1. Away
I loved the way this book started, but seems she kinda ran out of steam towards the end. What I did enjoy are the surprising twists the story takes - just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, the author surprised me again.

2. The Heretic's Daughter
Realized about a third of the way through that this was a young adult book, which explained the juvenile way the topic was addressed. Not bad for a first novel. It has rekindled my interest in the Salem Witch Trials - have read several books on this years ago, and will look into it further. If you have never read about this event in American history I recommend reading about it - the mass hysteria caused by some young women is both fascinating and horrifying.
