Seriously cool treatment of the 17th century witch hunts, and the women who faked demonic possession to excuse their bad behavior. ( )

This book was boring as shit. It was both predictable and managed to have no plot. It had a huge anti-choice message for no real reason. What an unpleasant reading experience. Don't waste your time like I did, reading this. ( )

I found this book interesting as a historical fiction novel, but I COULD NOT STAND the character of Grace, which says much about the writing skills the author. ( )

I love when books talk about heresy and heretics and this one didn’t disappoint! While it was sometimes slow, I bet it was carefully planned for us to get attached to Nell (the MC) and her granny because I truly did. They are so sweet and lovable though persecuted. Also, the ending...! It left me baffled and wanting more. Questioning, too. But the author made sure I would remember it even in my old days. I recommend it without a doubt! ( )

Very good. The ending was not at all what I expected. ( )
