You can’t beg the world to do what you want. You can’t ask it nicely. You must bend it to your will.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wowww I am so impressed by this book! I loved that the author addressed the elephant in the room right off the bat - the fact that a man wrote a book about women, motherhood, female empowerment, etc etc.

If you’re looking for a witchy, fight the patriarchy read to escape the day-to-day craziness that is American politics, I highly recommend this one.

The main characters of the book are a group of young unwed mothers sent to a group home to wait out their pregnancy so they can give birth, give their babies up for adoption, then return back home as if nothing happened. But when they meet a strange librarian who gives them a book of spells and the chance to get even, things get really interesting. ⚡️

OK OK now onto Onyx Storm!
