of each of the characters, and they each use the gifts of their bloodline in different ways.

Separated after a family trauma, sisters Brigid and Phoebe have abandoned Wild Hill, along with Phoebe's daughter Sibyl. The Old One is calling them back to Wild Hill now, whether they like it or not. She has a purpose and a destiny for them - she gave them their gifts for a reason, after all.

This book is going to be released on October 7, which makes it PERFECT for the spooky season. Witchy women and bold magic, oh and %#$^ the patriarchy, am I right?

So yeah, I adored this. Please take a look. (Also, family ghost! I love family ghosts.) Thank you Netgalley and William Morrow for giving me the chance to read this ARC! It was *chef's kiss*.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for The Women of Wild Hill by Kirsten Miller.

This was the actual definition of feminine rage, sisterhood, and toppling the patriarchy. If you're anticapitalism, pro witches, and love a haunted house, this one is for you. Kirsten Miller excelled at writing both cozy fantasy and intense murder scenes within the same chapter and I applaud that. I think this book did a really good job depicting family relationship, especially between both mothers and daughters and sisters. I loved the history of Wild Hill and the foreshadowing we get to see through going back in the past. This is the kind of book you could reread 100 times and pick up on little things sprinkled throughout that make the story ten times better.

My only real problem with this book was the constant skipping around between time periods. And while I did absolutely love all the parallels between each generation of sisters and daughters, some of the lines got confusing. The characters were all distinct enough and had traits that shined through, it was more the family tree that kept getting messed up in my head.

Overall, four stars and would absolutely read another book by Kirsten Miller!

Another clever and laugh out loud novel by Kristen Miller! This is a contemporary satire centered on generations of witches who live on Wild Hill. This remarkable family of women are able to make their mark on the world in a unique way. Fans of "Lulu Dean" will devour this newest book, appreciating much of the same politically based humor. Thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for this ARC.

I was so excited to be able to read this ARC. Kristen Miller is one of my favorite authors. I have absolutely devoured her previous books and this one was no different. It’s giving strong feminine energy and I am HERE for it. Don’t sleep on this.

*The Women of Wild Hill* by Kirsten Miller is bold, atmospheric, and brimming with fierce energy. Miller creates a vivid world where the setting itself feels alive—full of secrets, resilience, and a touch of wild magic. Her characters are richly drawn and unapologetically complex, making it easy to get swept up in their lives and the mysteries that surround them. The writing is immersive and layered, pulling you in with every sentence.

What I loved most is how the story balances strength and vulnerability, showing the many ways women hold their ground, protect what matters, and forge unexpected bonds. It’s empowering without ever feeling heavy-handed, and the pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish. This is one of those rare reads that feels both deeply entertaining and quietly powerful.

Total page turner! I didn’t finish this author’s other recent book, but I really enjoyed this one. Just enough world building to create an interesting atmosphere, but not so much that you get bogged down in details. Probably more murderous than my average read, but I liked it. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this free eARC.

I loved Kirsten Miller's last book (Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books), so I was especially excited to give this one a go! The Women of Wild Hill did not disappoint! I adore Miller’s sharp, engaging, and accessible writing style. She writes with the perfect tone, and creates relatable characters that come alive on the page. A clear 5-star read for me! Thank you, NetGalley!

This story was absolutely amazing. I loved loved loved the generational powers, and that we got to see Harriet from The Change again. I love the female power and the belief in ourselves to change the world and go back to natural and feminine roots. No notes, never any criticism. I absolutely loved it.

I am usually not one that enjoys fantasy books, but "The Women of Wild Hill" was a fantastic read.

The characters were well-developed and super unique. I enjoyed the strong female aspect as well as all the family sagas. The different character stories made it feel like I was reading a bunch of short stories, all roped into one. It was fun and weaved together nicely. There were so many interwoven themes throughout the book.

I highly recommend picking this one up for the witching season when it is released on October 7th!

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Best book I’ve read all year. I’m having a hard time reviewing it because I don’t like spoilers and all I want to do is talk and gush about every part of it.

The writing is phenomenal. The way in which Kirsten weaves this story really is remarkable. She incorporates generations of women, and gives all of their stories their due without dragging attention away at the wrong moment. It both spans time, but focuses the reader on the important things being said and done in the present. Everything is so interrelated and balanced. You never get the whiplash time jumps can give you in books.

The characters are beautiful. Every. Last. One. The entire cast of characters are important to the story. The smallest of supporting characters are memorable, and these witches are awesome. This book is a grimoire full of knowledge and advice. Grab it. Read it. I loved it!

