The Coven by Harper L. Woods

1.0

---

I picked this book up at an airport because the publisher did a great job making this book beautiful for Halloween decor and I needed a book for the plane. Witchcraft, vampires, haunted garden vibes? Totally my vibe! No! No!!! I really need these "dark fantasy" books with non consensual or abuse plot lines to be better marked or in a different genre section than romance. Y'all this was next to the EMILY WILDE BOOKS! I realize that this book had a trigger warning but having it after the dedication and author's note means I didn't see it until after purchasing, which feels icky. Also to be fair, this rating is not just my hatred of those plots. The world building also made no sense. I was confused in almost every aspect of the actual plot. Knowing me though, I might still read the next one cuz I hate quitting a story in the middle AND IT ENDED ON A CLIFFHANGER. Ugh. Just thumbs down. *cries in gorgeous bookshelf hypocrisy
