I really enjoyed the tone and theme of this book. It spoke to a part of my soul that needed to see some badass women taking the patriarchy down.

I will say there were some parts that dragged a bit, but overall the pace was good.

I think all the characters were well thoughtout and I really enjoyed the surprise ending.

I really liked this book. It was dark. But it was a fascinating plot with an interesting group of characters. Lots of trigger warnings for people though.

First read of 2023 started off with a bang! I absolutely adored this feminist, witchy read. With multiple POVs, but mostly focused on Nessa, Harriet & Jo, I loved to hear their life experiences and yow they got to where they are now. The strength, power and pursuit of justice, a world where all women and girls can be safe  was so beautifully crafted and inspiring, I just I did not want to put this book down. Plus, January LaVoy was incredible as a narrator. She has such a talent for distinguishing voices for each character in a way that is so immersive—my favourite narrator to date! I can’t recommend this magical realism revenge thriller enough & I really hope a sequel is in the works.

I read a review calling this "Big Little Lies meets The Witches of Eastwick" and that about sums it up.  Part mystery/thriller with a dash of magical realism and plenty of feminist rage, this was a cathartic read for me.
