The Top 5 Witchy Books to Read This Summer!

Let the witchery begin. . .

Welcome to where the magic is happening! If you're a lover of magic, fantasy, or more specifically, witches, then obviously you've come to the right place. [Yeah, they read the title.] I love them too. Especially since it's one of the main sources of inspiration for my witch novel, The Wiccan [We may be coming up with a more appealing title in the future. . .].

A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan was published by Redhook on Sept. 5th, 2017 in hardcover. Page count is a whopping 496 and is a historical fiction/fantasy piece.

Five generations of witches pre-World War II are left magic-less when their grandmother takes her life to save their family. Through recreating the magic, they keep the spirit alive and the hopes of regaining what is now lost. When the youngest daughter comes of age, things begin to turn around for the Orchires. It's only with World War II looming nearer and the importance of mastering but hiding magic with the new generation is when things get more complicated.

The Witches: Suspicion, Betrayal, and Hysteria in 1692 Salem by Stacy Schiff was published by Back Bay Books in Sept. 20th, 2016. 512 pages of in-depth, high knowledge and practically a history book for historians. Also categorizes as criminal law and witchcraft religion and spirituality.

The book starts where the panic starts. A minister's niece is writhe and roaring. Thus starts the baffled and bewitched politicians and educated men of the colony. Suddenly, everyone accuses everyone. It ends within less of a year, but it leaves unrecoverable consequences, including the deaths of children, dogs, and adults of both gender. I recommend this book if you're an educated, avid reader, a professor, or a historian (because the book can be very rough to read).
