Darkly funny and just a little creepy, Cackle is a delightful feminist witchy treat. Annie, devastated by a break up, relocates from NYC to a charming upstate town. She is immediately taken up by Sophie, a devastatingly beautiful woman who lives in a mansion in the woods. The locals all treat Sophie like a Queen they are terrified of and she has so many spider friends that Annie is put on her guard. Sophie, however, treats Annie like gold and only seems to be encouraging her to be her best self. Should Annie trust her? I can’t wait to recommend this - I read it straight through.
