Every summer since the drowning, on the anniversary of their deaths, the spirits of the three sisters wait for teenage girls to enter the water and then they inhabit their bodies until the summer solstice. They were disliked immediately because of the way the townsmen fawned all over them and eventually they were accused of being witches and drowned in the town’s harbor. Two centuries ago, beautiful sisters Marguerite, Aurora, and Hazel Swan moved to Sparrow. Set in the cursed town of Sparrow, Oregon, The Wicked Deep is a story of revenge. I’ll try to elaborate on that without giving away any major spoilers… That said, however, it was also the kind of read that had me yelling at the characters as I was reading because I just couldn’t believe some of the things I was reading. The Wicked Deep is an atmospheric and engaging read - I read it easily in about a day. ![]() ![]() So, did it live up to expectations? Well, yes and no. I’ve always been drawn to books that feature witches, so as soon as I saw its alluring synopsis promising “ Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic meets the Salem Witch trials,” Shea Ernshaw’s debut novel, The Wicked Deep, quickly became one of my most anticipated reads of 2018.
