Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy!

Now, I want to start with trigger warnings, cause boy did I need them before I read this and did not get them.

TW: suicide (dad, off screen), attempted suicide (MC, off screen), hallucinations, murder (graphic)

Those are the big trigger warnings, I’m sure there are more but these ones are the ones that made me ask, “Is this really supposed to be YA?” It feels much more adult, even if it is in a high school setting.

The story is about a boy who moves with his mom to a new town and he goes through the “new school, new friends,” anxiety. While there he makes friends with a bunch of witches and they unlock magic within him. It all comes at a great time, because the boy is being haunted/stalked by a demon and he keeps having premonitions of gruesome deaths.

Overall, the story was interesting, but I don’t think it was my type of book. I love witches and spooky tales, but it was all a bit too graphic to me. Also you made a trans character but don’t mention it until the author notes? I wish she could have at least of had a, “Hey, I’m trans, nice to meet you,” moment.

I’d like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I liked the storyline of this graphic novel, I feel the art matched the tone very well and I enjoyed the characters, flaws and all. It held my interest and I can’t wait to see where this goes next.
