This book was an excellent way to spend my weekend. .
The main character Minerva, a graduate student, as she delves into the true events that inspired the book she is writing her thesis on: The Vanishing.
She has always been intrigued by the supernatural, and grew up listening to her great-grandmother, Alba's, stories in Mexico. She realizes there may be more to The Vanishing than is written on the page.
When Minerva discovers an elderly donor to the university has journals written by Betty, the author of The Vanishing, she convinces her to allow her to use them for her research. Her research leads her to unexpected places, and soon, she finds herself in mortal danger.
The Bewitching alternates between three main story lines, Minerva's in 1998, Betty's in 1934, and Alba's in 1909. Though time and location separate these story lines, they all intersect beautifully. I found myself on the edge of my seat and closing my blinds as I read this book.
Thank you to Netgalley and Del Rey for the opportunity to read and review this book before publication!
