See No Evil

Rating:
Summary: WACKY WICCAS
Review: If you really want spooky witch stories, try "Wither", a terrific novel about witchcraft; or watch two great old movies, "Burn Witch Burn" with Janet Blair or "Horror Hotel"with Christopher Lee. Those were great witch stories.
Barbara Shapiro's "See No Evil" is one of those plodding books where you can predict almost every move the heroine, Lauren Freeman, will make. She's separated from her philandering husband, Todd, and takes care of precocious and rather bad little boy, Drew. Her best friend, Jackie, gets her involved in writing a book stating how important witchcraft was in shaping Colonial life in the 17th century. The book opens with seven witches in the 17th century vowing to return every 101 years and do the same type of shenanigans they are doing now, and eventually, in 1995, they will become immortal. So if you like silly reincarnation stories, this one's for you. There's little suspense; Lauren behaves like a nincompoop. Her affair with the handsome and successful Gabe leads exactly where you know it will. Not a good entry in the witch series.
NOT RECOMMENDED.
