The Witches of Harbour (Hex Duet Book 1)

The Witches of Harbour (Hex Duet), my first read from author Sian B. Claven . Enjoyable, well-written fiction. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough! “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.” The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Now I need to get Hex (Hex Duet Book 1). (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).

i liked this book but i wasnt expecting eerything in it. yes it was about so called witches but it was never really shown that there were actual ties to witches until almost the end of he book. there was a lo of violence and even rape in the book. it didnt bother me but i think there needs to be a warnign on the book for other readers for sure. the book is about a girl that is growing up in and abusive home with a mother and father who are drunk and do drugs constantly. the father physically hurts her all the time. when the police force them to send her to school she makes friends fast and easy with a set of twins, as the book goes on the mother of those twins basically takes her in after threatening her father with witch craft if he hurts her again with the understanding that she would still sleep at her house but spend days with her and so on. when one twin goes missing the book really opens up to shows small signs of the witchcraft without actually telling it. it is a good book through and through and had me wanting to keep reading until the end.

This is the story of Christine and what happened in her past. The story was both sad and interesting and a bit scary. It made me think and keep reading t see what would be revealed next. The characters were both good and bad and a wild read. just a bit of a dark sad story that just drew me and and kept me reading to the end.

Christine was a grown woman with a child Sara who was 19 years old and she gave her, her cousin
Alexie to take away from the cursed town and told her never to come back. 27years ago Christine was an abused child at the age of 6 years old and her parents were always drunk and high so she had no one to stand up for her or protect her until the town came and made her parents send her to attend school she had no clothes, or food or pencil and paper when she arrived but the teacher asks her to choose where she wanted to sit and get a piece of paper out the bend Christine didn’t much care she was having a hard time figuring out what and how she would get by when she had to teach herself to read and write knew nothing else about school. she was 8 years old now and feeling lost and she didn’t care where she sat but she chose to sit by a pair of twin girls Rachel and Alyssia. Alyssia offered her a pencil and the teacher gave her paper she was lost so she pretty much missed what he was talking about and he erased what he wrote on the board so fast she didn’t get anything on her paper. She went into the bathroom during recess and cried until it was time to return to class. The next day was better because Rachel helped her, Alyssia was very sweet and submissive. Rachel being the dominant one, Rachel taught Christine everything she needed to know and caught her up on how to keep up with what the teacher put on the board. Their stories are told in two different timelines. This is a mystery, adventure. A very interesting twisted storyline and the characters were intriguing.

I had a few, or maybe more than a few misgivings, about reading a book about witches, but I figured I would give Witches of Harbour an honest try. I sure am glad I gave it a try because it is one of those stories that really takes you deep into it and suddenly you realize several hours have passed and suddenly the story is over, and you are in awe of this story. Witches of Harbour takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride filled with action, intrigue, and some speculative fiction. I received an Advance Reader Copy and chose to provide this review.

Wow, what an interesting and good book. It starts off describing the charm of the small town of Harbour, only to look behind the curtains and see what is really going on. This is so much more than a story about witches. It’s about mania, cruelty, love, family, friendship, strength and families caught up in a curse. There are some twists and turns in the story and some characters you’ll love and hate. It really has it all and I hope there’s a continuation of the story. One of the fastest times I’ve read a book because I just didn’t want to put it down.
