A Lullaby for Witches by Hester Fox

Let's get it out of the way - I'm very likely Hester Fox's #1 fangirl. When the opportunity to read an advanced copy of A Lullaby for Witches came up, I could not have said yes fast enough.

Set primarily in Tynemouth, Massachusetts in two different timeline, we follow two women. One, Margaret Harlowe, a wealthy young woman who doesn't quite fit in with society. She feels the call of the woods and has a dark power and ability to create and heal those who find themselves in 'trouble'.

The other, Augusta, another young woman who is struggling to find her place, takes a job at the Harlow House, 150 years after Margaret existed. She's bored in her life, in her relationship and this new job is exactly the jump start into the life she's always hope she would have. When she happens to find the stumble into the mystery of Margaret...it's too good to let go.

Hester knows exactly what she's doing when she writes books like this. She is a master at creating tension and atmosphere. I could smell the woods and feel the spray of the sea on my face. The last few chapters are so....action packed and exciting that I ended up staying up WAYYYYYY too late to finish the book because I could NOT put it down. I had to know what happened and I could just leave it to finish another day.

All in all, this is another hit for me from my girl, Hester.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book. Thanks to Hester Fox for being the best dark witchy writer I could have ever hoped.
