Bernice is a witch with many skeletons in her closet. She has an addictive personality, works as a holistic therapist, and struggles to maintain any intimate relationships. Her spells are not always as accurate as they could be, often the result of her having a few too many goblets of red wine. When mysterious letters start appearing at her door, she begins to think about her childhood and, with the help of her long-suffering friend Maggie, tries to come to terms with her past and the family she left behind. But nothing in Bernice's life is ever simple...

Powerful writing, seductively alluring.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2015

This is the tale of Bernice, a complex practising witch in contemporary Glasgow – the first in what promises to be an exciting series, aimed at an adult audience. We follow the path Bernice travels through life and memory, as she seeks to align mistakes of the past with ways of coming to terms with them in the present, in order to bringing healing forward into the future. In an expressively imaginative world of fiction, inspired by an ancient approach to spirituality, Cathie Devitt invokes a tactile and colourful world expressed in striking images: the sea, coffee-like at one extreme, inky at the other in the beginning recurs as a metaphor for all that is both paradoxically healing and fatal, for instance. The novel has all the mysterious allure and dangerous destructive power of a sleeping tornado – it hits you when and where you least expect it. Matching masterful artistry in terms of the craft of writing with hard-to-pin-down magic, Cathie Devitt weaves her words like a binding spell, bringing the words to life in you.

A tale of a gutsy, modern-day witch, set in Scotland

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2015

With a cat called Hex and a silver pentacle round her neck, it’s clear from the start that Bernice is deeply in tune with the magical. Despite her witchiness, (or maybe because of it), she lives and loves with the best of them in the city of Glasgow, where she has fled from her birthplace, on the west coast of Scotland. The characters in the book range through all shades of good, bad and ugly, keeping the pace lively, the action being interspersed with Bernice’s sadness at the loss of a baby, which goes some way to illuminate the complexities of her relationships. She’s a complicated character, but one I enjoyed travelling with on her journey back to the beach, where it all began.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2018

I greatly enjoyed this novel. Cathie Devitt has a lightness of touch in her writing - as well as a touch of magic. The story zipped along and I am only too glad to see there are more books in this series.

a cultural adventure, spiced with mystery

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2015

Bernice is a appealing protagonist, backed by a memorable set of supporting characters who captivated me from (almost) the very start. I needed a few pages to get into the story but once I did - I couldn't put it down.

The backdrop being contemporary Glasgow, and the plot a mix of detective story and spiritual chick-lit, this is a good read for anyone interested in a peek into the lives of others. A cultural adventure, spiced with a bit of mystery.
