Description from the publisher:
Just south of Tupelo, Mississippi, on the Natchez Trace lies a place of mystery called Witch Dance.

When Thomas and Margaret Speedwell took their twins to Witch Dance for a weekend camping trip, they never imagined they would be pulled into a vortex of witchcraft, tragedy, and karma.  One of the girls goes missing; the other won’t say what happened on the other side of the hill.  
The tragedy pulls together a cast of characters from Margaret’s childhood and beyond - Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, Toltec ancestors, the extinct Hopewell tribe. 

With the help of a childhood friend, a concerned newspaper reporter, and visions by a strange old woman, a 2,000-year-old mystery begins to unfold, uncovering missing children throughout generations.  Who is taking them?  Could it be the infamous witches of Witch Dance?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WITCH DANCE is a standalone story of modern paranormal suspense rooted in historical lore.

I loved the way that the ancient story of Chickasaw Indians was weaved with the modern story of the missing child, Sarah.  A loved the juxtaposition of ancient history mixed with supernatural story telling.  The best part is that these are real places and real history.  Don’t you love when an author starts with what’s real and starts playing with it?  I know I do.

If expanding on history and legends is Lori Crane’s playground, I would love to spend more time listening to her books.

Narration:  Sarah Colton did a good job.  Not great, but good.  Her reading is slow paced, clear, and natural.  On the other hand, I think she needs to be a little more animated during the dramatic portions.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy from the author via Audio Boom, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
