Book Information 

To save her child, she will trust a stranger. To protect a secret, she must risk her life...

Lancashire 1612

Fleetwood Shuttleworth is 17 years old, married, and pregnant for the fourth time. But as the mistress at Gawthorpe Hall, she still has no living child, and her husband Richard is anxious for an heir. When Fleetwood finds a letter she isn’t supposed to read from the doctor who delivered her third stillbirth, she is dealt the crushing blow that she will not survive another pregnancy.

When she crosses paths by chance with Alice Gray, a young midwife, Alice promises to help her give birth to a healthy baby, and to prove the physician wrong. 

When Alice is drawn into the witchcraft accusations that are sweeping the North-West, Fleetwood risks everything by trying to help her. But is there more to Alice than meets the eye? 

As the two women's lives become inextricably bound together, the legendary trial at Lancaster approaches, and Fleetwood’s stomach continues to grow. Time is running out, and both their lives are at stake. 

Only they know the truth. Only they can save each other

My Review 

5☆ Spellbinding, Superbly Written, Pulled Me In, A Book that Will Stay with Me for a long time!

There is only one word to really sum up THE FAMILIARS..... and that is..... Spellbinding!

Fleetwood has tried so very hard to have a child but nature has been cruel and she has never carried a baby to full term.

Well that is until now.

Fleetwood is pregnant again and is determined that this time round she will do everything she can to protect her baby.

She discovers a letter sent to her husband Richard telling him that his wife is not to conceive any more children or she will die during childbirth, she is simply devastated and doesn't know what to do.

So when Fleetwood meets Alice in the woods one day, she is convinced she can help Fleetwood deliver the baby and keep her alive, so she asks Alice for help.

But this partnership isn't going to be easy, when Alice is accused of practising Witch Craft.

But can Fleetwood keep Alice and her baby safe, and give her husband Richard the baby he so desperately wants!

THE FAMILIARS is such a Powerful, Heart Breaking and Enthralling read, it Pulled me in and Got Under My Skin! 

It's a book that I will remember for a very long time!

I simply adored all the Witch references and the eerie yet heart breaking storyline, was Compelling yet Poignant.

It also has a Gothic feel to it which only added to the spellbinding essence.

It's hard to believe this is a debut novel it's superbly written, with Strong Female Lead Characters that were perfectly written and enchanting.

If you enjoy Historical Fiction with an eerie gothic feel, that has a captivating and powerful plot, then you will adore THE FAMILIARS.

I can't recommend reading this Gorgeous Book Enough!

Stacey Halls is definitely going on my to watch out for list!
