This was a quick read about a witch wanting revenge for being falsely accused of being a witch. The violence at the beginning of the story caught me by surprise but gives an idea of what to expect.
The build up is very slow for a few chapters but once Maggie enters, shit hits the fan! A literal blood bath and everything goes from bad to worse to even more worse! You'll be wishing some characters survive only to be caught offguard by them in the end!
In the end you have no idea who to root for or if anyone woukd even survive.
The gore and deaths were a fun addition to all of this and the description of Maggie was chilling.
