i read this book just about non stop within 24 hours. it's definitely one of those books that is hard to put down. it is scary and exciting and beautiful and witchy and sad and heart wrenching. it takes place in the adirondack mountains, my favorite range. this family of female witches, the venery, is fabulous. these are talented women who know their botany. they kill bad men who abuse women. this book isn't for those who might find the content too painful, that's for sure. it's very bittersweet.
