I loved the first book by Grindle. This is a continuation of that story. The Salem witches but told in a different perspective. It was a bit slow starting out, but it was enjoyable once things started happening. Look forward to more by this author.

This is the second book in the Salem series. It’s set in Salem in 1692, and is based on true events. This is a haunting and atmospheric book set against the backdrop of a brutally cold winter. The writing is sharp and captures the tension of a community trapped not only by the brutal weather but its own escalating paranoia. Resolve once escaped a past full of brutality and fear, now she must face the present filled with condemnation, bitterness and spite. A great read! Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and author, for an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This was really good!!! I loved the atmospheric ambience of the whole novel, thanks to the excellent characterisation and writing!! Once I started reading it was difficult to put the book down! I have not read (yet) the first book, however this novel can be read as a standalone book. The story is poignant (based on real people and events) pointing out the ignorance of people as well as the outrage of colonisation and much more still... Highly recommended!
I received a digital copy of this novel from NetGalley and I have voluntarily written an honest review.
