The Witches of Bone Hill is a well written contemporary paranormal/horror novel by Ava Morgyn. Released 26th Sept 2023 by Macmillan on their Griffin imprint, it's 352 pages and will be available in hardcover, audio, and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout.
There's a palpable sense of dread throughout this story with a number of off kilter very violent scenes which throw readers off balance and unprepared for the next assault. There are some graphic scenes which might possibly make it NSFW/commute.
It's a horror romance which might seem an odd combo, but the author does a good job with the nuts & bolts writing and the central characters are fairly well fleshed out and three dimensional. There are curses galore, and blood debts, and bone knives, and magic, and ghosts, and a huge scary house which figures centrally to the plot.
Three and a half stars. Fans of Deborah Harkness and Karen Marie Moning will likely enjoy this one.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
