A really good read for the Halloween season. If you’ve ever been interested in the Salem Witch Trials, this was hauntingly accurate. So atmospheric.

✨Book Review✨

Slewfoot 

Author: BROM

Rating: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Synopsis: Abitha is trying to find her place amongst the extremely religious Puritans after being married off to a kind stranger Edward. But when Edward mysteriously dies. Abitha fights for her freedom to keep her and Edward’s farm. Ostracized and singled out by her peers Abitha is broken until a powerful entity Slewfoot appears.

“ but this belief this absolute conviction that the evil they were doing was good, was God’s work – how, she wondered, how could such a dark conviction ever be overcome?”

Abitha was a fantastic FMC. I felt both her outrage and confusion about her place amongst the Puritans, especially once Edward passed. I truly believe Abitha was trying to find comfort in God but constantly questioned her faith because of the Puritan's actions that contradicted what the Bible stated. 

It’s mind-boggling to see the contradictions and self-convincing tactics Puritans used to convince themselves they weren’t doing anything wrong.

“Angels must often do dark deeds in the name of the Lord, “ Magistrate Watson added. “Do they not ?”

I really liked Samson but Abitha was the star. And I think her revenge was only fair. I also really liked Edward and I thought he was so sweet 🥲.
