📖Review: VenCo by Chérie Dimaline
First, I’d like to highlight that April is halfway to Halloween month making it the perfect time to embrace some witchy reads.
VenCo was an exciting adventure with Lucky St. James and the other fantastic witches. It gave me The Witches of Moonshyne Manor vibes and kept me intrigued until the end.
One thing I will say is that the villain, Jay Christos, is abominable, and I found myself skimming over his horrible exploitation. As always, be sure to check the content warnings before diving in.
So, if you’re looking for an intriguing witchy read with feminist and anti-colonial themes, as well as a kick-butt team of women, this is it. It’s also set in April, so what are you waiting for?
