The Lost Witch: A Novel by Paige Crutcher
4.0

I've been in the mood for witchy books. THE LOST WITCH wasn't what I expected, but it caught me in its magic spell. This book is highly imaginative and creative.
The story opens in the past then moves to modern day. Our poor witchy protagonist, Brigid, is forced to navigate the modern world, a lost memory, and battle monsters all at the same time. I think she handles it with aplomb.
And then Brigid faces the half-god, Luc Knightly, the one who is tied to the loss of her years and memory. But why is he so tantalizing? She wants nothing to do with him, but she's also drawn to him. He knows something he isn't telling her.
Brigid forms a new coven with her family, Ophelia and Finola, through her sister's line. These three women bond and support one another—no matter what! I adored their relationship and ability to see beyond themselves. They are brave to protect the citizens of Evermore even when they are exhausted. When Brigid arrives, Ophelia and Finola also have their power increase. And it's about time because the Witches of Knightly are stirring up more monsters, ready to take over the town and ascend in the ranks to a semi-god-like status.
My favorite character is Brigid because she's tenacious about saving her daughter. As we get more snippets of her relationship with Luc, I became more vested to find out what she would do. The radio show interviews with Ophelia and Finola are funny, snarky, and strange. These women add in subtext, which made me chuckle.
I loved the sense of hope in this story. The women bond and keep trying even when everything is going wrong.
I recommend this story.
