I received an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I found this difficult to get into for some reason. I thought the premise was interesting but I didn't like the execution. I was bored for a lot of the book, and thought the plot was slow and repetitive. The characters motivations are stated over and over to the point where it saturates the narrative.
I found numerous errors in the book, typos and others things like missing quotation marks or commas which made the text difficult to understand. I was often taken out of the story by a typo or a strange sounding sentence. These are simple mistakes that another read over would correct.
However, I did enjoy the magic system, the gristly side of witchcraft, and I enjoyed the small Appalachian town setting, something I haven't read a lot of before.
