Witch Bottle

The Amy Grey Novels

by Edain Duguay

Witch Bottle
An Amy Grey Novel


You can’t choose the members of your family, not even the dead ones.


A modern day paranormal murder mystery with a 17th Century twist.
After a family tragedy, Amy Grey finds herself in a foreign country emptying her parent’s belongings from their summer cottage. The cottage, however, feels strange and Amy is certain someone or something is watching her.
Quickly, Amy slips into everyday life of a small town which, unbeknown to her, is haunted and conceals a serial killer. Bodies pile up because the Police have no leads, nor any evidence to pursue, nothing except a rare Witch’s Sigil.
Murder and mayhem ensue both in the present and the past, events that Amy never imagined she would see and she learns there’s another world of Spirit and vengeful Souls just under the veil of our reality.
In the bloody conclusion, the true depth of the horror is revealed and several lives hang in the balance.
Who will live and who will be Spirit?

Witch bottle is an amazing mix of both mystery, magic, family, and romance. I was pulled in from the very beginning. I loved the FMC Amy’s character growth and how she found confidence in herself as well as acceptance for what was happening. I also loved the sense of found family in this story I found it to be so sweet and endearing how Erda looked out for her. The little love story between her and Bryer was also a very nice addition that spice scene😍. And the twists that came at the end of the story I can definitely say I never saw coming. All in all I was pleasantly surprised for a book with a minimal amount of romance and spice I was still very much in love with this book. I just wanted more of Amy and Bryer’s love story but maybe I’ll get more of that in book 2🤞🏻🖤.

Picked this (and the sequel!) up from the Ottawa Comic Con since the table was so aesthetically awesome! I really enjoyed this read- I always love to read anything set in Ontario and the landscape of this book was so easy to picture! Highly recommend giving this series a try !

SPOILERS FROM HERE:
I loved the relationship that developed between Amy and Erda, it was really sweet. I also really loved the twist at the end! The spooky atmosphere kept me engaged throughout the novel. Looking forward to reading the next one!

I don't feel entirely comfortable giving this a star rating, because I am torn. It had a strong plot, interesting concept, good sense of pace, and relatable, likable characters. On those criteria, I would have very much liked to give it four or perhaps even five stars. However, it was entirely unedited, so thick with errors that I had to read some passages up to five times to figure out what was going on, and the "historical" bits were so ahistorical as to be a caricature of the period. (Nearly every archaic pronoun misdeclined, nearly every verb misconjugated.) I give two stars for the tremendous potential here, but can't give any more for something that reads like a first draft. I strongly hope that Duguay can convince Wyrdwood Publications to sack the editor responsible.

I can't honestly say I finished it. I got about 30 pages in and had to stop. But she does love her commas.
