Bennie is not a native to the appalacian town. She came to this small mountain town for love. Bennie becomes suspicious that the mining operation is responsible for several deaths in toen, including her best friend. Now, her relationship is over, and her best friend is dead.
Enter Mothereater, a 200 year old Appalachian Witch who was found buried alive in the mountain and who doesn't remember her own name.

I was enraptured. The entire story drew me in, wrapped its roots around my heart, and fed my soul with its words. I love the close-knit Appalachian community, tales of Witches, and solving mysteries while falling in love. What's not to love?

Thank you to Kensington Imprint and Netgallery for the early release copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was a really fun read. Loved the magical aspects that was carried throughout the story. Fascinating and well developed characters that added a lot of flare to the book as well.

Old school witch re-emerges to continue the fight against the mining of the land. Mountainous titans, serpent sermons and soul-filled moths.
There was a tiny bit of a sapphic relationship in this, and a wholeeeee bunch of bible scripture.
Interesting but the magic was a little hard to understand and the book could have been edited down a bit.

LOVED TO READ THIS BOOK SO MUCH! THE CHARACTERS WERE AMAZING AND PERFECTLY MADE. I RATED IT 4,5 STARS.
