This sounds like a good read. I am intrigued by the level that the main protagonist is able to go in order to redeem his family from the magic. Thanks for the review. I hope that the author will look at the issues raised such as the number of children.

I am not a fan of paranormal literature. It gives me the creeps sorry to say. I did, however, enjoy the review. Thanks.

Not all genres are for everyone. This one is actually more of his devotion to his family than the paranormal, but it is definitely more niche than others. Thanks for commenting!

He is so devoted to his family and getting his life back--it is that determination that is admirable. Another round or two of editing will definitely make the score better for future reviews. Thanks for coming by!

I have always been interested in knowing about witchcraft. I would love to know what explanation the author wrote when he is tried defending the fact that all witches aren't evil, contrary to popular opinion. Good review.

I was raised to accept everyone, a very hippie-like notion. The idea of evil is also addressed in Maguire's Wicked. Even though Maguire writes fiction, it is a fascinating parallel.

I was afraid it might be something unenjoyable. The topic is controversial and memoirs are hit or miss for me, but I have no regrets with this one.

Thanks for coming by!

I feel pity that the family go for hoodoo or voodoo to find the solution of their problems instead of opting the right choices that lead to right consequences. Thanks for this honest review.

The saddest part of that is the wife did it on her own and didn't talk to her husband. Luckily it all worked out. Thanks for coming by!

The inconsitensies in tge gender of the children seems bothersome. However, I like the premise of the book.

Thank you for the great review.

This sounds like a very informative book about witchcraft despite the limitations. I like paranormal themes - I'm intrigued!

Thank you for the great review.
At least it is just the one mention of one child being a son instead of switching back and forth constantly. Small blessings!

Thank you taking the time to read my review and comment!
