Overall, I enjoyed it. Was hoping for more horror and witchy-ness. Ending felt very rushed.

This was great! It was hard to get started at first, the POV switches between present day and the 1500s, which I really enjoyed, but some of the old English language was hard to understand, and I need to use a lot of context clues and look up words. But the story was so intriguing I wasn’t letting that stop me. I also had no idea that this was a partly true story as well!! Amazing writing that really keeps you hooked and wanting to know how the story would pan out.
