Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill
3.0

While I enjoyed the story, and it was an interesting insight into what happened in Salem and with the girls who were Afflicted, I gave this 3 stars because I wasn't a fan of the writing style (verse) and I was expecting it to be more in Novel format. But it was still enjoyable, and a fast paced read, although sometimes it was hard to follow the girls thoughts and it didn't really make sense how they started it all with little communication with each other.

Overall an enjoyable read, but I felt it could have been so much more if it wasn't written in verse, but I still feel the author did a good job of delving into Salem, 1692 and into the lives of the Salem Girls while still managing to paint a picture of life back then with her take on the Salem hysteria.
