A review by chasingdaze
The Witches of New York by Ami McKay

3.0

Both on the preachy side, dragging its feet yet also a little rushed. I felt like I wanted more from this book at every turn, either a little more magic or a little more interpersonal play, a little more horror in the treatment of the evil preacher or a little more fantasy from the dearlies. I wanted another 50 pages but I feel like it would just feel slower. Despite that I found the story it was trying to convey interesting, I like all the characters, and it generally feels like a precursor to Grady Hendrix’s “witchcraft for wayward girls” which will take place only a generation or two after the leading ladies of this story.
