Alice is a teen who says she is being haunted by a witch. As her behavior becomes more and more disturbing, they delve into the town\u2019s history and evil traditions. Exploring grief, loss and faith, this book also explores whether or not supernatural things are actually real or just a reflection of our own human darkness. This is a great read for those who love folk horror mixed with cults, curses and of course, witchcraft. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certainly there are moments that are truly creepy and unsettling \u2013 both things I absolutely love in my books.
