The Lost Witch by Paige Crutcher: Review

I am not one to usually read a fantasy novel. In fact, I can not tell you how long it has been! However, the overview caught my eye and it sounded like a great change of pace!

Releasing later this year, check out my review and thoughts on the fantasy romance below,

OVERVIEW:
1922. Brigid Heron is a powerful witch and healer in the seemingly lost, but charming small town of Evermore on a forgotten isle in Ireland. However, there is one thing that she longs for above all else: a child of her own. She is even willing to be seduced by the mysterious Luc Knightly, head of the Knightly coven, whose pull is potent and impossible to resist. When their child is born and falls ill, Brigid will risk anything to save her daughter–even tap into the forbidden magic of the Lough of Brionglóid. But when the wild magic takes her daughter from her, Brigid is swept away as well.

2022. Evermore is under siege. The witches of Knight have been using their chaos magic to widen the rift between the island and the Otherworld. Creatures from folklore prey on the villagers, consuming their very humanity.

Brigid awakens in this world with no memory of how she traveled into the future, but she learns that she helped unleash this curse on Evermore. To seal the lough and stop the witches of Knight, she must work with her magical descendants, Ophelia and Finola. But the knowledge she seeks lies with Luc Knightly himself—mysterious, handsome, and powerful. To save Evermore, Brigid may have to lose everything once again.

The Lost Witch by Paige Crutcher Review

I have to say that this book was not was I was expecting. But then books like that can be exciting!

This one took me a while to get into the plot. In some areas, I have to admit, I was a tad lost and confused with the portals and lough. I had to google that one… What kept me going was the characters. I was highly invested in Luc. He is a handsome mystery with a big secret and a full heart.

Crutcher crafted such a unique story that once you figured out what was going on, you found yourself engaged and invested for the long term. With memories and the timeframe flipping back and forth 100 years, family and connections are the big keys to the secrets.

The Lost Witch is a good story if you are into witches and fantasy stories. Fun, levity, love, and romance are interspersed with hate and evil for an all-around story that captures every interest.
