" I am really torn between giving this book 3 stars or 4, this is where we need that half star. I love the subject matter, and I like the author's writing style, but I'm not too much for magic. I enjoyed the first half of this book more. The protagonist digging deep to unravel a mystery of something she found in her grandmother's neglected home. I liked the love interest which was introduced. It added a little sideline and didn't overpower the main theme. Then the second half delved a little more into magic than I cared for. But, I knew it would be in there so I guess I shouldn't penalize the book too much. It's a wonderful story that gives a hint glimpse into the hysteria in Salem at the end of the 1600's. If anything, I am now interested in finding a book that will tell the real story. "
