I’m not sure about this one. I really enjoyed the second story including The Cecil Hotel, and a few others, but mostly this is leaving me feeling uncomfortable and sad.
There are so many ways women can fall apart, or be torn apart. Maybe I’m just not in the right headspace right now to explore them.

Internally, I was screaming for the first 80% of this book. I went through a phase where I was obsessed with the Salem Witch Trials and read every book I could about it; so the suspicions, the accusations, the trial and the treatment were not surprising to me. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t infuriating to read. Abitha deserved so much more than how the men in this book treated her, and if not for the last 20% this review would have been a three at best because I considered throwing this book across the room 15,000 times.
That being said, when Abitha changed forms and stepped into her power, when she got her revenge and regained her life at the tree, it suddenly felt worth it. Heaven and Hell. Devils and angels. Right and wrong. Good and bad. These strict dichotomies hold so much more nuance in them than we like to believe. Evil can hide behind the cloak of godliness, and salvation can be found in the hands of those we thought were devils. I appreciated that the Reverend at least understood that we have to look beyond our own prejudices.
I hope Abitha has a wonderful future, eating all the assholes that stumble across her cottage. Yum.

I am going to SCREAM.
How much of men ruining the lives of women can one person take. I demand justice! I demand Wallace’s head! I demand a less frustrating reading experience and my own broom to fly around on.
How many women were killed because silly wittle men didn’t get their way.
Help.

Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).
