Fast paced, witchy fun
Fast paced plot with a great protagonist, barely a toe dipped into romance - I'm definitely intrigued to see where that storyline is going, witchcraft in a small town, and crimes stretching back decades. I loved the fact that there were multiple, very intricate, paths that the plot could have taken that would all have led to a plausible ending, and then BAM! Completely out of left field ending that I wasn't at all expecting.
Really the only gripe I have about this book is at one point there's some pretty ableist language about bipolar disorder and the weather, I mean, it's 2019. We can and should do better than this. Weather isn't capable of being bipolar - it's unpredictable - and it's pretty insulting to people with mental illness to bandy that term about.
Other than that it was a good book and I'd like to read more by this author, specifically about this character. She has real depth and the lead man in the story is charming too.
