I really loved this! The writing is intense and visual. It’s dark and thematic and I loved both the characters of Bennie and Esther. Would read whatever Linda Codega writes next!

Really enjoyed the story but the pacing was off and some of the prose is a bit flowery

I enjoyed the strong female characters and it was a unique storyline. The story felt very repetitive and it moved pretty slowly overall. I didn't feel as invested in Esther's timeline, and found myself struggling to read those parts of the story. I enjoyed the setting of the book and reading a story with witchy vibes. I can see how this will work for people but I struggled reading it.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book. Sooo I initially DNF at 44%, but then I found myself needing to go back and try to finish this book again. Could I have lived without reading the rest of this book…absolutely. I will say that initially I was hooked on this book. I was all in. I liked the setting and the whole Appalachian-witchy vibe. I even liked the main characters. Something happened with the writing like a third of the way in. It just wasn’t interesting anymore. The book ropes you in, then just kind of leaves you hanging. If you want to read a book purely on vibes…this lowkey might be right up your alley.
