"From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes "The Witch", a chilling, twist-filled thriller about secrets--those we inherit, those we bury, and those people will burn to keep silent.

A brand-new, haunting thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid!

Some secrets don't die--they wait.

When Julia Barlow loses her job and her apartment, she has nowhere left to go but Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts. Officially, she's there to check in on her aging grandmother. Unofficially, she's hoping the old house will give her a place to disappear.

Instead, Pemberton begins to unravel her.

Every night, the grandfather clock stops at exactly 3:41 a.m. The lights flicker without warning. And a disembodied voice cries for help outside Julia's bedroom door.

As Julia digs into the house's dark history, she uncovers the story of a woman executed for witchcraft in 1692--and realizes the past may not be finished with Pemberton yet. When decades of family lies begin to surface, Julia must confront a terrifying truth: Pemberton may be haunted by women whose voices refuse to stay silent."

Thank you to everyone who came out for bookclub last night! Our next pick is "Tilt" by Emma Pattee! Please note, we will meet next on July 8th at 6:30pm due to the holiday the week prior. 🥂📚📖🥰

About the Book: "Last night, you and I were safe. Last night, in another universe, your father and I stood fighting in the kitchen."

Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there's nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she's determined to change her life. "Shocking and full of heart" (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Tilt is a "moving adrenaline rush" (The New York Times Book Review) and "epic odyssey" (NPR) about the disappointments and desires we all carry, and what each of us will do for the people we love.
