This one of these „it’s not a bad book, just not my cup of tea“ books. And I maybe should have read MacBeth first.

I loved this book. I didn't know I needed it, but it was exactly what I wanted to read. The writing felt magical and the book made me want to keep reading continuously. It's been a long time since I was able to finish a book in a single day. This was absolutely amazing. I love how it made me twist my own ideals of what is good and evil. Everyone in the book did terrible things and yet I still loved them

⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️ Five stars (as rated in the coffins that are literally piling on top of one another by the end of this book)

Elle and her friends are more than just besties; they're The Coven. And no one fucks with The Coven. On the night of Elle's sixteenth birthday, The Coven is closer than ever. Dressed to kill and with their sights set on crashing a party thrown by the St. Andrews Prep Lacrosse Team, The Coven feels absolutely untouchable. That is until the St. Andrews boys corners Elle the way they've cornered countless girls before her. In the aftermath of her assault, The Coven vows revenge. Reeling from her trauma, Elle transforms herself; she is now Jade and Jade has one mission; take those St. Andrew's perverts down once and for all. And she'll use one of their very own to do it.

“We'll be the witches they don't believe in until it's too late."


This book reads like Shakespeare was trying to get featured on an Olivia Rodrigo album and I mean that in the absolute best possible way. 💀 Y'all, this is the full sociopath Macbeth retelling I didn't know I needed. If you like slasher flicks, read R.L Stine as a kid or enjoy when sexual predators get absolutely wrecked by their own karma (👍🏻) then this book is a spooky season must!

✨ Read this book because: the MC is relatable in that depraved AF way that we all felt on some level in our teen years, the ending is satisfying as hell and rife with poetic Shakespearean-style justice ...

✨ Content warnings for this book: sexual assault, sexual violence, alcohol, death, violence, gore, murder, drowning, car accident, medical stuff, drug use, sex, trauma, PTSD, transphobia

i don’t even understand what i’ve just read. i’m not sure i enjoyed it and yet i couldn’t stop reading, so i’m conflicted. i understand the reasons behind why Jade did everything she did and i give her the credit for the lengths she was willing to go but… it was so extreme. i just don’t think i got it like i was supposed to.
