The Witch's Kind by Louisa Morgan

Goodreads

Pages: 448

Publication Date: March 19th, 2019

Genre: Fantasy, Historical Fiction

I received a free copy of the book from Netgalley and Redhook Books in exchange for an honest review

This book is about Aunt Charlotte and Barrie Ann, their relationship and 3 parts of Barrie Ann's life. Before WWII, during the war and post. Some of it is about Barrie Ann's pre marriage, marriage and post. Post talked about Barrie Ann's adopted daughter and dog. They are the peculiar people of the community, trying to protect their family's secret.

There is mermaids, witches, aliens, g-men, the whole shebang. The main focus is family relationships though that drive it forward. The best part is certainly Willow, who's the family dog that we all want. The book is okay, but it fell a little flat to me. Cool concept, the writing/pacing was fine. I just wish there was more plot and more exploration of the water witches. I was also expecting witches and got aliens (or is it mermaids?). I don't know, just wasn't what I was expecting.

3/5

Cheers,

Jen
