Thank you to Netgalley and Black & White Publishing for the eARC! All opinions expressed are my own.

This story is told mainly from Aila’s perspective but occasionally we get POVs from other characters like Jack. I was pulled in right away and I didn’t want to put it down for the most part. The pacing was good for the most part, it did slump a little in the middle before picking up again for the last third.

I loved the characters and their relationships! Fantastic found family rep and great character development throughout the novel. I felt like I really got to know each character! The ending/Epilogue felt unnecessary and I think I would’ve given 5 stars if had ended after the final chapter as that would’ve made a better end to the novel. 

Overall a great read about witchcraft and the Scottish witch trials! I highly recommend for anyone else who enjoys reading about this dark period in history, well written characters, or if you enjoy the found family trope
