I completely enjoyed this book. Of course I could be biased as I do enjoy witchcraft books. I read it for one book club and will be recommending it for my other book club. I went into the story thinking I would find many inaccuracies regarding witchcraft either modern or historical. I was pleasantly surprised. There was only one issue I had that happened in the kitchen and with the plant, read it for yourself, I don't want to spoil it for you. I am thinking Katherine Howe may have added this in case it is made into a movie for the special effects. My favorite parts were the historical references to Deliverance and her descendants. I enjoyed the interaction between the mothers and daughters, how societies attitudes effected the relationships and each generations regard for the physic book. The modern day story of Connie was acceptable and I think the end was a bit rushed. I wish they would have take a little more time with the finding of the book. Everybody in my book club was a bit confused on how the book was appropriated. All in all a really good read
