"Intuition alone brought Makayla to Salem, MA in search of a story, but her research has her confronting more than she bargained for. With her empathic gifts stronger in Witch City, she physcially suffers, landing her literally unconscious in the arms of both Noah Ayers, local cop and Dylan Baines, local history teacher. Yet, it is Lauri, a witch who owns a local shop, who teaches Makayla about who she is and what she can do.
Unfortunately for all of them, Makayla also stumbles upon a coven in the woods practicing a dark magic ritual. Now they are after her, threatening her life and the lives of those she has quickly come to care about. Immersed in things she never expected, like an old legend and necromancy due to residual hauntings, the race is on to stay safe from the coven and protect her heart from a certain sexy cop.
But, is Lauri correct in thinking Makayla might just have encountered the only real witch in Salem from 1692? And, do they share the same bloodline?" ~ From Goodreads
Kind of a perfect fit for Halloween! I usually shy very far away from witch books because they sound so fake to a former eclectic wiccan, but there was something about the blurb of Hidden Salem that made me feel like this book was going to be different - not the flashy, easy witchiness, but the earthy style... with all the eeriness and scariness that go with suspense. And I was right! I love it when that happens! ;)
Makayla was absolutely great to read! As investigating story hunter she's got moxy and lots of courage but she definitely still has a soft underbelly and that makes her a great character. I loved how easy the connection were with Ma, Noah and Dylan, they got a great sensual connection too ( I usually don't shy away from saying if something needs more romance, but I think Hidden Salem had the perfect mix with the suspense, the Salem Witch hunt and little bit of romance to stir the chemistries ).
I love the cover, I love how well it presents the book and how it shows the eeriness of the novel.
You'll love this if you... like your witches evil and scary, history mixed with modern scares and a tough heroine!
