Sutherland’s writing is exceptional, it’s gruesome and visceral - the type of writing the crawls inside of your chest and sits in your throat. Such an original take on a modern witch story, it was dark and gothic and featured some loveable unhinged lesbians. But most importantly it’s a story of rage and agency. My only issue is that this could easily categorised as adult horror - this book deals with some heavy themes and I recommend for ages 16+
