"The new Practical Magic for a generation of women who value sisterhood, friendship and fierce, fabulous feminism above all else. It was an absolute delight from start to finish, and the kind of book I've been craving for years. Escapist and hilarious but also bold and incisive, this novel has shot to the top of my list of favourites."
-- Marissa Stapley, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky
Marais clever prose offers as much laughter as insight, delving deeply into feminism, identity and power dynamics while stirring up intrigue and drama through secrets, lies and sex. In this enchanting novel we meet a coven of misfit witches--a sisterhood as diverse as it is powerful, though struggling with many of the same issues that face non-magical women in particular, what it means to be an aging woman in a society enamored with youth.
These abilities made her both revered and feared by the townspeople. Many stories surround Moonright Manor and the witch's allegedly nefarious activities. Some say she would go out at night, riding on a broomstick, and casting spells on unsuspecting victims.

"Moonright Manor Witch" was a complete waste of time. The story was dull and dragged on for ages before anything remotely interesting happened. The author seemed more focused on describing irrelevant details rather than developing a coherent plot. The dialogue was unrealistic and the characters felt like mere caricatures. I struggled to finish this book and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling paranormal read.

I had high hopes for "Moonright Manor Witch" based on the promising synopsis, but sadly, it fell short. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took forever for anything significant to happen. The supposed twists were predictable and lacked impact. The writing style was average at best, with no standout moments or beautiful prose. Overall, "Moonright Manor Witch" failed to engage me or leave any lasting impression, making it a forgettable read in a genre that is teeming with better options.

I regret wasting my time on "Moonright Manor Witch." The storyline was cliché and riddled with plot holes. The characters were uninteresting, lacking depth or any semblance of development. The author also seemed to rely heavily on tired tropes and stereotypes, making the story feel stale. The writing itself was uninspiring and failed to capture my attention. I would urge readers to skip this book and explore other, more engaging options within the genre.
