I was pulled in right away and had a hard time putting it down!
Some of the flashes to the past though could be confusing as they happened abruptly but I got used to it after awhile.
I loved the writing style-very atmospheric and chilling-I felt like I was there and the characters were well rounded/complex.
The pacing was also really well done and I loved the ending! It was satisfyingly ambiguous with some things wrapped up but some things left to the reader.

I enjoyed the pieces of historical records throughout the book. It added to the atmospheric writing and character development. I always love books about the witch trials and learning new viewpoints about them so this was a perfect book for me!
Highly recommend for anyone else who enjoys reading about witch trials or historical fiction with creepy, gothic/witchy vibes!
