The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
5.0
This book came to me at the exact right moment and ripped my damn heart out.
My heart really broke for the Swan sisters and every woman who has been persecuted for witchcraft throughout history. I went into this expecting spook and atmosphere, but it ended up being a surprisingly complex look at how women are blamed for the actions of men.
Don't get me wrong - it absolutely delivers on the spook and atmosphere too! This book takes place during the Summer but you feel like you've been swallowed up in the October mist pouring in off the ocean. I could practically smell the salty air, feel the sense of foreboding, and hear the Swan sisters' call. Sparrow feels like a very real place and the Swan sisters feel like a very real curse.
Ugh, this book was my exact brand of witchy perfection.
