This is a spooky season, witchy must read. Great writing really felt all the feels for the characters in this book. Also, an incredible story that keeps you on edge, wanting to know what happens to Abitha & Samson. What a power duo!

This book was incredible; I'd go as far as saying it's my favourite read to date. I was completely immersed in the story from the very beginning and enjoyed every single page.

Brom has done an amazing job bringing this world to life, complimented by his eerie artwork breaking up the chapters. I will certainly be reading his other works, after this.

oh my god. go read this.

i actually think this might be one of my new all-time favourites.

i’m so serious this book was so good with <50 pages left i was so excited my apple watch kept telling me my heart rate was too high. this book got me THAT EXCITED my apple watch kept alerting me until i finished this 😭

firstly, the illustrations are so fucking beautiful. within each chapter, as well as the big spread of the main characters were magnificent illustrations, and it was so fun to see what the characters were supposed to look like, as well as small snippets of what was happening through the chapter introductions.

the characters are written so wonderfully. abitha is a bad ass bitch, samson is incredibly interesting, and forest, creek & sky were great additions. the townsfolk were surprisingly well flesh-out, especially the carters & wallace.

the plot kept me wanting to come back for more, as i was not just invested in abitha getting her revenge, but in finding out the truth behind samson.

i loved the ending, and the atmosphere as well as the horror elements to this book were delectable.

i was so in love with this book i didn’t want to pick it up because then i knew it would end. i think i could read this again and again and never be sick of this.

i actually can’t stop thinking about this book. GOD IT WAS SO GOOD.
