Ms. Howe had me hooked all the way through part I but then things went comically down hill . . . the mystery surrounding the book was enough to keep readers interested. She didn’t need to travel the road she did.

Given subject matter of such promise, Deliverance Dane sure doesn’t deliver. Hard to imagine how a writer could make this boring, but she managed it. Save your money.

I had such hopes for this one. And I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did. It is written on a junior high school level and the ending just screams at you from the very beginning. Do NOT buy this one. Don’t even get from the library. Pure drivel.

This was a fantastic book! I absolutely loved the prose and circumspect of this novel! This book was filled with tidbits of historically accurate vernacular Magick! I fell in love with the characters! I sincerely hope Mrs. Howe writes another book on colonial Witchcraft and Magick! I am recommending this book to everyone I see!

This is one of the most poorly written and poorly edited book I have ever read. The number of events that conveniently occur are overwhelming. In addition, the inconsistencies weren’t even caught by the editor: For instance, the main character says she barely remembers her grandmother. But then she vividly recalls her grandmother knitting her a sweater. Swimming in Marblehead harbor on one moonless night, she “accidentally” swims into her love interest who just “accidentally” happened to be swimming there, too (and no one else is- give me a break). And even though she can’t see him in this dark night, she does see his nose ring sparkle in the moonlight. (How is this possible when it was so dark she couldn’t even see him in the water?) It is annoying to have a book like this marketed to the public when it is so poorly written.
