REVIEW - Winds of Salem (The Beauchamp Family #3) by Melissa de la Cruz

The Book
Release Date: 13 August 2013

Freya Beauchamp is trapped in 1692, in Salem of all places, with no recollection of her past. A powerful enemy spell has sent her spiraling away so that she is separated by centuries from her mother, Joanna, and sister, Ingrid. This is not good news for a twenty-first-century witch. Not to mention the immediate threat she faces from the wealthy and influential Putnam family. When little Annie Putnam is one of the first to make accusations of witchcraft, her landowner father jumps at the opportunity to consolidate his power and expand his holdings in Puritan Salem Town. If Freya is caught using magic, she will be forced to relive the witch trials, and this time, her immortality will be in question. Meanwhile, twenty-first-century North Hampton has its own snares. Joanna and Norm consult the Oracle for advice, and Freddie and his pixie allies search for a missing totem that could reopen the passages of time and help bring his sister home. When Ingrid bumps into an old flame, she finds that her new love for Detective Matt Noble is in doubt. Moving between past and present, with dizzying plot twists and page-turning suspense, Winds of Salem is sure to bewitch fans old and new.

My Review  1 STAR
**My thanks to NetGalley and Hachette Books, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

I said yes to this book as initially it seemed like my kind of thing however after struggling to get through only 15% of the book, i just know that this is a DNF for me.  The first in a long time.

The writing just does not pull me in, the intro was so full of information there was not way that i could remember the information provided to make sense of the book and it left me feeling confused.

I was actually bored whilst reading this as there was so much explanation it just felt like there was so much page filler before we were getting anywhere.

I will not be going back to this author.
