DNF @ 56%. I'm sorry but this is hella boring. At about the halfway mark the MC is a nurse in the same time period as--I assume but it's not revealed yet--Jack the Ripper and it's just the most boring and overdone story with no originality.

The MC is supposed to be a witch who is somehow immortal (you find this out right away) and that's cool but the way she tells her story and attempts to blend it into present day is incredibly uneventful.

I hadn't read a witchy book since The Witching Hour by Anne Rice (which was brilliant and deserves a reread!) so when The Witch's Daughter was recommended to me by an Instagram friend I was there! I'm so happy to be delving back into the fantasy world of witches, warlocks, elves, and faeries, as well as other beings and monsters.

The Witch's Daughter is told in diary format and set in a few different centuries. I enjoyed the storyline and the female protagonist is a very strong and likeable character. I shall definitely be reading more of Paula Brackston books
