{Review} Witchfall by @VictoriaLamb1 {Published} @HarlequinTEEN

WitchfallHer darkest dreams are coming true 

In Tudor England, 1555, Meg Lytton has learned how powerful her magick gift can be. But danger surrounds her and her mistress, the outcast Princess Elizabeth. Nowhere is safe in the court of Elizabeth's fanatical sister, Queen Mary. And as the Spanish Inquisition's merciless priests slowly tighten their grip on the court, Meg's very dreams are disturbed by the ever-vengeful witchfinder Marcus Dent. 

Even as Meg tries to use her powers to find guidance, something evil arises, impervious to Meg's spells and hungry to control England's fate. As Meg desperately tries to keep her secret betrothed, the Spanish priest Alejandro de Castillo, out of harm's way, caution wars with their forbidden desire. And with her most powerful enemy poised to strike, Meg's only chance is a heartbreaking sacrifice.

Biography

Daughter of the bestselling novelist Charlotte Lamb, Victoria Lamb grew up in the Isle of Man off the north-west coast of England. There she enjoyed a vast library of books and a family of writers from which to take inspiration. She now lives with her own family in a three-hundred year old farmhouse on Cornwall's Bodmin Moor, where she walks every day and writes in a study overlooking fields of moorland ponies.

The Lucy Morgan series, beginning with The Queen's Secret, revolves around the intriguing life of Shakespeare's "Dark Lady of the Sonnets" and is set against the backdrop of theatrical London and the Elizabethan court.

Witchstruck is the first in the Tudor Witch trilogy published by Harlequin Teen in the States. It follows Meg Lytton, a teen witch in Tudor England struggling to serve the princess Elizabeth, imprisoned under suspicion of treason, and avoid the attentions of the witchfinder.



So many books these days suffer from book two suckitis.  I am glad that this one DIDNT! I wasn't to sure if I was really going to like Meg in book one. But I have to say that she won me over in book two.  She is just so interesting.  In this book two we have more deception, jealousy, heartache, and betrayal.  Fans of the show Reign and the Tudors will love this book even more.  I love how the magic use just blends so nicely with this story.  So if you love the supernatural and you love historical then this is deff the book for you.

History fan here! I was kind of skeptical at first but after reading your review I'll give this book a try too. I would like to see how the magic is done.
