“Ingeniously crafted…. The Vine Witch is an adult fairy tale with a revolving tale of magic, love and betrayal that captures your attention…. Pure escapism.” – Forbes

A young witch escapes a curse and finds her world turned upside down in this gripping fantasy film set in turn – of – century France.

 

For centuries, the vineyards of Château Renard have depended on the talents of sorcerers, whose magic helps create the world – famous wines of the Chanceaux Valley. Later, her skill in divination was ruined when sorcière Elena Boureanu was blinded by a curse. Now, after breaking the spell that imprisoned her in the shallows of the swamp and weakened her magic, Elena is struggling to return to her former life. And the vineyard she intended to inherit was now owned by a handsome stranger.

Vigneron Jean – Paul Martel favors science naively over superstition, and he certainly does not endorse the locals’ belief in witchcraft. But Elena knew a curse when she saw one, and the vineyard was covered with them. To stay and help the vines recover, she’ll have to hide her true identity, along with a plan to get revenge on the man who stole seven winters of her life. And she won’t rest until she can defy the evil forces that still pose a threat to herself, Jean – Paul, and her legacy of ancient vine wizardry in the hills. the slopes of the Chanceaux Valley.

I have been waiting for this book to come out and it did not disappoint. The story development and characters are done very well. You can feel their emotions and connections through the narrator’s voice. Excellent reading; I was captivated from start to finish. I’m so sad it’s over, but now I just need to get a hard copy of the book to keep in my library. An instant classic with rich pictures and descriptions of the Vine witches and their spells.

I was socked. It doesn’t happen to me often. I often find traitors, fools, murderers. But all the time I’m like, yeah, I was right, the author predicted for me and said oh no, you’ll have to wait for my friend. What a fascinating story about magic, potion making and winery, all wrapped up in a little love. I love every minute I read this book. The narrator is also phenomenal when it comes to changing her voice.
