Dark, witchy, and all about female empowerment. I would stay away from this one if blood/gore isn't your thing because there is quite a bit of blood in this one. Sometimes just being used for spells, but still. There is a lot. 

I enjoyed how the overall story unfolded, with the twists and turns that I wasn't quite expecting until they were happening. Towards the end of the book, you'll definitely be kept on the edge of your seat, wondering how it's all going to wrap up.

If you like witchy, female empowerment kind of stories and don't mind a little bit of horror, this is definitely the book for you!

I hadn't heard a lot about this book and I think it deserves more praise. It is the story of three young women trying to find who is killing witches and it's one of my favourite horror books I've read in a long time. I've enjoyed very few horror stories that are this creepy. I thought it is very well crafted occult tale and would absolutely recommend to horror fans.
