Loved it! Great story telling and can’t wait for the next one!

This book was wonderful! I very much enjoyed reading about the characters discovering themselves. The way the author developed the characters and story have left me excited for the next book. This is a book I will share with others.

This was such a pleasant surprise! It really has nothing to do with Venco which is just a corporate front for the head coven known as The Oracle.

It's much more about a young woman named Lucky discovering she's a witch, finding her coven, and taking a road trip with her forgetful grandmother, so they can find the final 7th prophesied witch--all while an ancient witch hunter is tracking them.

But it's not too heavily fantasy--these witches very much exist in the real world. They get drunk at dive bars and stay in crappy motels and drink lots of coffee. Also, there's magic spoons.

I had a really good time reading this, and would be delighted to see a screen adaption or a follow-up book.

That was so fun! Ms. Dimaline writes great women, great mystical and great stories. This was a whole lot of all of these, which I read by audio book. Ordinarily, I make myself wait til I'm driving to listen to these but I just couldn't turn it off! Thank you for writing this great story! I hope their journey continues.
