V.E. Schwab’s The Near Witch

When: Released March 12^th

What: The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. 

If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. 

There are no strangers in the town of Near. 

These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. 

But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. 

The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. 

As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.

Why am I waiting for it: I know this is technically a re-release, but it’s hard not to be excited for this one. I love so much of Schwab’s writing and this book sounds gorgeous and haunting. Also, it contains a short story, which I am here for.

Has anyone else preordered this book or plans to get it when it comes out? ❤
