In 1792 Salem Massachusetts, Bridget Goodwell is preparing for her wedding to her friend Peter Holton. Though her future seems set, all is not what it seems. She has the power to set things on fire. Just three weeks to go for her wedding and her childhood friend Benjamin Hawkes sails back into town and puts everything Bridget thought she wanted in peril.
The story was a little slow to get into. The prologue didn’t read true to the 1600 speech but once we get to the “current” time the book picked up a bit. There were some slow parts throughout and they became frustrating. Even with the pacing issues the book was enjoyable. Seeing the relationship between Bridget and Benjamin what made the story.
I think the most frustrating part for me was the conflict wasn’t really a conflict. It seems like this book and maybe the next book will lead to the big confrontation in the third book. I am not sure that I like that. It means the books don’t stand alone because you really need to read all of them to get the whole story. There was a lot of build up about the curse but it’s just kind of sitting there waiting.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next book in the series. Here’s hoping there are some more answers in that book.
