Wow, These Witches Don't Burn left me speechless for the last 50 pages of the ebook! I was not expecting there to be so many twists and turns within the last chunk of the book.

These Witches Don't Burn is about Hannah, an Elemental Witch in Salem, where witches have to hide their power from Reg's, those who are non-witches. Her summer prior to senior year of high school should be a breeze working at Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists, spending time with her best friend, and the new girl in town, Morgan, right? Well, her life is turned upside down at the end-of-the-school-year bonfire where a blood ritual happens. Since then, evidence of dark magic has been showing up around Salem, and Hannah must determine if it is a Blood Witch when everyone in her Coven believes it not to be. Hannah must work with her ex-girlfriend, Veronica, to determine what has happened and who is behind everything.

The twists and turns in this book left me speechless, staring off into space for a good minute or 2 before continuing. I didn't think there would be any plot twists, but boy was I wrong. These types of plot twists, one I don't see coming, are ALWAYS my favourite (which to be honest, I don't see many coming).

Let's talk about the relationships; the dynamic between Hannah and her parents is exactly how mine is. Reading about healthy child-parent relationships is always my favourite because I could never imagine parents who don't love their children unconditionally, which I KNOW is a struggle for so many LGBTQ people in the world. My parents have the same love towards me as Hannah's parents do, being part of the LGBTQ community. I also love how Sterling gives us a look into how some children have parents that don't accept them with Gemma, even though she is straight. Bringing in Gem's parents just goes to show the hardships some LGBTQ youth have to go through. Plus the unconditionally loving relationship Hannah and Gem have is phenomenal.

The relationship between Hannah and Morgan is just so cute. I love them so much, and I can't wait to read This Coven Won't Break after my next read.

I love how throughout this book we got to see Hannah heal from her past relationship and blossom into a new one; one that she will be herself in and not feel the need to hide any part of herself.

Now, the reason I have it 4 stars instead of 5 was I found the first quarter of the book to be a little slow. I find that if I don't get interested/invested in a book within the first 30% I usually DNF it. I'm glad I pushed through this one. Other than that, the book was so fun to read.

I highly suggest this book to anyone searching for a sapphic love story, PLUS witches. Who doesn't want to read about sapphic witches?
