About this book

Piers Corbin has always had an affinity for poisonous things—plants and men. From the pokeweed berries she consumed at age five that led to the accidental death of a stranger, to the husband whose dark proclivities have become . . . concerning, poison has been at the heart of her story.

But when she fakes her own death in an attempt to escape her volatile marriage and goes to stay with her estranged great aunt in the mountains, she realizes her predilection is more than a hunger—it's a birthright. Piers comes from a long line of poison eaters—Bane Witches—women who ingest deadly plants and use their magic to rid the world of evil men.

Piers sets out to earn her place in her family's gritty but distinguished legacy, all while working at her Aunt Myrtle's cafe and perpetuating a flirtation with the local, well-meaning sheriff to allay his suspicions on the body count she's been leaving in her wake. But soon she catches the attention of someone else, a serial killer operating in the area. And that only means one thing—it's time to feed.

In Ava Morgyn's dark, thrilling novel, The Bane Witch, a very little poison can do a world of good.

This is a fun one!

I really loved this one! I felt like I was reading an Alice Hoffman novel. It gets right into it, and doesn't start off slow. The main character is well developed, and it's a great story. Perfect for curling up with a blanket and a hot cup of tea. I couldn't put it down, and I'm so sad it's finished. I'll definitely be looking at more of Ava Morgyn's work. ) 2 people found this helpful

Amazing book but CHECK TRIGGERS!

***CHECK TRIGGER WARNINGS!*** I really enjoyed this book. It is a perfect representation of women seizing their power and not letting abusive, bad men dictate and control while still showing there are good men in the world. Very well written, I look forward to reading more from this author! ) 4 people found this helpful

Amazing Read

“We don’t fear men in this house, men fear us” Hooked from the very beginning and could not put The Bane Witch down. Don’t let the cover fool you, this is a dark mystery thriller. The concept for the plot is unique. Piers is a witch but doesn’t know it. What’s more is that she is a Bane Witch who can eat poisonous plants that regular people would die from. She doesn’t discover this until she escapes from her abusive husband to go find her aunt. From there Piers learns just who she really is and...
