Witch of the Black Circle

Maria DeVivo

4.17

When it comes to witchcraft, it's never just a teenage phase...

For as long as she can remember, high school senior Joephie Turner's mother has told her she is cursed by a witch. As she settles into her new hometown of Northport, Long Island at the height of the 1980s Satanic Panic era, Joephie is accepted into a circle of friends obsessed with the occult. Demonic messages on cassette tapes, shady youth group leaders, and passionate sexual encounters push the teen into a thrilling world that lends a deeper meaning to the proverbial mantra: ""sex, drugs, and rock and roll."" Until it all goes wrong.

A decade later, haunted by nightmares of cults and rituals, formidable burgeoning witch Joephie pieces her memories together in search of answers about the small group of suburban teens that meddled with dark forces. As an adult, Joephie will have to decide what, or who, she is willing to sacrifice from her past in order to claw her way back to sanity.

Inspired by true events, Witch of the Black Circle is a deliciously wicked and nostalgic journey through time where the lines of reality and the supernatural blur. Content warning: satanic rituals; sex; graphic violence; language; drug use

    This book is deliciously dark and twisted! It starts off seemingly innocent, but as the story continues, I really enjoyed the parallels of Jophie’s (Josephine’s) sexual lust and the dark murderous lust. The jump in time to adult Jo was a surprise but it was well executed and I enjoyed the concept of her losing memories and slowly regaining herself.
