A Discovery of Witches

Urgh. This is quite possibly the worst book i've read in a long time. Firstly it's not a story about witches or magic it is a witch-vampire romance and a pedestrian one at that. It's the usual over bearing and controlling vampire with a passive witch. The real shame is the missed potential to tell a really good story. But instead it got lost in describing the romance and the unnecessary historical detail. I struggled for three weeks to get through it and it wasn't enjoyable. The only highlights were the witches house which has a character of its own and Tabitha the cat. They were enough to earn one star. But unfortunately neither are good enough for me to recommend anyone to read this.
