An excellent pre-wrap up to a charming series... I hear there will be one more novella to truly wrap up the series. Readers will enjoy seeing old favorites return, and there are many chuckle and laugh out loud moments as we embark on a cozy journey to confront Moriath once and for all. I was honored to be a sensitivity and beta reader for this book, and can't wait for others to enjoy it as I have.

Distinctly darker and decidedly more Gothic than her original faerie tale series, Atwood's Witchwood Knot compels you deep into the plot just as the faerie knot traps its victims.

Winifred is the perfect heroine for this tale, being so very human and with faults that you wonder whether you're supposed to like her even as you're cheering her on. Mr Quincy is the epitome of the morally gray hero, and I was in turn concerned by him and wanting more. The romance is "sweet" by the definition of what happens between the hero and heroine, but the story around them is not, and Atwood's warning at the start of the book should be taken seriously. A satisfactory ending to our other morally gray character who too many people have experienced in this world. The ending also left no doubt this is clearly the first of what I hope is a trilogy, centering on each of Winifred's sisters, perhaps?

An excellent read for this Halloween season, and a special thanks to the author for allowing me to read this in advance of publication.
