A real pleasure to read. It’s not often I find a book that really engages and captures me, but this one certainly did. It’s honestly a blast from beginning to end, and with a great message in there too! The characters are fun, the mysterious mansion / rural village vibe is immaculate, and there’s a charismatic cat too! 🐈 overall, a really fun witchy story and definitely not one to sleep on! Something Wicked is a triumph, and it only makes me more excited for what comes next! Thanks Belinda! 👻
