Also, I can‘t compare both books, since Stephen King is adult horror and Alexis Henderson is Young Adult horror – it‘s still gory but with far less details. But this time the cover and the blurb of The Year of the Witching convinced me to try another author for Halloween time. Usually, I like to compare my spooky reads with Stephen King novels, since his work is basically all the spooky books I read. It all sounded promising for a good spooky Halloween read and in my opinion, it was a good, spooky Halloween read. A potential love interest that is loyal but situated in the team of the enemy. A heroine, whose mother dies at her birth, stumbles into her destiny blindly. The Year of the Witching sets the mood right: a village in which a priest reigns, surrounded by his Harem of women sudden paranormal happenings, followed by various plagues. To stop them from happening, Immanuelle has to figure out who she really is. The girl follows the ram and experiences something that brings Bethel the plagues. One day she is supposed to sell the family‘s ram, which escapes from Immanuelle‘s grip and flees into the supposedly cursed Darkwoods. Immanuelle lives in Bethel with her grandparents, her aunt Anna and her nieces Hope and Grace. Put The Year of the Witching on your Goodreads shelf. Disclaimer: I read this book after Sci-Fi masterpiece Dune, so keep that in mind.
