I quite enjoyed this book. The 3 timelines were cleverly intertwined, with the common link being Minerva from 1998, the most recent timeline. She was a student researching a story about a 1934 disappearance at her college. Her witch heritage attracted Carolyn, a wealthy elderly donor to the college, and a powerful witch. Minerva survived the witch’s attack on her life/blood/heart thanks to knowledge passed on by her great grandmother, Alba, who was the 3rd timeline.
Minerva also survived thanks to help from a ghost. In fact, I feel that the ghost was a step too far. I have read several books by the author, and I feel that she tends to go overboard into the fantastic, thus decreasing the quality of her writing.
