V has said she would love to someday write her intended third book in this series THE RETURNED but because of contractual reasons that is not something she can do yet. It is also a story about a young woman wanting something more than what society has dictated for her, as well as her determination to show that she can and will succeed where those trying to suppress her have failed.
It opens with top notes of bergamot and neroli, giving it a fresh and citrusy start. As the fragrance develops, it reveals heart notes of jasmine, lily of the valley, and magnolia, providing a floral and feminine touch. The base notes of white musk, sandalwood, and vanilla add a warm and sensual undertone to the perfume.
Review: The Near Witch by V.E. Schwab
The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children.
If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company.
And there are no strangers in the town of Near.
These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger-a boy who seems to fade like smoke-appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.
The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. Still, he insists on helping Lexi search for them. Something tells her she can trust him.
As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know-about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.
I’ve been putting off this book for a while as I was a little hesitant about how much I would enjoy it. With The Invisible Life of Addie Larue grabbing top spot and being my favourite book of 2020, I am now so worried about not loving her other works quite as much. But although this didn’t quite match up, I still absolutely loved it!
The Near Witch is part fairy-tale, part love story, part nightmare. It opens on a scene where the main character, Lexi, is telling her little sister a bedtime story, and the book never strays far from that tone. Reading this book has the feeling of going on a rambling journey and becoming enchanted by a creepy tale. This definitely ended up being darker than I expected but in a gentle way that wasn’t too intense or overwhelming, and I really liked it. It was creepy in the way fairy-tales can be, rather than a typical horror!
Maybe one day the words will pour out like so many others, easy and smooth and on their own.
One of my favourite things about V.E. Schwab is her incredible writing. The writing in this was mystical and beautiful and I adored it. She chooses every word purposefully and it shows, and I feel like that’s the reason it took me slightly longer to read than I expected, as I wanted to make sure I really absorbed every part of this book and every single word on the page.
The writing also showcased the amazing world this book is set in. Near is a village on moorland, surrounded by rolling countryside and forests. I loved the vibe this gave off with the creepy, foggy, vast moor and forests, with cottages few and far between. I could picture the world so clearly and it felt like the perfect setting for this story. I also really liked the main characters and that bubbled along in the background of this story. And I could really empathise with how Lexi was struggling with how those around her were acting throughout this story.
Right now they take pieces of me with them.
Overall, this was a beautiful and haunting tale that I really enjoyed reading. It also had such an incredible atmosphere which I loved.

THE ARCHIVED SERIES
Currently consists of two books titled THE ARCHIVED (2013) and THE UNBOUND (2014), and a novella titled LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN (2015). These will be released as a box set (THE DARK VAULT) in August of 2018. V has said she would love to someday write her intended third book in this series (THE RETURNED) but because of contractual reasons that is not something she can do yet. As far as I know, these books are stand-alones and would be ok to read even without the last book, but don’t quote me on that because I haven’t read them yet *hides*
-> Stand-alones (?)
-> Series incomplete

Reviews for "The Allure of the White Witch Perfume: A Spellbinding Scent"
1. John - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the White Witch perfume. The scent was overpowering and gave me a headache. It was also a bit too floral for my taste. I was expecting a more subtle and elegant fragrance, but this was anything but. I won't be purchasing this perfume again.
2. Sarah - 3 stars
I have mixed feelings about the White Witch perfume. On one hand, I enjoyed the initial notes of citrus and vanilla. However, as the day went on, the scent became cloying and almost sickly sweet. It was too overpowering for my liking and it lasted way too long on my skin. I would have preferred a more balanced and lighter fragrance.
3. Mark - 2 stars
The White Witch perfume smelled like an old lady's perfume to me. It had a very strong and powdery scent that reminded me of my grandma. I was expecting something more modern and fresh, but this perfume missed the mark. Additionally, the staying power was not impressive as the scent faded away after just a few hours. I would not recommend this fragrance to others.
