"Definitely a good spooky read. Brom's illustrations are excellent. Felt like his version of the origin story of witches and I loved it. My first Brom read so will definitely be reading more."

"Thinking what it was like to be a woman in the 1600s sounds beyond terrible. Witchy tales are not my normal but this book grabbed me in quickly! I admired Abatha’s strength and will, but most of all her satisfying revenge!"

"First 5 star book I’ve given in awhile! This book is so good! I didn’t think it would be for me, but it’s awesome! Historical fiction vibes with some dark fantasy elements. Just go into it blind, it’s so worth it!"

"Overall a different read that I am glad to have experienced. Makes you wonder how things were in Colonial America and witches. My interest moved up and down throughout. "

"If I could give this 10 stars I would. I loved every second of this book. I’m only upset that I won’t be able to read it for the first time again. It was beautifully written. I have no words to describe how deeply I love this book. "
