Synopsis via Goodreads
In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived.
The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family's sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back.
On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she's sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family and into an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all...
HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR?
The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie's life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you'll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself.
And it is only the beginning.

Sounds interesting especially since it's kind of about The Salem Witch Trials. ^_^

This I KNOW I'll like! I love books that use historical events to base the story around and I have been interested in the witch trials for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting! (:
I heard about this book a while back, but I've REALLY been wanting to read it ever since she had the character chat on Twitter a few days ago. After that, I went on Goodreads and read up on it and it sounds like such an interesting and unique read. Thanks for the chance to win!!!
