A darkly funny, frightening novel about a young woman learning how to take what she wants from a witch who may be too good to be true, from the author of The Return.
All her life, Annie has played it nice and safe. After being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, Annie seeks a fresh start. She accepts a teaching position that moves her from Manhattan to a small village upstate. She's stunned by how perfect and picturesque the town is. The people are all friendly and warm. Her new apartment is dreamy 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 townsfolk seem…a little afraid of her. And like, okay. There are some things. 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?

A witchy and fun read
It's my first book by Rachel Harrison and I had so much fun reading it! I think it's not really much of a horror novel, although there are a few situations which are a little creepy. It's more of a cozy horror one might say. The beginning definitely gives off cozy "new life new me" small town vibes. Annie just got dumped by her boyfriend and tries to start anew in a small town upstate. Everthing seems so cute and picturesque, the people are nice and welcoming, her apartment looks decent, she is more than sure that she can be happy there. Especially when she meet Sophie, a gorgeous looking woman in her late 30s (or early 40s?) who seems to be the towns celebrity hence the overfriendly and supportive neighbours reactions to her. Things start to take a weird turn when spiders keep appearing in Annies apartment and the people drop warnings to be more cautious in terms of befriending Sophie. The book was a fairly fast read for me, since the story was easygoing and, to be honest, I could't have enough of the little fluffy side kick ;)
