I've read a few books recently where the "witches" aren't actually witches. That isn't the case with this novel. These witches are terrifying! This book is brimming with tension and atmosphere. The cover perfectly matches the mood of the novel. There is blood rain, a creepy villain, an oppressive Puritan society, and a badass main character who is determined to find out what the heck is going on. Please pick it up during spooky season!
