The Book of Shadows

By James Reese
ISBN 0-06-621015-1

With his debut novel James Reese has masterfully written a tale of witchcraft, familiars, witch trials and blood & gore. It is a mixture between Anne Rice’s narrative and erotica. The story takes place in 19th century Brittany, where a young child named Hurculine is taken to a convent to be raised after her mother dies a mysterious death. She leads a life of solitude and is educated by the nuns at the convent to believe that witchcraft is heresy. She is only saved by two elementals (Father Louis and Madeline) and with the help of a witch named Sabastiana. They teach Hurculine about her history and she becomes a very powerful witch. Sabastiana gives Hurculine a gift of her own Book of Shadows. It is a book that records all of a witch's history, spells and journals and which aids Hurculine in her quest down her path of enlightenment.

Reese creates each character, from Hurculine to Madeline to Sabastiana with so rich a history that the story comes to life with a fervor and its own pulse of life. Any reader could not put down this book for very long, specially those interested in the appeal of witchcraft. It is absorbing, fascinating and vibrant, satisfying from the first page of the story right down to the very last page.
