About this listen
My name is Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, and my age is 384 years. Each new settlement asks for a new journal, and so this Book of Shadows begins…
In the spring of 1628, the Witchfinder of Wessex finds himself a true Witch. As Bess Hawksmith watches her mother swing from the Hanging Tree she knows that only one man can save her from the same fate at the hands of the panicked mob: the Warlock Gideon Masters, and his Book of Shadows.
Secluded at his cottage in the woods, Gideon instructs Bess in the Craft, awakening formidable powers she didn't know she had and making her immortal. She couldn't have foreseen that even now, centuries later, he would be hunting her across time, determined to claim payment for saving her life.
In present-day England, Elizabeth has built a quiet life for herself, tending her garden and selling herbs and oils at the local farmers' market. But her solitude abruptly ends when a teenage girl called Tegan starts hanging around. Against her better judgment, Elizabeth begins teaching Tegan the ways of the Hedge Witch, in the process awakening memories - and demons - long thought forgotten.
Part historical romance, part modern fantasy, The Witch's Daughter is a fresh, compelling take on the magical, yet dangerous world of Witches. Listeners will long remember the fiercely independent heroine who survives plagues, wars, and the heartbreak that comes with immortality to remain true to herself, and protect the protégé she comes to love.

Mmm bit long winded
I’ve both firstly read which I gave a 3, now I’ve listened. I didn’t dislike the story or the narrator. It just went on forever and towards the end it lost me again. I ‘m about to start book 2, will update on that book

I didn’t want it to end
A gripping story, in the beginning I wasn’t too sure where it was going but this book really surprised me.
I actually cried at the end.
I feel emotionally attached to this story, I really didn’t want it to end.
I really felt like I was right there experiencing it all with Bes.

Some aspects good
I felt this book would be good for teens, although not a strong female role model as ‘the mature witch’ swoons way too easily over men. Apart from this it was a good story, well written but I found this aspect tedious. A dodgy Scottish accent

The book was okay
I did read to the end but I thought that the story was a bit predictable and I just didn't get entranced into the story.
