Another amazing read. I’m officially obsessed with Alexa Martin because her mind is just amazing
Going with my first instinct here. Amazing. Couldn’t put it down. This book ruined me. I honestly don’t know what else to say.

Let me tell you what you get when you read These Witches Don’t Burn: YA drama, Salem Witch Trials, 3 clans of witches, spells and rituals, a mystery, lesbian rep, gay rep, bi rep, trans rep, ex-girlfriend drama, new girlfriend awkwardness, near death experiences, burning at the stake, and a bunch of teenagers trying to figure out what the hell is going on in their Salem town. The only thing we don’t really get is POC rep and honestly, while I would’ve loved that too, I still love and recommend this book because there’s so much else in-between these pages and it’s such a great story.
The plot was compelling and quickly drew me in. I’d been excited about reading this book for months and I’m so glad that I wasn’t disappointed. I have to admit that I did guess the perpetrator, but it was a fun ride trying to figure out if I was right or not. Knowing didn’t take way any of my enjoyment or excitement while reading. Honestly the book was pretty straight forward and while I love twists and turns, sometimes an author can go overboard and everything gets lost. That wasn’t the case here. I feel like every plot and subplot that was opened was also closed by the end, while also leaving room for a sequel. I highly recommend that if you’re into YA, witches, mysteries and LGBTQ content, you pick up this book and give it a go.

This has been on my list to read for quite awhile. I never got around to reading these as a kid so now I’m backtracking as an adult. What I loved about this book is that it had so many great vocabulary words and actually explains what the words mean. Obviously Count Olaf is a horrible person, and that’s part of the story, but I’m not sure how much of his foolishness I’ll be able to read about because it makes me so upset lol. But I am glad I finally read this.
