But an unfortunate incident involving her fiance Bastien results in Elena being cursed for seven years, although she is finally able to break the curse through sheer determination.įinding her way back home to her beloved Chateau Renard after breaking the curse, Elena is shocked to find out that she’s been gone for so long. She’s always lived at the Chateau Renard in the Chanceaux Valley in France, taught the art of magic by her Grande-Mère from the time she was a young girl. I did have a few issues, mostly in the second half, but overall I enjoyed Smith’s debut and I’m anxious to read the next book in the series.Įlena Boureanu is a vine witch, someone able to use magic to grow vines that produce the best wine in the valley. I don’t know much about wine, but I have a feeling that readers who do are really going to connect with a lot of the elements in this story. October is the perfect month for stories about witches, and The Vine Witch is an atmospheric tale that, while very light on spooky elements, offers plenty of magic and witchy folklore. The nitty-gritty: A touch of romance blended with a magical tale of witches and wine, The Vine Witch was a pleasant surprise. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
