I can get down with pretty much any story that has to do with witches, I enjoy fiction that's really "out there" from time to time, and this story was an excellent marriage of the two. I found myself reading and re-reading paragraphs, not because I was lost but because there's so much depth to Hunt's writing that I didn't want to miss a detail. I judged this book by its cover, and that turned out to be a good call (but you didn't hear it from me).
