“The Near Witch” is only an old story told to frighten children.
If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company.
There are no strangers in the town of Near.
These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life.
But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true.
The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion.
As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.
Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab’s debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won’t soon forget.
This new edition of The Near Witch also included the in-universe short story “The Ash-Born Boy” and a never-before-seen introduction from V. E. Schwab.

Jag började på boken men detta går inte. Uppläsaren är för mig katastrof för läsupplevelsen. Ledsen för det

Hade fått högre betyg om inte uppläsaren betonat så underligt. Kunde till slut bara höra get det och inget annat...

En udda bok, också lite udda uppläst. Intressant. Man får ge den tid.

Gräsligt dålig uppläsning, entonig och malande. Handlingen lyfter aldrig utan bara går runt, runt utan meningsfulla händelser. Jag har verkligen försökt, men bryter vid 1,5 tim.

Listened to the first hour but the reader ruined it for me. It sounds as if she is reading a never ending list. No body actually talks like this. Shame as it potentially a great book

Helt okej, förutsägbar och dåliga beskrivningar av omgivning och karaktärer osv vilket gjorde den lite tråkig. Men mysig berättelse med en liten by och häxor 👍🏻

Loved the book, but the narrator sounds like a robot.
