A Discovery of Witches

I quickly read through this book. I loved all the references to food and drink as well as a lot of the references to history and literary works.

The author keeps the story moving along and while it is in the same vein as the Twilight Series and The Vampire Diaries it more intellectual parts and adult thoughts and pastimes. I liked that there were three “monsters” with the witches, vampires and daemon who live in the same world as humans but hidden in plain site. The interactions between the species was interesting and I'm looking forward to getting to know each species more in future books and where the conflicts lead.
