When I was a young girl, there were witches.

I wasn't sure about this one when I started it: multiple POVs across time often doesn't work for me, and the book starts slow. But as always, Moreno-Garcia delivers. I was impressed with the way her authorial voice changes in the chapters meant to represent a manuscript within the world of the book. And the steady horrible build of tension through the book, especially the 1998 chapters was thrilling. This is a fantastic example of a book that will leave you feeling a little nervous looking out your windows at night or when you feel an odd noise behind you, but that doesn't completely scare the shit out of you. That delicious creeping horror. Mwah, exquisite!
