With the exception of a couple chapters at the beginning and end (and only because I have a family to take care of and a day job) I darn near devoured this book in a single sitting.
I’m in my early 30s now, and YA fiction doesn’t always capture me the way it used to. It’s hard to find the protagonists relatable when they are half your age.
But this book. Man… This book sucked me in. I wanted to do nothing but read it.
The story was well written and engaging. There were little twists and turns through the whole thing, and while I never claim to be the kind of person who can smell a plot twist from a mile away, the twist at the end of this book really truly and genuinely caught me by surprise.
A great book to get lost in, cozied up under a blanket with a hot tea. High recommend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, fantasy, magic, and mystery.

The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another 5 star book for me!
You ever finished a book and hated the author because that is NOT how the story was supposed to go? This was that for me.
Fast paced (if I wasn't reading this for October book club I would have had this done in probably less than a week).
I can't wait to pick up the second one.
Seriously if you like witchy magical things this book will keep you guessing.
