The Lost Witch: A Novel by Paige Crutcher

4.0

Steeped in Irish folklore, this book has sister witches, faerie, gods/goddesses, family connections, the small town feel, spooky vibes with the Damned, and even a love story. So many of my favorite elements are found in The Lost Witch that I'm sorry some components were not expanded upon firther. I read Crutcher's previous novel, The Orphan Witch, and this one gave me similar (OG) Charmed and Practical Magic vibes. While Brigid, Ophelia, Finola, and others practiced magic against very high stakes for their lives and the village's, the book overall consistently gave me familiar cozy feeling. I really like it and will definitely reread it upon final publication. Preferably the Goddess and the MC wouldn't have such similar names, but I never truly got confused. I recommend the book to anyone interested in a witchy read that pulls in Irish folklore and prefers minimal spice.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher, St. Martin Press, for the chance to read an ARC of this fantastic book in time for Halloween.
