clummo's review against another edition
3.5
Flip-flopped between 3 and 4 stars for this so we'll call it 3.5. Fast-paced and quick read about witches who haunt a rural town every summer. I liked the plot, though the romance was telegraphed right from the start and was a bit meh.
I will say the twist with Hazel being Penny did get me, although I then had to think about how that worked exactly. Did add some extra jeopardy. Unfortunately it left the ending slightly underwhelming though, casting a pretty big question mark over Bo and Penny's new relationship which felt a bit wrong.

Okay so when I started this book I thought I was going to give it a 3 star rating but it picked up and I got invested in the story. I fell in love with the characters and the writing style. A perfect read when wanting entertainment on a stormy night.

Liked the idea of the plot. Could have been better with the characters other than the narrator having more personality. The description of being able to see the witches through the possessed person was interesting.

"Love is an enchantress—devious and wild.
It sneaks up behind you, soft and gentle and quiet, just before it slits your throat."
-Hazel Swan, from The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
