Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic meets the Salem witch trials in this haunting story about three sisters on a quest for revenge - and how love may be the only thing powerful enough to stop them.

Welcome to the cursed town of Sparrow...where, two centuries ago, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Stones were tied to their ankles, and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding the town.

Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return, stealing the bodies of three weak-hearted girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into the harbor and pulling them under.

Like many locals, 17-year-old Penny Talbot has accepted the fate of the town. But this year, on the eve of the sisters' return, a boy named Bo Carter arrives, unaware of the danger he has just stumbled into.

Mistrust and lies spread quickly through the salty, rain-soaked streets. The townspeople turn against one another. Penny and Bo suspect each other of hiding secrets. And death comes swiftly to those who cannot resist the call of the sisters.

But only Penny sees what others cannot. And she will be forced to choose: save Bo or save herself.

The narrator has a lovely voice and does an amazing job with inflection and holding the listener's attention. I loved the story line and characters. Occasionally I found myself wishing we could speed things along with some repetitiveness in the storyline. While the author has a way with words, it can be overly descriptive. The ending also left me feeling unsettled like the author couldn't come to one conclusion. i recommend this book. Just make sure you can dedicate the time to it.

It truly is a great book that hooked me right away. The descriptive story telling always drew me in, and I finished it rather quickly.

While good, I will say the story left me wanting to right some of the wrongs written in for the characters. A few deserved so much more, which just a few minor changes. The ending left me feeling a bit…. Disappointed? I don’t want to give any spoilers away, but there were definite changes I’d make.

I would still absolutely recommend this book and will read more from this author.

Wow! I thought the book was going to go one way with it, but it completely through me off in the end. Definitely a good listen!! A bit slow at first but it picks up real quick!

Amazing

I loved this book so much, I’m off to find it in hardback today! Great suspenseful story that is performed in a soft dream like rhythm that plays well to the tail! I give this book 5 stars and WILL be reading it once more as soon as I can get my hands on it!

Can we have more books like this!!

Wonderful and heartbreaking, the narrator did a fantastic job conveying the melancholy and uncertainty of the protagonist. I didn't stop listening to it until it was finished. So whimsical.

I think I'll listen to this every year

I actually really liked this book and i was hesitant, the narrator is a little monotone but her voice is sweet and relaxing. The story is great, a lot of details - there's a picture painted for you while listening - it's wonderful.

A lot of detail - mystical story

Well that was really depressing
The concept of the story was nice and interesting,the plot was really good and engaging and I wanted to know what will happen .. but towards the end I don't know why I began to lose interest .. I mean, there was a decent plot twist but maybe the ending was the most depressing thing to me .. so yeah .. it was nice .. but not very much
The narration wasn't great .. she was so monotone ans barely talking that I felt sleepy most of the book .. I wish if it was a different narrator

Nice story .. but depressing

I was hoping for more story line of the witches themselves and/or anything that they did. But, instead, it was not what I was expected. It still dealt with a story of witches, but not in the context most people would think of. No major plot twists. Character development was good for Hazel, but not for the others. Cheesy ending.

Okay, but not impressed
