Shannon’s Thoughts:
The Rook family moved into a new town hoping for a new start. Especially for their teenage daughter Sailor, who had a horrific and scary incident with another girl from school. Sailor and her father are close and enjoy each other sense of humor. Her Dad uses the humor to distract Sailor from her anxieties. Sailor has more than just anxiety, she feels like something is after her. Sailor feels like the thing that took the girl from school is after her. Unfortunately, she is not wrong. Evil wytches from the woods are after Sailor because she has been pledged to them. Which means they get to eat her.
This is one of the darkest takes on witches I have seen in a while. I liked the connection that Sailor had with her father. It was depicted and developed nicely. The witches are creepy as was the character that helped the father.
The art of the wytches is scary but it is also not defined that well. I realized that is to make them even creepier and that you know they are in the dark even though you can not directly see them. I just found that a little annoying. I like to see a story done on how the wytches got there or have they always been there.
There were characters I wished had made it out in the end but even real life does not give you choices to pick those who live. Not sure where the story goes after this but I can not wait to find out.
