It was an easy read but the story jumped around and left some loose threads. It also had questionable plot lines and incidents, like serving bourbon to children, children murdering other children with belladonna, incest, and money solving everything. I didn’t dislike it; I just didn’t like it. Neutral. I would give this book 6 stars if I could. It is the second I've read by the author and I have her new one THE WITCH OF BOURBON STREET to read also, but I'll save it, knowing it will be fantastic and then I'll have a wait for more! The book is filled with so many clear true thoughts and quotes from another wonderful classic, The Little Prince, normally I would put a few quotes i loved in my review but I can't pick there were so many. The book never stopped being Southern, small town quirky, big crazy family magic. Great read summer or whenever, don't miss these books! I received a copy of The Witch of Belladonna Bay by Suzanne Palmieri in exchange for an honest review. Bronwyn left her home in Alabama 14 years ago and she’s never looked back. Her childhood memories aren’t the happiest, except when it comes to her brother and her two best friends. Then she gets a message from her father that her brother is in jail for killing her best friend. Bronwyn can’t help but believe in her heart that her brother is no murderer, but if he didn’t do it – who did? This book for me was as close to I get at being terrified! Yup, I’m a proud coward…The writer tells a great story of family relationships, friendships and how they shape us through time and faith in those we love. Even though I had a bit of the heebeejeebies I could not help but read to the very end and even when I thought I’d figured it out, I didn’t. Good storyline with a bit of the paranormal and very mysterious too! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Bronwyn Whalen left home at the age of 17, after her mother passed away. She'd stayed away until she received a phone call from her father after 14 years. Her little brother was in a world of trouble, accused of murdering Wyn's best friend Lottie, and her son Jaime. Why returns home determined to prove her brother's innocence and take care of niece she's never met. Unfortunately,, in order to accomplish this, she needs to come to terms with her past, accept who she is and embrace the future.
This was a great story about redemption, forgiveness and love. I loved the stubbornness of the Whalen women. The mystery of who murdered Lottie kept me engrossed to the very end. It's a great story of embracing who you are, no matter how different that may be. A beautiful and bittersweet story of love and loss. One of the best summer reads thus far this year! ( )
