具體描述
It begins with absence and desire. It begins with blood and fear. It begins with a discovery of witches. When historian Diana Bishop opens an alchemical manuscript in the Bodleian Library, it's an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordered life. Though Diana is a witch of impeccable lineage, the violent death of her parents while she was still a child convinced her that human fear is more potent than any witchcraft. Now Diana has unwittingly exposed herself to a world she's kept at bay for years; one of powerful witches, creative, destructive daemons and long-lived vampires. Sensing the significance of Diana's discovery, the creatures gather in Oxford, among them the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, a vampire genticist. Diana is inexplicably drawn to Matthew and, in a shadowy world of half-truths and old enmities, ties herself to him without fully understanding the ancient line they are crossing. As they begin to unlock the secrets of the manuscript and their feelings for each other deepen, so the fragile balance of peace unravels...

##研究supernatural的曆史學傢寫的女巫小說。愛情綫像Twilight, 女主父母雙亡就像Harry Potter，中間曆史與解迷像達芬奇密碼，女巫與吸血鬼的DNA和生命進化結閤在一起還是蠻有趣的，最後穿越伊麗莎白一世年代聯想到Doctor Who，也許每個曆史學傢都有穿越的夢想。但是閱讀過程當中覺得描述性的文字比較纍贅，還加入瞭大量古代方言，拉丁文之類的，這些都影響閱讀進度。
##我想棄書瞭 。。。好老套的劇情
##腦袋裏全程浮現古迪老師的帥氣小臉纔得以堅持看完，為瞭古迪老師～～
##Bought this audio book by accident and finished it while working, not bad for listening when you are really bored...
##彆看頂著女巫的外皮，其實就是個作天作地的糾結型小言女主……
##要不是馬修·古迪好看的讓我膝蓋發軟，我是絕對不能堅持看完的，明明10個chapter就能寫完的東西竟然寫瞭43章，完全起點文風啊。
##🔮魔法強大，讓我又開始讀原版係列瞭，上次一套還是哈利波特，納尼亞那套有點淺擱置瞭，之後要把魔戒三部麯讀完，誰讓作者是語言學傢呢！哦喲跑偏瞭……這套作者是南加州大學曆史教授寫的，最近英劇開播，也是讓我來讀原著的動力！當然，小說是第一人稱敘述，英劇編劇肯定不同角度修改，還是會有不同感受滴，總之，又能過把魔法癮瞭！🔮
##簡直是guilty pleasure..看不下去瞭，還是等著看古迪吧...
節奏太拖拉，跳著看的，五章能湊一集劇就不錯瞭……妥妥的古早瑪麗蘇，牛津部分還湊閤(吸血鬼還做瑜伽笑死)，去法國金屋藏嬌大麵積崩壞簡直沒眼看，僅一些背景和書袋還算有趣。無法腦補馬修古德演法國人。IB蜀黍的博士論文寫的也是女巫，不由好奇他老人傢會怎麼寫女巫小說……希望劇組能強力改編扭轉局麵吧
