The cultural appropriation got to be too much for me. This book is filled with white savior narratives and all the negatives surrounding modern white witchcraft. Very disappointing.

Fun witchy book. I wish it spent more time in the Salem witch era. I found the type of magic to be an interesting take and the story was quick but not rushed. A little more language and sexual then your typical ya but not enough to cross into na.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ALC of this book.

Twin witches Hunter and Mercy Goode are tasked with protecting the 5 gates to the underworlds set up in their town, just as every Goode witch has been before them.  But when the trees marking the gates begin dying and so do people, they are forced to find a way to stop it before they are too late.

The plot of this book was pretty interesting, and I liked to learn about the type of magic they had. I liked the prologue with reference to the Salem Witch Trials and I liked that their magic came from deities that they each chose when they came of age.  Hunter was a pretty interesting character for the most part, but most of these characters felt a little bland and one note.  

I also thought that the writing was very over-descriptive for my taste and didn't feel natural.  The dialogue was too exposition heavy for me.  The over-descriptive is not my style of writing, but if you don't mind it then you will probably enjoy this book.
