I recently blogged about the last book in the Witching Savannah trilogy. This book, while called the 4th book is actually a prequel to the other three. This book is essentially the biography of Mother Jilo, the Hoodoo Root doctor featured in the series. The Taylor family who are the focus of the trilogy have only a small part in this story. Jilo is one of a family of magic practitioners who was born with powerful magic. However, her grandmother tried to shield her from her powers and Jilo grows up knowing nothing of her abilities. It is only when evil threatens her and her family
that she takes up the mantle of magic worker and becomes Mother Jilo to the city of Savannah. This episode was better than the third book but still seemed to be lacking something I can't quite explain.
