The Familiars by Stacey Halls
4.0

3.75
I flew threw this book and was prepared to give a higher rating. I love how well the book was researched and find it fascinating and horrifically sad reading the ordeals women had to go through during the period of the witch trials.
I did enjoy the story used to join together, but I did feel it dragged in some places, and for such a research driven story, I wasn’t overly satisfied with the ending.

I think it would be an interesting book for a club, as all involvements of magic could be seen as supernatural or scientific depending on interpretation. I’m on the no-magic side myself!