I’ve read Miller’s “The Change” and loved the feminist “crone” rage it employed. In “The Women of Wild Hill” the author cranked that dial up to “Eleven”. Here we have age-old witches but with lots of power & agency. From the sisterly bonding, to communing with ghosts, honing their unique gifts & natural talents, to taking out billionaire predator men who are decimating our planet, and exposing Nazi’s in hiding, the simmering rage just explodes off the page and I loved it. I did, however, think the ending was not strong & I really wish that it had been a bit different. All in all, a great read, especially for the coming spooky season. My thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for my advance reader’s copy - a true pleasure to read & review this title.

The Women of Wild Hill by Kirsten Miller follows the story of a line of witches starting from when the resident ghost landed in the New World 400 years ago. Each generation is born with specific gifts and become more powerful, all culminating in a mission that the Old One has set out for them from the beginning.

This book was very cathartic for me. As each woman grapples with her identity and place in the world, she is often blocked by men and the societal conventions that have been set up to favor men. These women push back against the worst and get their revenge, although there is always a huge sacrifice to do so. I could feel their rage and wanted to celebrate when they took out the offender.

The women in the family are all well fleshed out with both some light and darkness, and their individual personalities come through. They are intelligent, often stubborn and frequently funny. I absolutely loved that the talents that the last woman in the family (The Third) are more subtle and maybe run-of-the-mill—cooking, community building, mediating—but are the ones that are required. Along with the fearlessness, persistence, and ferociousness each of these women have.

Although the structure of the storytelling made sense toward the end, it was a little frustrating to be introduced to the current characters but then just have a bunch of chapters dealing with the ancestors for seemingly little reason. As well, the main mission of the family in the present day part seems pretty rushed after the slow build up of stories. I’m also a little puzzled about the other women who show up late in the book with little explanation.

Overall, I really enjoyed this feminist, I’m-sick-of-the-patriarchy, principled fury book with a lot of magic and heart. Fans of Alice Hoffman, Sarrah Addison, and Naomi Alderson may like this.

Thank you to William Morrow and NetGalley for the free eARC.

If you’ve ever read a Kirsten Miller book (and I’ve read them all), then you already know that this author is the Queen of cautionary tales. She is here to teach humanity a thing or two about itself, wrapped up in a delightful tale that features women behaving badly, except are they? The Women of Wild Hill have come to unleash all of the feminist rage that has built up over the last decade in this country. This multi-generational tale is deeply satisfying, as it traces the complex mother/daughter/ sister/aunt relationships that are intertwined in the Duncan family, and how they have come together in unique ways to return balance to an unbalanced world- a world that is ruled by men. If you’ve ever wanted to see billionaires get their just desserts, then this brilliant book is for you. I see what you’re doing, Kirsten Miller, and I for one am HERE FOR IT. Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley for my gifted ARC.

I wanted to love this book as a huge fan of Miller's previous two books however it didn't really work for me. I thought the structure of the book was difficult to follow with a non linear timeline and constant changing of narrator. Another politically charged story with perspectives that tackle current state of affairs with climate change, misogyny, patriarchy, and oligarchy playing a key role in the book. There is an element of magical realism with ghosts in the story. The story was slow to develop and never worked for me.

I found this book to be a captivating read, with a narrative that remained engaging throughout and featured several memorable moments, ultimately providing a satisfying reading experience.

I found this book to be an enjoyable read. The story kept me engaged from start to finish and had some moments that really stood out. Overall, it offered an entertaining reading experience.

Man it would be nice if this book were prophetic! I felt this was a relatively quick read with some enjoyable parts, but I didn’t really feel connected to any of the characters. The ending saved it for sure for me. So as an outcome, hell yeah! As a book, it was just okay.

I love the premise behind this book--three women, Brigid, Phoebe and Sybil (who doesn't know about her magical ancestry) return to their family land at Wild Hill to fulfill an old prophecy. The writing was strong and descriptive, but I struggled with the shifting timelines and often lost my momentum trying to keep up with the fast pace and shifting points of view. I love strong female characters, and I did appreciate some of the messages about standing up to the patriarchy and fighting climate change, but ultimately the feminine rage was a little too strong for me. Although I think this book will land well with may readers, a more subtle, less heavy-handed approach would have worked better for me. 2.75 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the advanced digital copy of this book.

I enjoyed getting to know each of the women in "The Women of Wild Hill" and how their lives intertwined. The writing and storytelling was captivating throughout making this book hard to put down. Ultimately, the tone was too agenda-heavy for my liking.

Thank you to William Morrow for providing this ARC for attendees of #BookHuddle's Victoria, Canada retreat.
