The Wicked in Me by Suzanne Wright

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 28%.
The world building is scarce, the protagonist feels basic, the dialogue is unerringly repetitive and without character, the instalust without reason, the “women said he was”, the insane kooky coven. 
I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

Amazing, I really enjoyed this. The way the author just calls out the intolerant in society, those who don’t see the intersections and only see their own pain or marginalisation. Truly a great book.
