    About this ebook

    A brave young woman uncovers a dangerous secret in this spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and the thin line between truth and fantasy.
     
    For sixteen-year-old Ruth, life in New Salem is simple. Obey her parents, go to school, stay inside the walls, and never question the will of the Council. The Council governs New Salem and keeps its people safe, burning mysterious effigies to remind the villagers of the physical and spiritual dangers that seek to infiltrate New Salem’s walls.
     
    When Ruth takes to exploring the woods at night, she makes a terrifying and exhilarating discovery: she and her friends Sarah and Elizabeth are witches. But it’s dangerous to be different in New Salem, and it isn’t long before rumors of witchcraft spread from the Council to the townspeople. And when Elizabeth is imprisoned, it is up to Ruth and Sarah to fulfill their destiny. A coven of witches harbors great strength—but will it be enough to save the people of New Salem?
     
    With a cast of unforgettable characters and plenty of twists, turns, and stunning revelations, Witch Hunt is a mesmerizing thrill ride from first page to last.

      This book is pretty amazing. It starts out as one genre and ends as another, almost the complete opposite, with a strand of fantasy woven all the way through.

      This isn't the best written book out there, but I was hooked.

      Better to be afraid of witches and murderers than to be one.

      Witch Hunt is creepy and mysterious and thrilling, with twists and turns and little surprises. There are scenes to gush at, scenes to have you frozen in horror, scenes to make your blood boil, and scenes to make you cry. This is a full emotional roller-coaster, so get ready.

      The characters develop really well and are well written; their understanding of various scenarios is very natural given the circumstances. You start to feel for the characters. Ruth probably grows and changes the most, but boy is she a little blind at times. Again, this is understandable, it's how it should be.

      The ending was great too. Most of the loose ends were tied up, everything came together, but it's not happily ever after. The ending is left open so that there could be a follow on, but I like it as it is, all on its own.

      Thanks to Diversion Books via NetGalley for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
    • 4/5
      Very well written. The flow of the entire book was spot on and kept me turning pages eagerly. Characters felt fleshed out and realistic with actions and reactions exactly in line with their personalities and situations. About half way through the book I began to recall a movie I had seen in 2004 with several similarities to the setting and events. Although this was a bit disappointing it didn't take too much away from my enjoyment of the book since it was well worth the read.
    • 3/5
      If you've watched movies or read books or basically lived life during the past few decades then not much of this book is going to come as a surprise to you. What might surprise you is how well these oft-used tropes are used in this book and how much you'll enjoy it despite seeing what's coming from miles away.

      What made this book for me was the characters. I liked Ruth. I felt for her. I understood her, from her need to obey her elders, to her belief in everything she's been taught, to her enchantment with learning she may be different, to her horrible feelings of betrayal. And I especially liked her and her friends at the ending.
