Deliciously Dark & Magical

This book was so gripping and immersive! It had me holding my breath as I experienced it not read it. Few books bring the setting and story so vividly to life. I felt I was there experiencing it in high definition. I will immediately be getting my hands on the other two books by Brom that are in my TBR!

Buy a physical copy for the artwork

I listened to the audiobook, which was fantastic but having a physical copy brings everything to life. Such a uniquely written story about a topic that women know all too well about.

Emotional Damage

4.5* I really, really enjoyed this. This was my first ever Brom and Slewfoot in particular really lived to to the hype for me. I feel like every element today worked but .5 star off because Brom did Booka so dirty and also dealt me so much emotional damage.

Love it

Brom is a beautiful story teller and he throws his art in..love it!

Truly Beautiful & Unique

From the very first few pages, I was hooked, despite some reviews claiming it had a slow pace. Brom masterfully builds the atmosphere and setting, and this world-building sets the stage for a deeply engaging narrative. Abitha's character is richly developed, and while some reviews I read emphasized dislike for Brom's portrayal of a woman, I felt a strong connection to her. As a woman, I empathized deeply with her resilience, pain, anger, and desire to break free from societal expectations of femininity (from both men & women.) I appreciated her stubbornness and know that if our skulls were to clash like rams, neither of us would flinch. Brom's other characters, particularly his demons, are some of the most beautifully written and unique I've ever read. His illustrations breathed life into these characters, making each one memorable and endearing in different ways. The character-driven storytelling kept me hooked, even when I could foresee many plot developments. Despite knowing where the story was headed, I still couldn't put the book down and enjoyed the journey. This predictability humbled me as a reader, as it allowed me to appreciate the storytelling despite anticipating the plot—and Brom is a wonderful and original storyteller. My most disliked characters followed the paths I expected, and my anger towards them grew, remaining righteous even though I anticipated their actions. This aspect of the book made me appreciate Brom's ability to evoke strong emotions and create truly detestable antagonists. Although there were moments where I felt the dialogue between characters lacked depth, felt rushed, or became repetitive, these were minor flaws for me. The majority of this book's flaws, for me, were overshadowed by the book's strengths, particularly its evocative prose and artistic storytelling. I felt each cry, scream, moan, and smile—both the warm and the sinister. This was my first horror book, and Brom's vivid descriptions of his demons' exploits were masterfully done and highly visual. His world-building is immersive and impressive, and I eagerly look forward to reading more of his work. Thank you, Brom, for my absolute favorite witch book, and for a wonderful introduction to a new genre for me as a reader. 🩶🕷️
