    About this audiobook

    Freya Beauchamp has been kidnapped and sucked into the past, forced to relive the horrors of Salem and return to the witch-burning hysteria that gripped the small Massachusetts town. Freya’s family is determined to save her, but the Passages of Time are closed to the Beauchamp family, leaving them stuck in the present. Joanna, Freddie, and Ingrid must find another way back to save Freya before it's too late. Because this time, when Freya is hanged, she's not coming back… ever. The Beauchamps are sure that their nemesis, the trickster god Loki, is behind Freya's kidnapping - but is the witch hunt just a way for the power-seeking Putnam family to settle scores and consolidate their hold on the lands and power in town?

      This one was a pretty fun, light read. Not one of my favorites (hence the 4 stars), but I really enjoyed it overall. Not a book to be taken very seriously or to analyze in-depth (it'll leave you disappointed if that's the way you decide to approach it). Easy afternoon read and pleasantly enjoyable if the "witchy" genre is your thing.
    • 5/5
      A wonderful fun read. I didn't read the earlier books in the series but I enjoyed this book.

      This was an enjoyable book. I went and got the DVD of the first season when I read the book. Now I need to read the earlier books in the series and also watch the second season on dvd.
    • 5/5
      No ?, because of the emotional turmoil of Salem ....

      In the 2nd book of the series, Freya was whisked back to Salem to relive her death by hanging as a witch.... Her love, Killian goes back after her in order to save her.....

      Her brother Freddie (Fyre) goes back to the depths after his Trident, but alas that is a trap..... Her parents Joanna & Norman go to great lengths (visiting the Oracle) in order to save her..... Her sister & Thor also go back to Salem in order to save her....... Killian's, brother Loki also goes back to try and help Freya.......

      Many life sacrifices are made to save Freya Goddess of Love...... All because of a selfish, personal grudge..... That's all I'm going to tell you!

      My only hesitation here was reading about the Salem Witch trials..... Useless bigotry, jealousy, hatred, & greed tend to upset me deeply, so I marked this book down a ?. Once I got into the story, it was a fast easy & interesting read, with many twists and turns. In the end I was very satisfied..... I couldn't find a hint of what if anything will follow. I'll say should nothing more be forthcoming, then this is a very satisfying conclusion!
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed the book, but I think the first is still my favorite. Parts of this volume were a bit choppy. I did like the history aspect of the book though and seeing what things were like back in Salem. I wish we'd gotten to see more into the character Freddie. I feel like we barely grazed the surface of who he was and then it was over. I like how things ended for Freya and Ingrid but I can't say I'm happy with the endings for Freddie, Joanna or Norman. And I wish some questions that were raised in book 2 would have been addressed prior to the ending of the series. All in all, if you're a fan of the series you will enjoy it, so give it a read.
    • 3/5
      This one has been languishing on the TBR pile for some time. I had read Witches of East End when it first came out and enjoyed it but thought it was a stand-alone. When Serpent's Kiss came out I bought it more out of a finish-what-you-start mentality than "ooo want, want!" but I still really enjoyed it. And of course, if I've already read 2 then really, shouldn't I get the third one? But this one involved time travel and I'm not a fan of time travel. Hence, the languishing. But I'm off work for school holidays and my TBR pile is starting to make growly noises so I'm ruthlessly picking them off, one book at a time and Winds of Salem was today's victim. In spite of the whole time travel/alternate time line thing going on here, I found this to be a fast, entertaining, easy read, easily accomplished in an afternoon. Norse mythology still feels novel to me, although I suspect this is a rather mangled version. The plot than runs through all three books is wound up here and tied into a neat little bow, so I feel like the author is ending this at a trilogy. Even if she isn't, I am. I enjoyed it but I didn't love it. Also, while the author wasn't at ALL graphic or detailed about it: I am not a fan of threesomes in my books - especially ones that involve brothers. Just personal preference. Still, if you enjoy Practical Magic (movie version) type of magic, want something light, fun and breezy and stumble across these books at your UBS or library, it might be fate. ;)

      I finally finished a trilogy!!!!

      And while I did enjoy the conclusion to the Beacuahmp saga, something felt...missing in this one. Everything was wrapped up, all the story lines had meshed together and everyone got an ending. However, it didn't seem as good as the last two. I can't really put it into words without going into major spoilers which would just be rehashing the plot and nitpicking which I don't really want to do.

      I liked the parallel story lines between Freya stuck in historical Salem, and the switch backs to the rest of the family in the modern world trying to figure out how to save her while dealing with their own problems and love lives.

      There seemed to be a hell of a lot going on in each of the different story lines, and the switching view points were switching a lot. Towards the end everything seemed to be rather rushed and convenient to make things right again.

      A decent ending, but I think it could have been better maybe stretched into four books rather than smooshed together into a rushed ending of a trilogy.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy this series, but also find it very frustrating. Though this is marketed for adults, it really is YA. The only difference is that none of the main characters are teenagers. This installment picks up right after the cliffhanger of the previous book where Freya was "kidnapped" and taken back in time to Salem at the height of the witch trials.The story opens with Freya, and she doesn't remember who she is, or why she is in so much danger. She's just discovering her powers and also finds herself the focus of two mens' attentions. Sound familiar? Aside from mentioning her 'gifts', the parts in the past actually read like historical fiction more than paranormal. The author did her research, and the time period feels authentic and the story flowed well. Where the book becomes frustrating is when we switch back to her family in the present time.Ingrid runs into an old flame (a god I've been wondering about since book 1!) which throws her feelings for Matt into a tizzy. Angst. Freddie is having marital problems with Gert. More angst. Joanna is involved in a crisis trying to get Tyler into a good kindergarten so he won't be bullied while rekindling her relationship with Norm. Yep, even more angst. It's all too easy for readers to forget that all of these people are supposedly worried about Freya potentially being hanged back in 1600's Salem. None of the characters take any concrete action beyond the emotional drama until near the end of the book. And so the conclusion felt incredibly rushed as the pacing kicked into overdrive. Then the author proceeds to tell (instead of show) that all the relationships are suddenly a-okay. *sigh*I still like these characters, and I love how the story ended (especially for Freya), but I really wish the author would dial back the relationship angst and put more into plot resolution. This book is flawed, but I enjoyed it despite that. I will read the next book, and hope some of these issues go away. Recommended.
