Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian
3.0

I fell into this book hard. It grabbed me from the first chapter and did not let go. That is until, the last chapter.

Spoilers ahead:

I hate when a book does this, it's like the author realized that he was almost out of pages and was like, "oh, no! I better wrap this up and put a bow on it." There is so much setup. the characters appear deep and flawed which I really appreciate and then everything goes off the rails at the end.

I get that her husband stabbed her in the hand with a fork but if I had to read that phrase one more time I was going to make a drinking game out of. And really, "meet the devil's tines" as her last words to him, could that be more corny?
