Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book. Below is my honest review.

Summary:
In this book, we follow Fritzi and Otto. Fritzi is a witch who has nature magic (think trees, plants, etc.) and is the only one in her coven left alive after a brutal massacre. Otto is a witch hunter (also known as a hexenjäger), but that's just his cover. Secretly, he and his sister are trying to free witches that have been captured.

One day, Otto and his sister start to put their final plan in place to free all the witches by first faking his sister's arrest (pretending she's a witch). Fritzi comes upon this fake arrest and intervenes, not knowing that this was all part of the plan. She ends up sending Otto's sister to an unknown place. Fritzi and Otto then team up to continue with his plan.

In the background, there's something more sinister going on with magic and the goddesses that the witches pray to.

Thoughts about this book:
✔️ Easy to understand world and magic
✔️ Has historical context to the story but still feels like its own plot
✔️ Has plot twists that I didn't see coming
✔️ Likeable characters
❌ Romance felt a little rushed (but I love slow burns, so I'm biased)
❌ Did not like Dieter's voice (made it sound like he was way older than Fritzi)

Overall, it was a fun and easy read! I have always enjoyed Beth Revis's and Sara Raasch's books, and this one was no different.

Would I recommend this book? Yes.
