It reminded me so much of the lighthouse witches. It also left a lot of questions unanswered for me.
5 stars for the captivating atmosphere and my inability to put this down - I finished it within 12 hours, which is VERY rare for this mood reader. I adored the flashbacks to the 1500s witch trial, Erin's badass mom, and the unique blend of mystery and true crime that sets this apart from other witch stories. The conclusion between family members was satisfying and heartwarming. However, I felt the ending had a few plot holes, the resolution of Erin's possession by Nyx was rushed and under-reflected upon by the present-day characters. The ancestral connections between past and present could've been fleshed out more. The epilogue felt lazy and tacked on, but I see it as the author's attempt to show the continued magical lineage. Overall, I would definitely recommend this especially during spooky season. I think all readers of all genres could enjoy this book!

Eh. This probably should have been a DNF for me. I expected so much from it, but it was simply disappointing.
