So incredibly scary I had to grab my cats to keep me company while reading. An atmospheric read perfect for the fall. Moreno-Garcia's connection to this topic was also interesting to read about! Incredibly well done and super different from the typical witch stories in New England that has been done a thousand times. I am already a tried and true fan of Silvia (minus The Beautiful Ones which was an insane miss for me), but this really knocked it out of the park for me, hurdling over Mexican Gothic and Gods of Jade and Shadow as my favorite of hers! My reccomendation is to not read this alone at night, you'll be looking over your shoulder for days!
