This book was a paranormal young adult, long lost sisters, with a touch of romance read.
It was an okay read for me. I would have liked the characters to have a little more depth to them to really bring it home.

I received a copy of The Witches of BlackBrook to review and really chose it because of its awesome cover I want that dress so bad! I am glad that I choose to review it, I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would.

Likes:

I loved the whole span of time in the books. The sisters were crushed to be separated and have to find each other through series of lives. They grew up in Salem during the heat of the witch trials. Even though they tried to help people, they still are seen as harmful.

Magic is always fun in books. It is fun to imagine what it would be like if you had powers.

I really liked the location on the book, that upper northeast corner of the country is somewhere I have not been able to visit much and I would love to travel there more.

I loved the family relationships in the book. No matter what the era, the sisters desperately search for each other. I love that. Good, strong family values in books always make me smile.

There was a little bit of romance in the book, and it was good. It wasn’t too much but it was timeless. I thought it fell well within the rest of the story.

I am excited to see where the rest of the series goes! I enjoyed the writing, it was a fast, easy read.

Gripes:

Nothing major.

Loved the twist in this book.

From the beginning, I knew something was wrong. I enjoyed the back and forth in the timeline.

I've always been interested in the Salem Witch Trials. You just can't help but wonder how people were able to go along with such a vicious and outlandish witch hunt.

Special Thanks To Xpresso Book Tours For Free Copy in exchange for Honest Review. Honesty i love books about witchcraft and The cover and blurb Looked like it would be awesome to read. Wanted to give this a chance, i really did try but i just couldn't get past the first page. Long slow pace, is what i can not do.
