Overall, I thought that the book had a choppy rhythm, and I had a tough time getting past it. I wasn’t fully convinced that Cate inhabited a world filled with afternoon tea socials, calling cards, and petticoats. The rather abrupt shifting between wording that was supposed to be contemporary with the book’s setting and more modern sounding language became distracting to me after a while. The book’s narration attempts to capture a manner of speaking consistent with its time period, but it doesn’t always succeed. I just couldn’t buy into this world, and there wasn’t enough magic to really draw me into the story. I had high hopes for Born Wicked, which is set in an alternate version of late 19th century New England, but I ended up disappointed. Review: Because I love a good historical fiction read every once in a while, books set in a historic time period with a paranormal twist to them are especially appealing to me. A mysterious letter warning her that she and her sisters are in great peril leads Cate to find her mother’s diary and with it a shocking prophecy that could tear her family apart.
Since her mother’s death, Cate has assumed responsibility for protecting her younger sisters, but this is not an easy task, especially with Cate quickly approaching the age at which she will either have to get married or enter a convent and join the Sisterhood.
They are witches living in a community that punishes those suspected of using magic by sentencing them to hard labor on a prison ship or shipping them off to an asylum. To Sum It Up: Cate Cahill and her sisters are hiding a dangerous secret. Born Wicked (The Cahill Witch Chronicles #1)
