I’ve never seen a book start out this particular way and perhaps that’s when I realized I was hooked. A curse isn’t unusual, but what she was and what she did to get out of it was. The Vine Witch starts out a bit unusually – with the main character under a specific curse. But you can’t read book 2 without reading book 1, so that’s where I started. So in addition to being a mood reader I am also someone who reads a book based solely on cover – I picked it up. But, The Glamourist (Vine Witch #2) is coming out soon and I really was drawn to the cover.
They weren’t bad, they just didn’t inspire me to read it, so I put it on the back burner. The first reviews I saw had it between 3 and 4 stars. I’m a mood reader and the mood wasn’t right. They don’t always offer fantasy or science fiction, mostly it is thrillers and a non-fiction memoir.
Initially, I picked The Vine Witch as one of my Amazon First Reads. 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.Sometimes it’s all in the timing of when you read a book. 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. But Elena knows a hex when she sees one, and the vineyard is covered in them.
Vigneron Jean-Paul Martel naively favors science over superstition, and he certainly doesn’t endorse the locals’ belief in witches. And the vineyard she was destined to inherit is now in the possession of a handsome stranger. 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. Then the skill of divining harvests fell into ruin when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blindsided by a curse. “Cleverly crafted…The Vine Witch is a grown-up fairy tale with a twisty-turn-y story line of magic, love, and betrayal that holds your attention…Pure escapism.” -ForbesĪ young witch emerges from a curse to find her world upended in this gripping fantasy set in turn-of-the-century France.įor 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. A Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestseller.
