The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson

cait_henry56's review against another edition

3.5

Solid book. I agree with some of the other reviews that I prefer my horror to not have romantic subplots, so if you are similar you might not enjoy this book. Otherwise, there was wonderful world building, interesting characters, and a fairly unique plot when it comes to witch hunts. I will say that some of the themes were heavy handed, but overall I recommend the audiobook for a dark night's entertainment
