Book Review - The Vine Witch
A young witch emerges from a curse to find her world upended in this gripping fantasy set in turn-of-the-century France.
For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have depended on the talent of their vine witches, whose spells help create the world-renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that confined her to the shallows of a marshland and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger.
Vigneron Jean-Paul Martel naively favors science over superstition, and he certainly doesn’t endorse the locals’ belief in witches. But Elena knows a hex when she sees one, and the vineyard is covered in them. To stay on and help the vines recover, she’ll have to hide her true identity, along with her plans for revenge against whoever stole seven winters of her life. And she won’t rest until she can defy the evil powers that are still a threat to herself, Jean-Paul, and the ancient vine-witch legacy in the rolling hills of the Chanceaux Valley.
I finished The Vine Witch as part of my Halloween Book Week 🎃🧙🏻♀️
The Vine Witch is the first book in the Vine Witch series and wow was it a good one.
With Witches, Dark Magic, Curses, Jealousy, Betrayal, Family Secrets, Potential Romance, New Friendships and of course wine!
This story is a slow burner, but as the plot unfolds the murkier side to story gets juicy with little twists.
I haven't read anything quiet like this and i really enjoyed learning about the Vine Witches and how their Magic was used to help the vineyard crops thrive and produce the best wine.
I also really liked discovering who was behind the curse although I did predict it early on it was intriguing to know why.
The ending was a bit of a shocker and definitely caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting it and, and now I can't wait to read the next book, which I have waiting on my kindle app.
If you enjoy Compelling Witchy Stories that are entwined with Intrigue and Dark Magic then give The Vine Witch a read you may well enjoy it as much as I did. A great read for fans of YA Fantasy.
