4.0

The author is able to invoke the emotions of the characters really well. I liked having the characters so well defined that the actions they took ( despite being the worst action(*cough* Wallace*cough*)) made sense. The spiral of the main character and the town are mirrors to each other

Oh geez didn't realize I was supposed to add something here. 0.50+~ given for the audiobook- very good, would recommend. 

I would also love to be a feral witch in the New England forests in love with the devil. A lot of "these people are terrible but somehow I make it out just fine", but overall I enjoyed the writing, and the ability of the author to set the scene. Felt a little hand holding in regards to the twists in the plot, but overall I enjoyed it nonetheless. Would have loved more witch Abitha though at the end there. Some confusing messages going on here though. Soul? No soul? make up your mind Abitha

A dark, bewitching novel, it is a tale of reclaiming your identity, listening to your intuition, and the empowerment of creation and connection (Abitha and Samson make a beautiful couple) with well-rounded characters, rich folklore, and phenomenal storytelling. Seriously, this book is a work of magic.
