Story
In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

Story
In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement.

Ursule Orchière has been raised on stories of the great witches of the past. But the only magic she knows are the false spells her mother weaves over the women who visit their fortune-telling tent.

The grieving widower. The motherless daughters. A beautiful house in the woods. Deep in a remote Norwegian forest, Lexi has found a new home with architect Tom and his two young daughters. With snow underfoot and the sound of the nearby fjord in her ears, it’s as if Lexi has stepped into a fairy tale. But this family has a history – and this place has a past. Something was destroyed to build their beautiful new house. And those ancient, whispering woods have a long memory. Lexi begins to hear things, see things that don’t make sense.

1620s Lancashire. Away from the village lies a small hamlet, abandoned since the Plague, where only one family dwells amongst its ruins. Young Sarah Haworth, her mother, brother and little sister, Annie, are a family of outcasts by day and the recipients of visitors by night. They are cunning folk: the villagers will always need them, quick with a healing balm or more, should the need arise. They can keep secrets, too, because no one would believe them anyway.

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

In A Spell in the Wild, Alice Tarbuck explores what it means to be a witch today.

Summary
Narrated by actress and comedian Gemma Whelan, best known for playing Yara Greyjoy in the HBO fantasy-drama series Game of Thrones
In 17th-century England, civil war rages and witches have become pawns in a plot to oust the king. Red-haired Evey does not want to be a witch, but she cannot deny the magick coursing through her veins. In a country seething with civil war, superstition, dread and dark forces are at work. A storm is coming. After witnessing the brutal murder of her mother by witch-hunters, Evey vows to avenge her and track down her killers. Fury burns in her bright and strong. But she has promised her mother that she will keep Dill, her little sister, safe. Dill: the gifted one, their mother's favourite. Dill, who their mother entrusted with the scrying stone, which should rightfully be Evey's.
Battling a terrible jealousy of Dill, Evey seizes the scrying stone and abandons her little sister with their Aunt Grey at the coven in the woods. Even though Evey longs to be free she has a promise to keep and she cannot rest until justice is done. She sets off to town where the men who murdered her mother are gathering for the witch trials. But as the lust for blood and retribution rises to fever pitch, will Evey keep true to the bonds of sisterhood and to the magick that is her destiny?
A breathtaking debut about the power of women, witchcraft, fury, revenge and the ties that bind us.

Sincere Storytelling
I enjoyed the heartfelt performance and the charming folktale style of writing. I was impressed with the freshness and authenticity of the characters as the story focused on the family bonds that have often been overshadowed by the formidable power of covens in darker portrayals of witches. This story highlights the compassion that can be found in the heart of witches as mothers, daughters, sisters, healers and defenders of the community. Witches are human beings and they have hearts of gold.

So so
This book has tons of potential, but I could not get into it. I really wanted to like it but I wasn't pulled into the characters in a detailed and personal way. I can't put my finger on the part I didn't like. I think it was potentially really good but fell short of 5 stars.

Great story
This is a great story, it isn't the longest but still leaves you engrossed the whole time. I love the emphasis on women as witches, revenge, and compassion all in one. Whelan was also a very good narrator and left you really feeling for the characters. Her voice was also very smooth and nice to listen to. Sometimes she was a little slow, but I seem to think all narrators are a little too slow for my liking. Maybe that's me - luckily there is a speed up button! I generally have to do it around 1.5 to make it sound more natural. Beautiful story. Story: 5/5, Narrator: 4/5.

Witch is rooted deep in rich earth and dark history
An astonishingly assured debut Hawkins WITCH is riveting in its tempo, and an authentic, visceral and insightful depiction of a young woman forced to embrace her power amid a brutal history of war and persecution. The unique historical setting, and period specific local dialect are brilliantly rendered in language that dances and crackles and draws us in deep into Evie’s struggle. So skilfully crafted and vibrant with ancient forest and lore, WITCH is cinematic in its intensity, yet intimate and tender at its core.
