Witchwood Estate - Book review
Things take a turn, however, when a handsome stranger arrives in Ferntree Falls , and Alexandria
For all those young at heart - an equal measure of both Magic and Evil.
If you have read book 1 and 2, it is time to continue the journey with Alexandria
Special features: Book contains index of Witches Terminology, Spells, Character list, Birthstones meanings, and the Witches' Pantry.
Grab your broomstick/dustbuster out of the closet and come along for a magical ride!
Voice: smooth storytelling, trance-inducing, the kind that seeps into your brain and surreptitiously replaces reality with a fantastic life you couldn't help but want to be a part of.
Plot: Oh, how many possibilities! From a simple intro and clear focus, the action picks up and threads of intrigue, mystery and hidden threats begin to weave into the main fabric. As more characters are introduced, their purpose and intent are implied, understood, twisted and finally revealed to be something no one could have foreseen. There are enough twists in there for at least another ten books! And I want to read them all.
Characters: perfectly formed, from the smallest secondary role to the protagonist. Alexandria is the kind of best friend all of us need. Andrew is so sweet, and his character has so much yet-untapped potential. Then, there is black magic, and shape-shifters, and ghosts.
Extras: Flick through the pages, and you'll find spells Alexandria has inherited from her mother. There are illustrations accompanying the spells, with lists of ingredients, method, verses and chants to make the spells work. Patti Roberts' artistic abilities are well-known, but still, this is a very inspired little detail that adds depth and value to the story.
Emotion: The author's ability to share a character's emotion is incredible. Living as an outcast, or at least someone different, comes across very well at the beginning of this series, and is presented with a kindness not many people are capable of. My eyes teared up because I could imagine or identify with many of the sentiments the characters were dealing with, even in this limited portion of the story.
The overall effect is of being at one with the book. Flawless in every way, the writing is exceptional. I fell head-first into the magic and I can't wait to see where the story is heading next. A beautiful, modern tale about a witch and what it takes to make your own way in life. This is a six-star book, at the very least.

High praise for the new Witchwood Estate series - Book review by Ella Medler
I have a confession to make. I have put off writing this review for what feels like eternity, and I still don't think I'm ready. You see, my problem is that I don't ...trust myself to do these books justice. When you find an author with a style so perfect, so entrancing, that you know full well you'd read their shopping list if that's what they decided to publish, what could you say to make a difference?
Voice: smooth storytelling, trance-inducing, the kind that seeps into your brain and surreptitiously replaces reality with a fantastic life you couldn't help but want to be a part of.
Plot: Oh, how many possibilities! From a simple intro and clear focus, the action picks up and threads of intrigue, mystery and hidden threats begin to weave into the main fabric. As more characters are introduced, their purpose and intent are implied, understood, twisted and finally revealed to be something no one could have foreseen. There are enough twists in there for at least another ten books! And I want to read them all.
Descriptions: original and just right for forming the right picture. I felt as if I knew my way around, right there, in the story.
Extras: Flick through the pages, and you'll find spells Alexandria has inherited from her mother. There are illustrations accompanying the spells, with lists of ingredients, method, verses and chants to make the spells work. Patti Roberts' artistic abilities are well-known, but still, this is a very inspired little detail that adds depth and value to the story.
Emotion: The author's ability to share a character's emotion is incredible. Living as an outcast, or at least someone different, comes across very well at the beginning of this series, and is presented with a kindness not many people are capable of.

Oh, what a treat this book is! Patti has such a good story-telling voice, there’s no way you can resist her. I could read Patti’s books again and again and again, in an uninterrupted cycle. They make you dream, they make you imagine unusual... worlds, they hold an impossible amount of magic. Absolutely love this book. Ella Medler on Witchwood Estate.
This is an amazing book that draws you into Alexandria's world from the very first word. Great read for teens and adults alike! The magnificent descriptions of people and places makes you feel like you are there every step of the way. I couldn't put my kindle down until the last word was read. I am excited and cannot wait to begin the next book. Patti Roberts, you have a wonderful way with words.
5.0 out of 5

What a delightfully magical read! For the young at heart or others who
don't fear to dream. I enjoyed it so much! The wonderfully created world that
you have so vividly written is easily envisaged! 5 stars PattiWhat a magical read ! The only problem it will leave you wanting more like any tv series does.
Witchwood Estate - Is book one in this new Tv series type story , and it is filled with such wonderful Imagery, a world full of Magic and possibility. And certainly intrigue. A fun short read , for all those who enjoy a lighter read, with wonderfully written characters and a charismatic storyline.
This series is For the young at heart or others who don't fear to dream, and Patti has certainly created a world that you can be pulled within and a storyline and descriptions that are easily envisaged.
It is only a short read that can be read in under an hour. Ideal for that afternoon quick read, or when your feeling like something short yet fulfilling .
I look forward to the next installment.

This story pulls you in and makes you smile when the character does; feel
anxious about impending danger, and cringe at the evil the dark characters
manifest. Rooting for our Alexandria from the first page. This promises to be a
great series. Patti Roberts does it again! Read more

There is something very evil lurking in the woods surrounding Witchwood Estate... Whimsical, "TV" length episodes in an ongoing series. Witches, spells, ghosts, sprites, shape-shifters, wolves and more... For all those young at heart... Equal measure of both Magic and Evil.
Alexandria Santorini learns as a child that she comes from a long line of Harvey witches. Now, as a teenager, Alexandria must say goodbye to Catnip Cottage and the Barnabys, her loving guardians for the last twelve years, and go home to Ferntree Falls to claim her inheritance. Witchwood Estate. The home where she was born and her parents were murdered. Her journey home becomes somewhat sinister, however, when she discovers that there are those who have other plans for her and her new friends…
