Cooke has concocted a spellbinding novel that bubbles over with gothic atmosphere, thriller vibes and the perfect amount of supernatural elements. Me: Ah well then I have just the thing! May I suggest The Lighthouse Witches? C.J. I usually read thrillers like those by Lisa Jewell, Clare Mackintosh, and Sharon Bolton.

You: I don’t really love fantasy “hocus pocus” paranormal books, and the witches that interest me most are of the 1600’s “burnt at the stake” variety. ![]() Me: Can you be more specific? What kind of witches? Scary/not scary? Who are your typical favorite authors? I need a page-turner that gives me all the right vibes for October seasonal reading. ![]() ![]() I’m in the mood for a story about witches. You: Hey Regina, you seem to read a lot of books. ![]()
