I just finished reading this book today and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a new take on an old theme...witchcraft.
It takes place in modern times but with flashbacks to the days of the Salem witch trials, though it doesn't take place in Salem. Like all good witch-stories, this one has an evil witch with her nasty coven of followers, a curse, monsters, persecution... all of the key plot points.
The main character is a college student named Wendy who practices the craft and who is having terrible nightmares, as are another woman and a child who all live in the same town. Her nightmares increase in ferocity and she decides to fight for dreamless nights using the only method she knows, namely, healing herbs, roots and a sky-clad magic circle. Problem is, the dreams get even worse, and in addition, people in town start going missing, being killed in strange ways and there are eyewitness reports of terrible creatures being seen, carrying townies off into the night.
I don't want to say too much because this really is a good one. You should pick it up and give it a look.
