clichemarker's review against another edition
4.25
A mix between Heather's and I spit on your Grave. The assault is never shown in graphic detail. I appreciate that. Too many times, in this type of story, they focus on the wrong parts. I'm glad she stuck to the vengeance, using their words against them. Showing their lack of guilt and remorse
I think she could have gone harder with the kills, but they were still pretty good.
I think the whole novel was presented and handled well, it was almost therapeutic in a twisted sense

The coven's characters were amazing. A tight-knit group of female friends who have gone through everything together and stand first and foremost for each other.
The rest of the characters I found to be lacking, kind of generalized versions of different cliches.
The instalove, or rather, insta-infatuation was way too fast, even for teenagers. Speaking of teenagers, they have some incredibly deep things happen to them and we are expected to accept these grown-up behaviours? Kind of unbelievable, would have accepted more of it if they had been university characters maybe? More young adult.
I found myself still invested (a little bit) in the story, even if it reminded me at all times of old tragedies (and then read it was meant to be a Macbeth retelling hehe) so I kept on reading till the end, which is open ended and leaves a strange taste behind, given last minute developments.

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 ...
