5.0

I absolutely loved this book. It contained so many of the things I like most in a book - secrets, ghosts, witchcraft, an unreliable narrator, phenomenal writing - and actually gave me chills at times which is not easy to do. It does take a little while to really get going but once it does you’re in for a ride. I would say the last 25% of the book is where it really quickens the pace. I promise it’s worth it. I can’t wait to read more of Purcell’s books!
