I received this book for free from Author, MTMC Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Hidden in the wild forests of the Appalachian Mountains is a school of magic…and mystery.
Ezra Bishop’s life crumbles apart after a devastating loss, sending her and her twin sister across the country to a prestigious boarding school for bloodline witches.
Atwood Preparatory Academy seems like an ideal place for the sisters to attempt to restart their lives, but it isn’t long before peace at the school is broken when one of the students goes missing.
One of many...
When someone close to her is threatened, Ezra is forced to face a mystery that has haunted the school for centuries. Unraveling the truth of the disappearances goes deeper than Ezra is prepared for, until she finds herself digging the grave of a terrorizing secret.
Forging a tense alliance with the Headmaster’s sons, Ezra may be better off on her own as she discovers the boys are harboring dangerous secrets of their own. But the enemy is already here, and as children continue to go missing, Ezra realizes that she has to lay everything on the line to protect those she cares about…even her life.

Why you need to read Garden of Witches
There’s a mother-shaped hole in my heart now and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to breathe again without feeling the ache of her.
Garden of Witches is a haunting tale about loss & the strength you need to move on. It is steeped in magic and witchcraft, full of mystery and darkness in every corner. And at its core, you can find two sisters desperately trying to survive in the unknown after your entire life falls apart the moment when you lose someone you love.
It’s a fantastic read & set in a magic school which will always be a setting hard not to love!
Oh, and this book is so full of amazing book quotes? Like every turn of the page I found myself highlighting so many passages to the point that I very much think half of the book is highlighted. Author Salem Sinclair has such a way with words and I wanted to share with you a few of the MANY passages you will find in Garden of Witches:
It was the dream that woke me.
I sensed the vestiges dwelling in the back of my mind but was unable to remember the details. It was akin to a sepia photograph burdened by time, barely visible in my mind’s eye.
Growing up with a person—watching them grow and age and become someone—you became as familiar with them as if they were a piece of you.
She wore lines gracefully around her mouth, for laughter found her easily and often despite her hardships.
Our house felt like its own brand of magic.
I wanted to take these days and press them between the pages of a book. Keep them safe, locked away in my memories forever. These perfect, beautiful summer mornings where nothing bad could go wrong.
Me feelings toward Noa were easy, simple, like breathing. I needed her the way I needed air to survive. She was sunny skies after a rain shower and flowers blooming in winter—impossibly pure and beautiful. Where I was the cloud, she was the silver lining.
This is it, I thought. This is where we began. This is where Mom ended.
Grief is a demon that controls you if you let it. No matter how hard you fight against the raging entity inside, it always finds an exit point eventually… and not always in ways you’d expect.
