I loved the story, but it read like a teenager wrote it.

The first half of this drags, and I guessed the murderer and motivations within the first 30 pages. The last half was pretty good though, with two twists I almost didn't see coming.

This is a great read! I enjoyed the twist on sorority life by having them be a coven of witches. I also enjoyed it wasn't stereotypical sorority girls the entire time, but the girls are genuine and care for one another. This story takes you on twists and turns while going back and forth between a young naive witch and a more experienced witch who while they're dealing with this greater struggle as a group, both witches have eternal conflicts.
