I’ve started to choose books to read based on the cover alone. More times than not, it’s a pleasant surprise. This is one of those books.
The atmospheric imagery in this allows the reader to be transported to their world and I felt like the pages came alive as I read.

A huge thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Amber Raven for providing me with an ARC of The Weybourne Witches in exchange for my honest review.
The Weybourne Witches is a spellbinding tale that explores the lives of the Netherwell women — a bloodline of witches whose legacy spans centuries. As these women confront the darkness posed by those seeking to exploit their magic, their stories of resilience and power are revealed in vivid detail.
This book is pure witchy perfection and an absolute joy to read! Amber Raven skillfully weaves together multiple time periods and points of view, a narrative structure that could easily become confusing. However, she handles these transitions with grace, creating a seamless tapestry of interconnected stories. Each Netherwell woman feels richly developed, and I found myself deeply invested in their journeys. It takes real talent to breathe life into so many characters, and Amber Raven accomplishes this effortlessly.
The ending was beautiful, leaving me with a mix of emotions that lingered long after I finished the book. If you love stories steeped in magic and family legacies, The Weybourne Witches is a must-read — especially for fans of witchy stories such as Practical Magic.
A fantasy story about troubled twin sisters. One has challenging behaviour and will always need care. Her sister chooses to tend to her at home. They both happen to be witches. There are ancient curses, a magical tree, spells, a real sense of place and the history of witchcraft. Suspend belief and enjoy!
I love tales of witches. The reasons why women were accused of witchcraft range from the ridiculous to the outrageous.
Set in the village of Weybourne, Norfolk, it is 1647 and Brigid Netherwell, is accused of witchcraft and condemned to death. Her young daughter Willow and her family watch in horror and Willow vows to right the wrong.
I loved this book.

The Weybourne Witches is a captivating and richly atmospheric tale that entwines magic, family, and the enduring strength of women. Set in the village of Weybourne, Norfolk, the story begins in 1647 with Brigid Netherwell, a woman accused of witchcraft and condemned to death in front of her young daughter, Willow. In the wake of this tragedy, Willow vows to preserve her family's story, setting the stage for a centuries-spanning journey through the Netherwell bloodline.
Decades later, twin sisters Myrtle and Marigold Netherwell are drawn into the dark secrets of the past, forced to confront the legacy of the women who came before them. As they uncover the depths of their ancestors' powers and the dangers posed by those who seek to exploit their magic, the Motherwell women’s stories unfold in vivid and evocative detail, weaving a narrative that blends mystery, resilience, and enchantment.
Amber Raven's storytelling is nothing short of enchanting. The author expertly navigates multiple periods and points of view—a challenge that could easily become convoluted—yet she manages these transitions with remarkable ease. The different voices and experiences are distinct, and the rich development of each character allows readers to form an emotional connection with the Netherwell women. Raven brings each of them to life with skill and nuance, making it easy to become deeply invested in their journeys.
The book’s ending is both poignant and powerful, leaving a lasting emotional impact that lingers long after the final page is turned.

If you’re drawn to stories filled with magic, mystery, and powerful female characters, this book will captivate your heart and soul, much like Practical Magic and other beloved witchy tales.
This is a story that will enchant and thrill, making The Weybourne Witches an unforgettable read.
