Annabel Horton Lost Witch of Salem - Vera Jane Cook - GIVEAWAY!
ABOUT THE BOOK -
From the Salem Witch trials through the Nineteenth Century and beyond, the devil’s disciple pursues young and innocent Annabel Horton. During the Incident at Loudun in 1633 Urban Grandier’s soul was taken by the devil in a furious confrontation between good and evil. The once pious priest becomes the demonic priest. His curse is on Annabel for forsaking him to Lucifer and he pursues her through time as she taunts his beliefs and he reviles hers. As Annabel flees the devil’s fire she must take the bodies of those that the devil favors to protect her family. She must uncover the motive behind the illusive Ursula/Louis Boussidan, the scandalous cross-dresser who is pursuing her beautiful granddaughter, and she must learn, being one of God’s most powerful witches, how to use her power. But will it be enough to save her husband from Urbain’s fiery inferno? Will it be enough to save her children from demons greater than themselves?

MY THOUGHTS -
Don't let the name fool you! This is Vera Jane Cook all the way. I am not new to Vera Jane Cook. I have read several of her books and loved every one! AND... this is my second time reading this one! I just didn't get a change to review it the first time around.
I love to read anything about the Salem Witch Trials. This is no ordinary Witch trial story! Oh there are enough historical facts about that time to keep fans happy, but then she goes all Vera Jane Cook on you! And by that I mean - She puts such a spin on it and it goes all spider webby, you don't know what is coming next. She does fantastic research so her stories feel like you are right there in that spot in that time.. Yet, with her own paranormal twists and originality you couldn't possibly be there!
I know every time I read one of her books I say this, but this might be my favorite one by her!
If you love historical fiction, if you are a fan of the Salem Witch Trials, or if you just love anything dark, scary, and paranormal - you will love this one!
- Thank You!!
