There is a continuing series focusing on the life of a witch who has chosen not to rest in peace even after death. This unconventional witch, known simply as Annabel, has captivated readers with her story. The narrative follows Annabel as she navigates the afterlife, now in an ethereal state, connected to the mortal world through her abilities and magic. The series delves into Annabel's life, both before and after her untimely death. We learn about her experiences as a young witch, her training, and her struggles to find her place in the magical community. Despite her immense power, Annabel possesses a unique personality that sets her apart from her fellow witches.
The Warrens had conducted a seance in a 300-year-old farmhouse on Round Top Road to rid it of supposed spirits haunting the Perron family in the early 1970s. The eldest daughter, Andrea Perron, wrote a memoir about the family’s experiences in the house: In “House of Darkness House of Light” she noted that the Warrens suggested that Bathsheba was the name of an entity disturbing the family.
The 2013 blockbuster horror movie, loosely based on the papers of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, yanked this simple woman out of the obscurity of the past. Mother Blackbeak tracked him down; she taunted him, informing him that she had killed his lover and that she would turn Manon into a monster before slaughtering him.
Despite her immense power, Annabel possesses a unique personality that sets her apart from her fellow witches. She is stubborn, independent, and fiercely determined, refusing to conform to the norms and traditions of the magical world. The central theme of the series revolves around Annabel's refusal to accept her death and move on.
Download Macbeth
Macbeth approaches the witches to learn how to make his kingship secure. In response they summon for him three apparitions: an armed head, a bloody child, and finally a child crowned, with a tree in his hand. These apparitions instruct Macbeth to beware Macduff but reassure him that no man born of woman can harm him and that he will not be overthrown until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane. Macbeth is greatly reassured, but his confidence in the future is shaken when the witches show him a line of kings all in the image of Banquo. After the witches disappear, Macbeth discovers that Macduff has fled to England and decides to kill Macduff’s family immediately.

1604 Come like shadows; so depart.
A show of eight kings, ⌜ the eighth king ⌝ with a glass in
his hand, and Banquo last.
MACBETH
1605 Thou art too like the spirit of Banquo. Down!
1606 Thy crown does sear mine eyeballs. And thy hair,
1607 Thou other gold-bound brow, is like the first.
1608 130 A third is like the former.—Filthy hags,
1609 Why do you show me this?—A fourth? Start, eyes!
1610 What, will the line stretch out to th’ crack of doom?
1611 Another yet? A seventh? I’ll see no more.
1612 And yet the eighth appears who bears a glass
1613 135 Which shows me many more, and some I see
1614 That twofold balls and treble scepters carry.
1615 Horrible sight! Now I see ’tis true,
1616 For the blood-boltered Banquo smiles upon me
1617 And points at them for his.
⌜ The Apparitions disappear. ⌝
1618 140 What, is this so?
FIRST WITCH
1619 Ay, sir, all this is so. But why
1620 Stands Macbeth thus amazedly?
1621 Come, sisters, cheer we up his sprites
1622 And show the best of our delights.
1623 145 I’ll charm the air to give a sound
1624 While you perform your antic round,
1625 That this great king may kindly say
1626 Our duties did his welcome pay.
Music. The Witches dance and vanish.
MACBETH
1627 Where are they? Gone? Let this pernicious hour
1628 150 Stand aye accursèd in the calendar!—
1629 Come in, without there.
LENNOX 1630 What’s your Grace’s will?
MACBETH
1631 Saw you the Weïrd Sisters?
LENNOX 1632 No, my lord.
MACBETH
1633 155 Came they not by you?
LENNOX 1634 No, indeed, my lord.
MACBETH
1635 Infected be the air whereon they ride,
1636 And damned all those that trust them! I did hear
1637 The galloping of horse. Who was ’t came by?
LENNOX
1638 160 ’Tis two or three, my lord, that bring you word
1639 Macduff is fled to England.
MACBETH 1640 Fled to England?
LENNOX 1641 Ay, my good lord.
MACBETH , ⌜ aside ⌝
1642 Time, thou anticipat’st my dread exploits.
1643 165 The flighty purpose never is o’ertook
1644 Unless the deed go with it. From this moment
1645 The very firstlings of my heart shall be
1646 The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
1647 To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and
1648 170 done:
1649 The castle of Macduff I will surprise,
1650 Seize upon Fife, give to th’ edge o’ th’ sword
1651 His wife, his babes, and all unfortunate souls
1652 That trace him in his line. No boasting like a fool;
1653 175 This deed I’ll do before this purpose cool.
1654 But no more sights!—Where are these gentlemen?
1655 Come bring me where they are.
They exit.

I couldn't stand "The ongoing series about a witch who refuses to rest in peace". The story felt incredibly repetitive and lacked depth. The main character's refusal to rest in peace quickly became tiresome and I found it difficult to empathize with her. The plot was predictable and nothing about the story kept me hooked or engaged. I was ultimately left disappointed and wouldn't recommend this series to anyone looking for an enjoyable and captivating read.
2. Jane Smith - ★★☆☆☆
"The ongoing series about a witch who refuses to rest in peace" started off promising, but failed to deliver in terms of character development and storyline. The protagonist felt one-dimensional and her refusal to rest in peace quickly became a tiresome plot point. The pacing was slow and the story lacked a clear direction, leaving me feeling lost and uninterested. While there were a few intriguing moments, overall, I found the series to be underwhelming and wouldn't continue reading or recommending it to others.
