what an incredible masterpiece. 
I was hooked from beginning to end. pacing was perfect. 
this book is a war cry. sharp and clear, brutal perfection. 
every line cuts with focused precision.
highly, highly recommend the audiobook--the narrator's intensity is brilliant. listening on cold fall walks through the woods was phenomenally immersive 🍂

Wowie wow. This ending just ripped the rug right out from under me. All the essence of witch that embodies being a woman and so much more. This book is a diary style recount of a teachers time in a new school, new town tryin to get by. Oh by does she get by.

dark mysterious slow-paced

this is a super slow book but it just had me hooked from start to finish. the horror elements don’t really come into play until the second half of the book, but they’re worth the wait imo. just absolutely loved this and it will be sticking with me. 

“A good woman. How odd that the phrase has such a particular meaning. One might say "a good man" and mean anything - there are as many ways of being a good man, it seems, as there are of being a man at all. But there is only one way to be a good woman. It is such a narrow, stunted, blighted way to be that I wonder any woman throughout history has been up to the task. 
Perhaps none of us ever have.”
