Season Of The Witch
YA fiction
Get ready for Hell.
Quite the message to get before the start of your high school
junior year. Toni, protagonist of Mariah Fredericks' Season of the
Witch, has spent time with Oliver over the summer. Now his
girlfriend, Chloe, is back with him and irate. She and her girls are
out for blood. There are the threats, the emails, and the rumor
campaign that has Toni pegged as a slut.
Then one day things get seriously ugly. Chloe and her chums
assault Toni in the bathroom, sticking her head in an unflushed toilet
bowl. Not surprisingly, when she is offered a chance to get revenge
through witchcraft she wants her tormenter scared, hurt, and humiliated.
Only things get out of hand fast.
Season Of The Witch is a real page turner of a suspense story.
It also asks some thought provoking questions. It's quite relevant
these days when teens have so many ways to torment those they hate.
On a personal note, weather is still really messed up in Maine. Power
lines keep going down.
A great big shout out goes out to the people working around the clock
to fix power outages.
