First of all, I really love this cover! Second, I'm not really into horror, but cults are kinda my thing, so when I saw The Year of The Witching, I was like "signed me up!" This was creepy and spooky

A compelling commentary on racial and gender struggles set in a witch trial-based society. While trying to work out the cause of the plagues in her town, the main character confronts her society's biases in an organic matter, and achieves some nice character development.
I do wish the main character's relationships with friends, family, and the love interest were more fleshed out, but I can see a narrative reason why she'd have overall superficial connections to others due to her place in society. However, it currently reads as a "Not Like Other Girls" trope, especially in her relationship with the love interest.
