In 1692, a disreputable young man named Kyle Edwards breaks his engagement by accusing his fiancee, Lilly Parris, of witchcraft.

Kyle is a liar; he does not believe in witchcraft, he is simply trying to get rid of Lilly. But Kyle is in for a shock because, as it turns out, Lilly really is a witch.

"Salem Burning" is a fast-paced, brand-new take on the Salem witch trials.

A cast of characters play out the dark drama that was Salem during its witch hunting time. The story plays that drama out, as it sets the stage for a second chapter to be told in the second book. Nicely done.

With a provocative cover and an interesting title, Salem Burning by Daniel Sugar presents the continuing story of a witch as she passes through interesting times from the 1500s to the 1700s. From the beginning of the story, the reader assumes this will be a story of witchcraft but only after several pages does the author develop the “witchery.” It develops slowly with the administration of a poison to Kyle while he sleeps. The poison does not kill but seduces Kyle into believing he is in love with the plain-looking Lilly. Sugar entices the reader with the promise of secrets to be soon revealed.

Kyle is blind to the fact of how plain-looking Lilly is by the drug administered. All might have been well if the stunningly beautiful Catherine had not appeared as a new immigrant to Salem. Kyle immediately begins to court Catherine although he is already betrothed to Lilly. Kyle has no problem dividing his attention between the ladies because their actions toward him are different. Catherine is shy, hesitant, and inexperienced. Kyle is adventuresome and wants to experiment but needs Lilly’s help. This is the first secret that Sugar reveals but I won’t reveal it here; it would be a spoiler.

Catherine eventually succumbs to suggestions from Kyle. Lilly, of course, knows about their relationship and, while not really accepting it, allows it. Why not? After all, Lilly’s wedding to Kyle is still on. Had Kyle broken off his relationship to Lilly before their wedding day, he might have gotten away with it. Announcing his new-found love for Catherine on his wedding day from an altar that should have hosted the wedding of Kyle and Lilly was too much for Lilly.

Making Lilly angry was not good. When Kyle tried to kill Lily through the corruption of legal procedures that would end in her death, Lilly’s opinion of Kyle decreased dramatically. Resolving this situation would take extraordinary powers. Luckily, Grandmother Rose was present to guide novice Lilly about the limitations of her powers.

This interesting tale with three or four surprises is hurt by a simplistic, almost high-school level of writing. I quote only one example to give a reader an idea of the writing style. “Finally, it was over, the screams died away and the wooden fort was no more. Magistrate Smythe smiled knowing that he had killed a large group of Wampanoag. He had killed their wives and children. He had burned their food and their clothing. He had completely eliminated them from the earth. He had done good work. God’s work.” (Kindle Locations 885-888).

There are positive sides to this style of writing. First, this is an entertaining and interesting story for those English language learners seeking stories in English that are not complicated in vocabulary or complex in the plot. Second, although there are descriptions of sexual behavior, the scenes are bland and chaste. I gave the story three Amazon stars because the surprises were well-paced and interesting. I felt the writing style was 10th-grade high school level.

Not much to the story and not very good character development. Wouldn't reccomend accept to young teens but there are some sexually explicit and violent scenes so definitely not good for teens either.

Can not call this great literature or historically correct but it was a quick enjoyable story. Lilly is a plain looking young lady wishing for marriage and a family but despaired of it happening. She is an orphan living with Grandma Rose in 17th century Salem. She saves the life of , handsome young man who ends up courting her and then betraying her. In order to get rid of her when he lusts after a more beautiful woman, he accused her of witchcraft. Turns out she really is a witch and while she is burned at the stake, her soul, her very essence survives. Revenge is had and it isn't pretty. I am definitely reading the entire series as I want to follow this witch through time.
