A new Jessica Thorne novel is always a good thing. A Jessica Thorne novel featuring celtic mythology, secrets, romance and a lost underwater city; sign me the hell up.
Ariadne Walker is an archaeologist who has arrived in Brittany at her brother's invitation. He thinks he may have found the forgotten City Of Ys. Ariadne is still grieving her fiance Simon who drowned searching for treasure in this same spot. Ari has never believed in the Water Witch or her curse but revisiting the place of Simon's death she is haunted everywhere she turns. Then she meets Rafael a local, descended from an ancient Breton family and he swears that the curse and the legends of Ys are very real. Together he and Ari search for a way to break the centuries old curse of the Water Witch that has led the men of Rafael's family to an early grave.
A novel filled with Jessica Thorne's trademarks of romance, tension and magic I devoured this book. A perfect choice for fans of Anna Mckerrow, Sarah Painter, and Christina Courtenay.
