I really enjoyed this book. After coming off a long run of subpar YA novels this was a breath of fresh air. It was nothing special as far as the mystery/supernatural aspects, I figured out the "twist" less than half way through, but that didn't deflect from the story. The main character was likable and I was happy to take the journey with her finding out about her family and how history is doomed to repeat itself when you don't learn from it.

Loved it! I visited Salem MA earlier this summer so How to Hang a Witch felt like an extended vacation. I appreciate that Adriana Mathers wrote about the women on women violence that often hides under the surface patriarchal structure blamed for the Witch Trials. 

If you enjoy critical thinking and social structures, along with a Heathers or Buffy style fmc, I highly recommend How to Hang a Witch.
