I loved this book! It kept me hooked the entire time. I loved the research the author put into the story and made notes in the Author's Note about her process and what the book was based on. The story in this book is written with a dual-timeline with multiple points of view. You follow the story of Clem, who's daughter is badly injured in some kind of mysterious accident, and Alison who is living in 1594 and is accused of witchcraft. This book does such a great job weaving in the stories of each character. It provides really interesting imagery for omens and metaphors, as well as historical details which are fascinating.

Great writing and a really good story. Just not enough for me to love it.
I think I needed a little more darkness/lore in the development of the "present" story.
