Laughing so hard at everyone in the reviews not understanding that Merricat has magical thinking OCD, while everyone who is familiar with OCD is clearly writing reviews of this book from that viewpoint. An unintentional OCD book for me, lol. Had no idea that was going to be part of the book.
Weird and spooky and eerie. Just my kind of quick book. Just watched the movie after finishing and while i did like it i did not like that they gave her a spell book in it lol, she was not a wannabe witch. Also they botched the ending. Book is better than movie.
Probably closer to 3.5 stars. Entertaining, and super creepy. Maybe a bit long, but worth reading over a weekend.
The title sounds like it could be one of those repeated foreboding lines from an episode of Doctor Who. I am intrigued.
