A Lullaby for Witches - Hester Fox
For me, the alternating narratives really worked to bring the story together, and both of them center on strong female characters--well-to-do but complex Margaret Harlowe from the past, and young historian Augusta Rodos, from the present. Fox's writing is easy-to-read and beautifully descriptive, the story was paced perfectly. This title is riddled with folklore, whispers of witchcraft, and New England history that's sure to appeal to a wide variety of readers.
It's not a perfect story; the plot is a bit simplistic, a bit predictable, and this doesn't have the depth of a 5-star read, but it's great nonetheless. Definitely recommend for lovers of witchy fiction; maybe save this one to read for October, though!
