The Witch in the Well
by Camilla Bruce
The Witch in the Well had so much potential and could’ve been a great book for spooky season. What drew me to it is the fact that this is a Norwegian thriller. Though this book is about witches, a broken friendship and a small town’s history, it fell flat especially on the “witchy” factor.
Told in 3 POVs which are either in the format of a letter, a journal entry or a document’s transcript. It was hard to keep the 3 characters apart and took some time to get the hang of things.
It focuses heavily on the past and the small town’s history but oddly includes very modern technology for the present parts. One of the MC’s were heavily into the “influencer” life and loved using hashtags for everything she posted online.
In the end I have to say that I am still confused about what I read and am left with so many questions. I didn’t think about DNFing this at all because I really wanted to understand the story and be engrossed in it. This was a difficult book in the sense of it being hard to comprehend.
