I really loved this book. It frustrated me in that, I wanted to flip
to the end constantly to find out, but I loved it.

This book had the slowest and vaguest start ever, I literally had no clue what kind of book I was reading and where it was going. This was charming, in a way. But also extremely confusing and it didn’t really make me want to keep reading.

After getting used to the writing style and after some explanation I was eager to find out what was going on, but having finished it I still have many questions but no need to have them answered.

Other than that I truly didn’t like the way Mad’s anxiety was handled and approached, especially by her mother, which was extremely frustrating. Other than that it was kinda homophobic, there were mentions of grooming, abuse, and very detailed animal cruelty.

I don’t think I will be buying any further books in this series (if it is? probably) and to be very honest, I wouldn’t recommend this book. Not my cup of tea. Quite anti climactic.

Hooray for lesbian irish witches, though.
