I loved this creepy, spooky ghost story set in the Vermont woods where Hattie was hanged for being a witch in 1924.

Fast forward 100 years, Helen and Nate, a city couple buys 44 acres in the forest they start building their dream house from scratch. They dismiss the rumor that the bog that sits on their property and is haunted by Hattie.

I was infatuated with each character, enjoyed reading the history of the land and was especially moved as Helen researched Hattie's descendants. The plot was scary at times, deliciously chilling with an ending I was not expecting.

I certainly recommend this quirky book.
