Witch

by Finbar Hawkins

Thank you to Netgalley and Zephyr publishing for e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Hawkins has created a dark atmospheric book which is a perfect short read. However; this is not a fluffy autumn book and contains some distressing scenes. I would advise readers to find a full list of Trigger Warnings.

Witch follows the tale of young Evey and her journey to avenge her mother, who was brutally murdered for being a Witch. Evey and her sister, Dill, must find the coven for safety, and avoid the witch hunters.

I found this book to be unique in its writing style; quite short lines that read like verse. It could sometimes be hard to get into and follow, but for the most part, worked like a charm in the bleak world that Hawkins created.

Although the world is bleak and full of despair, there are heartwarming moments of light, in the form of friendship and family.
