The Witch's Kind
by Louisa Morgan
I fell in love with A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan last year and I was ecstatic when my hold came in for The Witch’s Kind by Louisa Morgan. Both books are standalone novels but share similar witchy themes. The book takes place in the Pacific Northwest and introduces Barrie Ann Blythe, post WWII. She lives alone on a farm. One day, her dog Willow brings her a baby that she pulled from the water, wrapped in a blanket. That is mysterious enough but it doesn’t take long to see the baby has other mysterious qualities. Barrie Ann only trusts one person, her aunt Charlotte. Charlotte has a way of knowing things. Over the years Charlotte has told Barrie about the family trait, a trait that could be dangerous if anyone ever found out. Now they must protect the baby at all costs.
Louisa Morgan’s books speak to my soul. I can never find anything that I don’t like about them. Her writing is utterly enchanting as if there is magic in the words themselves. The pace is steady and enjoyable. The story does jump back and forth between WWII and post WWII but it is not jarring and it flows perfectly from one scene to the next.
The characters are delightful. I absolutely adored Barrie and found that I could relate to her. She makes mistakes but she learns. She also finds herself struggling to understand the world around her, which anyone could relate to. Her development is perfection. Then there is Charlotte. She is Barrie’s rock. She is the embodiment of wisdom and comfort. She will go above and beyond for family.
One of the things I love most about Louisa Morgan’s books is the themes of life experience, love, acceptance, and family. The witchy theme while very much present isn’t the main theme. It just accents the other themes. Now, be warned this book does explore issues like pregnancy loss and domestic violence and manipulation. However, I couldn’t have loved this book more. Out of the 2 books I have read by Louisa Morgan, I have loved both. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
