*2.5 stars review also --> https://enchantedbybookssite.wordpress.com/2017/08/26/the-coven-book-review/
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.
When I first saw this cover I was sold, it has that mysterious creepy vibe, and it seemed like something I’d enjoy, then I read the synopsis and said “sign me in”. I don’t know where it fell down hill for me.
I was hoping for some witchcraft that did not happen, for the blurb or even the name, because when I first heard “The Coven” I immediately thought of witches, so for that reason it can be considered misleading. However it’s not a bad book, I honestly think a lot of people will enjoy it, if they don’t go in expecting the same things I did.
This book takes place in the 18th century, New Hampshire, where Beatrice Scarlettis mourning the disappearance of her son, at this time she finds out she’s going to loose her house, so she’s forced to accept this job in a institution . Then one group of girls disappear. It’s a nice mystery that will keep you guessing what happened to those girls. The writing was good, and easy to get into.
Personally the downfall for this book was the misleading synopsis and my association of the tittle to the actual synopsis and hoping for something that wasn’t given.
