Seventeen-year-old Evangeline is about to discover what is different about her. She has had suspicions all along, but it is not until an aunt she never knew about turns up that her life tumbles into an adventure. Now, she is in the northern wood… a place where nothing is as it seems, where the ancient house of Dragonspire shifts its rooms around, and an unknown evil lurks nearby.
All she wants are answers to her questions.
If she is not a witch, what is she?
What is the creature that continues to follow her to and from school?
Why has her mother never told her about her aunt until now?
Has the great inventor, Nikola Tesla, anything to do with it?
And most of all, what is really in the northern woods?
Thornewicke edition by Charity Bishop Religion Spirituality eBooks
Seventeen-year-old Evangeline lives a normal life. She goes to school with her friends, lives with her parents, and nothing exciting ever happens to her. Except for the terror that something is stalking her. Add to that the stunning news that her Aunt Henoria is still alive, and not only alive but wants her to visit, and Evangeline's life is set on a new course. What about her is so different? The normal life she has always led was merely a facade and Evangeline's magical talents rise to the surface as soon as she steps onto the borders of her aunt's property, Dragonspire. It is at Dragonspire that Evangline discovers the reality of who she really is, meeting the local minister Alistair, running into the great Nikola Tesla who lives down the road from Henoria's property, and especially, discovering just what True magic means. Evangeline discovers that the forest of Thornewicke is dying. It is being overrun by evil creatures determined to break the boundary of good that Henoria has set up against them. Evil is encroaching on good, and it must be stopped.I love speculative fiction. The possibilities of the world intrigue me, and it's always so much more fun that plain, boring reality. What Ms. Bishop has done with "Thornewicke" is craft a complex world of good and evil magic, all based on scriptural teachings, but without preaching. My favorite character in the entire book is Alistair. Don't get me wrong, I love Evangeline, and I ADORE that Ms. Bishop added Tesla as a character, but it is Alistair that won my heart. He is Henoria's guardian, her keeper, and he is helplessly in love with her. A godly man of virtue and high principles, Alistair is strong and everything a minister of the Gospel should be. I love him and Henoria together, even though they're not completely "together." It's a bittersweet relationship. Let's just say that Alistair came alive for me, and is by far my favorite of Ms. Bishop's male leads.
If you love speculative worlds, and are desperate for one with a Christian spin, then give "Thornewicke" a try. There aren't enough Christian books to satisfy my need for fantasy and speculative fiction, so I hope Ms. Bishop writes other books set in this world. Her world building is thorough and complete, and I love how she adds in those historic characters. Now to wait for her next book, "The Secret in Belfast", that takes place in the Titanic! Oh, the joys of anticipation!

Thornewicke edition by Charity Bishop Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
This book was even better than I had hoped! At the heart, it is the classic story of good verses evil. And yet, there is so much more to it.
I very much appreciated how the characters come alive and the depth of their conversations, especially when it comes to conversations about faith and God. It is so refreshing to have a book that is unique and well written. I look forward to reading more by this author!
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Ms. Bishop has indeed done it again for me. This is the kind of book I like to read on a cold winter's day with a cup of coffee in my hand. This was a fast paced adventure and I was happy to see the relationship between Henoria and Alistair, who were also in the Giftsnatcher, which was also one of my favorites.
Highly recommend this book for everyone to read.
I am looking forward to reading the next novel from Ms. Bishop )
He's watching me.
I assume it's a he... but I don't know for sure.
He's in the thicket by the gate.
At first, he just watched me from a distance. Then, he started to follow me to and from school.
Now, he's in our hedge.
The opening lines are intriguing but the plot really takes off once the lead character, 17-year-old Evangeline, reaches the mysterious Thornewicke village. The protagonists are charming, especially the village minister; while the villain of the piece is suitably creepy. This faith-based fantasy about the struggle between light and dark, good and evil is full of creative ideas and exciting battles.
Exactly the kind of book I enjoy reading, especially on a cold winters day with a cup of hot tea. I felt like I actually got to know the characters (some of them strangely reminded me of people I know), traveled to another time and place and got to immerse myself in a fantastical journey for a while. I especially loved the crossing of actual historical figures with fictional ones, their interactions were my favorite parts to read.
A highly recommended book for people who enjoy this kind of fiction!
This fast-paced novel can be read over a couple days. The atmosphere is perfect seventeen-year-old Evangeline goes to stay with her Aunt Henoria at the gloomy Thornewicke and learns that neither she nor her family is what they seem.
At its crux, this is a book exploring the battle between good and evil. Though the dialogue tends to get bogged down with sermonizing a few times, for the most part it’s snappy and the characters are all fleshed out, from Evangeline’s friend, Lena, to the inventor, Nikola Tesla. Evangeline must discover who she really is, who her aunt is, even who the seemingly-innocent Lena is in order to save herself and Thornewicke.
I would recommend this book to those who like darker books, or those with a spiritual meaning behind the story. Fans of C. S. Lewis would probably enjoy this story, as well as readers of Victorian stories.
I enjoyed this book. It reminds me of one of the Elemental Master books by Mercedes Lackey.
