In this Buffy the Vampire Slayer prequel, fan-favorite and LGBTQIA+ icon Tara Maclay gets the main character treatment . . . whether she wants it or not.
Tara Maclay isnโt thrilled to be in a new town for her senior year of high school. She misses her mom, her garden, her magicโand the way her dad treated her before her mom passed. But if Tara can just keep her head down, then maybe she can make it through this year in Hellborne, Vermont without the town living up to its name.
Of course, her plan falls apart immediately, as dead students start turning up around her, and sheโs suddenly voted Most Likely To Have Murdered Them by the rest of the senior class. Oh, and the fellow new girl Taraโs crushing on? Turns out to be a witch-hunter. . . . So maybe itโs not the worst thing that Taraโs magic is majorly malfunctioning.
As the body count rises, Tara has to get past her fears, reconnect with her magic, and cast herself in a more central role to save the townโeven if it means putting her new relationship at risk.
The Bewitching Hour is full of '90s nostalgia, mysterious murders, and a star-crossed sapphic romance, blended perfectly together by New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Ashley Poston.
๐ญMy review๐ป
I wasn't too sure about this book at first. I'm a BIG fan of the original Buffy. But I gave it a chance because I really like Taraโs character in the t.v show and thought the tv show should have shown more of her story. The book was good. It was a good read. I loved all the twists and turns in the story. I think the author got the character right. It made me think of Stephen King's Carrie a little. Iโm happy I got to read
It. If you like Buffy you will probably like this book. Even if you havenโt seen Buffy you can read this and not be confused . The author did an awesome job.
Thank you to Netgalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide, Disney Hyperion for giving me a chance to read and review this book.
