Stepford meets Witches of Eastwick...
The Witches of Eastwick meets Desperate Housewives in Susie
Moloney's The Thirteen, her new and long-awaited novel. Haven Woods is suburban heaven, a great place to raise a
family. It's close to the city, quiet, with great schools
and its own hospital right up the road. Property values are
climbing. The streets are clean, people keep their yards
really nicely. It's fairly pet friendly, though barking dogs
are not welcomed. The crime rate is practically
non-existent, unless you count the odd human sacrifice,
dismemberment, animal attack, demon rape and blood atonement. When Paula Wittmore goes home to Haven Woods to care for a
suddenly ailing mother, she brings her daughter and a pile
of emotional baggage. She also brings the last chance for
twelve of her mother's closest frenemies, who like to keep
their numbers at thirteen. And her daughter, young,
innocent, is a worthy gift to the darkness. A circle of friends will support you through bad times. A
circle of witches can drag you through hell.
