A suspenseful fantasy romance full of dark magic and darker secrets.
A brilliant magical book. Lilly and Theo introduce us to Isobel’s delightful world. A dark account of witches and witch hunters. The search for a magical stone leads Lilly to her soul mate- Theo. However, the road to Theo is covered in obstacles. Isobel develops her characters and plot delightfully. A dark time. A time where magic and science clash. Romance is a given but it is also a rocky road. The twist and turns in the story and ending make this a great read. Five stars.

Witchfog was fun!! I liked Lily, but, at the same time, she annoyed me. Probably because she’s a teenager trying so desperately to be a grownup. Yes, she’s wealthy and sophisticated for her age, but she doesn’t have the life experience under her belt to always make the wisest decisions. Theo is an incredibly interesting character that constantly leaves the reader wanting more information. I enjoyed Witchfog and am hoping there’s a sequel.
The book is very well written and captures your interest right away. It is a great book with lots of adventure and many twists and turns that keep you guessing which is what I truly enjoy. I don't like predictable.
I very much enjoyed the story. Lily learns so much more than she ever expected and it was interesting to watch her on her journey. She really grows and understand how little she truly knew of the world.
Well written, interesting read. Characters were true to Victorian London. Who would have thought a well bred, orphaned, wealthy London debutante socialite would team up with a man that is a lowly hand to rid the Yorkshire moors of an evil coven of witches. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting.
Totally enjoyed this book. Kept me reading, impatient when life got in the way. Good characters, good plot full of twists and turns. Looking forward to any sequels that might come along!
This is a great story that draws you in from the beginning and keeps your interest till the very end. The story had a few twists and turns with a somewhat surprising ending.
