Annabel Horton, Lost Witch of Salem
About
"When the noose is slipped around your neck turn your head sharp, to the right. Do it girl, and be spared...."
From the Salem Witch trials through the Nineteenth Century and beyond, Annabel Horton, one of God’s most powerful witches, is pursued by the devil’s disciple, Urban Grandier, a demonic spirit bent on possessing her. In order to save herself and her family, she must take the bodies of those that the devil favors and uncover the motive behind the illusive Ursula, also known as Louis Bossidan, a scandalous cross-dresser who is pursuing her beautiful granddaughter.
Most importantly, she must learn how to use her impressive 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?
Reader Reviews:
“A hauntingly beautiful and well-written tale of the Lost Witch of Salem.”
“This is not just a novel, it is an experience.”
Praise for this book
Vera Jane Cook has created a timeless character in Annabel Horton – literally. Destined for her soul to pass through time dimensions and to constantly face her demons, Annabel must save her extended family from the Devil’s clutches. When I say extended, I mean close relatives, extended by several hundred years!
Running at about 137,000 words it is never tedious. It is, however, sometimes complex matter to keep up with the family tree, but it is well worth bearing with.
At times heartfelt, always verging on the dramatic, Vera Jane Cook’s novel is a masterpiece. When reading this you may find yourself questioning time and reality, but I doubt you’ll question the abilities of this author. Five very large stars.
A hauntingly beautiful and well-written tale of the Lost Witch of Salem. I was mesmerized by the intriguing detail and uniqueness of this book. I've never read anything like it.
The characters are so well defined and blend beautifully through time. The author weaves such intricacies throughout each time period and ties everything together in a jaw-dropping end. I hope for a sequel. I highly recommend this five-star book.
