A satisfying read but I wasn’t prepared for how graphically violent it is.

I gave this book 5/5 but honestly I would give this book a 9/5 rating if I could. It is so good, I was rooting for Abitha the entire time and the way the author got me to absolutely hate the townspeople as quickly as they did.. I have no words. This was such an emotional read and I love it it had exactly what I was looking for.

This would be a great fall read, but honestly good all around. It's about a woman who is at odds with her puritan village and the possible witchcraft that is involved. If you know about the Salem witch trials, you'll know some of what to expect going into this. I thought it was really well written and captivating. 

I loved the setting and the feel of the story and also the ending was very satisfying. It's fast paced, dark, and mixes history with paranormal/supernatural elements. I would definitely recommend this to anyone even slightly curious.

This story definitely falls under the category of "good for her" I absolutely enjoyed every single second of this book with only one exception (animal death). Other than that it was twisted and gruesome and lovely!
