A review by nerdybynatureblog
The Witch of Willow Hall by Hester Fox

5.0

**I was provided a copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Holy cow did I love this book! I was initially drawn in just by the tagline, and I'm happy to say that this book is more than just that. After a scandal forces Lydia Montrose and her family to flee Boston for their new country home, Willow Hall, she notices strange occurrences cropping up in the seemingly charming estate. Lydia feels a growing sense of terror and unease in her new home, which only worsens after the death of her younger sister. After one such encounter with the supernatural, Lydia discovers there is a power within her that she must learn to harness if she wants to protect herself and her loved ones. I can't say enough how much I loved this book. It was beautifully written (so hard to believe this was Fox's first novel!) and the witchy-ness wasn't too overpowering and in your face. It was subtle and allowed for the story to become so much more. I cannot recommend this one enough.
