Silvia Moreno-Garcia writes books that make you think and scare you to the core.
In her latest work, "The Bewitching," she takes the reader through three generations, all of whom are impacted by witchcraft in differing ways.
From 1908 to 1934 to 1998, we meet and follow different women, all strong in their ways for each time period. She also surrounds them with characters that are supportive and suspicious, and keeps you guessing as you move through these experiences with them.
What I love about Moreno-Garcia's books is the frankness with which she addresses the supernatural and the overlapping real-world issues she uses as a lens to examine elements of society.
I read her books with bated breath-- anxiously awaiting the next reveal.
