About this listen
Winner of the Ladies of Horror Fiction Award for Best Novel, this is a deliciously dark feminist tale of witches, bad ex-boyfriends, good coffee and friendly spiders.
All her life, Annie has played it nice and safe. After being unceremoniously dumped by her long-time boyfriend, Annie seeks a fresh start. She accepts a teaching job that moves her from Manhattan to a small village upstate. Her new home is picturesque and perfect. The people are all friendly and warm. Her new apartment is lovely too, minus the oddly persistent spider infestation.
Then Annie meets Sophie. Beautiful, charming, magnetic Sophie, who takes a special interest in Annie, who wants to be her friend. More importantly, she wants Annie to stop apologizing and start living for herself. That's how Sophie lives. Annie can't help but gravitate toward the self-possessed Sophie, wanting to spend more and more time with her, despite the fact that the rest of the town seems… a little afraid of her. And, okay. Sophie's appearance is uncanny and ageless, her mansion in the middle of the woods feels a little unearthly, and she does seem to wield a certain power… but she couldn't be… could she?

The female allegory
A story of women’s rage, growth, codependence and the ambiguity of “good” and “evil”. A good representation of how we fear those who learn to leave the box, and are happy doing so.

OK.
Book feels a little long for the story told with a middle section that meanders a little. The beginning, interesting set up, the end satisfying but there were a couple of places I considered not finishing the book due to it not getting to the point fast enough or big enough. Ralph steals the show. Not quite a cozy read, not quite a horror read.
