Dawn of the blood witch
When it comes to witchcraft, it's never just a teenage phase...
For as long as she can remember, high school senior Joephie Turner's mother has told her she is cursed by a witch. As she settles into her new hometown of Northport, Long Island at the height of the 1980s Satanic Panic era, Joephie is accepted into a circle of friends obsessed with the occult. Demonic messages on cassette tapes, shady youth group leaders, and passionate sexual encounters push the teen into a thrilling world that lends a deeper meaning to the proverbial mantra: "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Until it all goes wrong.
A decade later, haunted by nightmares of cults and rituals, formidable burgeoning witch Joephie pieces her memories together in search of answers about the small group of suburban teens that meddled with dark forces. As an adult, Joephie will have to decide what, or who, she is willing to sacrifice from her past in order to claw her way back to sanity.
Inspired by true events, Witch of the Black Circle is a deliciously wicked and nostalgic journey through time where the lines of reality and the supernatural blur.
Maria DeVivo draws upon the perfect blend of cosmic horror and psychological thriller elements to deliver a potent and intoxicating brew that hits all the right notes of your senses. Witch of the Black Circle is a gripping pageturner of a novel full of mystery, suspense, horror, and mind-numbing thrills that keep you constantly on the edge of your seat until the end. DeVivo is a master at creating tension and intrigue with a plot that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. You feel a palpable sense of doom while going through the narrative, and at times, it seems as if it seeps through the pages and captures your mind. Joephie isn't always the most reliable narrator, and since the story is told from her perspective, you always feel as if a bigger mystery is there to unfold. Overall, I was hooked from start to finish and can't recommend this book highly enough. - Pikasho Deka
