A bewitching debut by S. Isabelle, perfect for fans of Maggie Stiefvater, Zoraida Córdova, and Leigh Bardugo! THE HAUNTING SEASON IS HERE AND THE WOLVES ARE AWAKE. Haelsford, Florida is a Hellmouth. Or at least, that's what Logan, a baby witch struggling to control her powers, thinks as she arrives to the witchtown to begin the new school year at Mesmortes Coven Academy. She is immediately taken under the wing of the infamous Red Three. Iris, is a deathwitch who wants nothing more than to break the town's curse; Jailah is one of the most powerful witches at the academy but her thirst for power may lead her down a dark path; and Thalia, the talented greenwitch, is on the run from her religious family and a past that still haunts her. Fear and prejudice still fuel the uneasy truce between humans and witches who are forced to work together when the Haunting Season begins and Wolves rise from the swamp to feed. With this approaching, two Hammersmitt boys prepare to make their first sacrifices to the witches in exchange for protection. But as they become involved with the Mesmortes witches' plan to end the Wolves' reign of terror once and for all, old dangers lie in wait. The cost to break the curse may be greater than any witch or human could ever know.

the concept was rlly cool but i probably would've liked the book more without logan, mathew, and trent (or at least w/o their povs.)
“History was always labeling women as mad, whether they were witchy or not.” -Iris Ch 2, pg 14
Perfect for Halloween and black witch rep
Honestly this book kinda of surprised me, I wasn't feeling it at first, beavuse of the writing style, it took me a minute to used to it but I pushed past the 6% mark, I'm so glad I did.
This is the first book I've read featuring witches and I liked it. I can definitely see it as a series on Peacock similar to Vampire Academy. I really liked it was a great introduction to the theme and aesthetic.
I don't how to describe the writing style but with it being in third person as well, it's not for everyone and it may takes some getting used to.
Jailiah and Mathew was my favorite, I see myself most in Jailah and Mathew was kind and supportive.
Logan was the worst. Her chapters were full of self-deprecating and “woe is me”. Then she, one of the only white characters of the main cast, was suppose to be this super special powerful Proxy witch. She never accepted anybody encouragements or compliments. She withheld information just because she wanted to prove herself first.
“She didn't want to hide this, but she couldn't tell them, not until she felt like she could be the witch that they wanted her to be.”
I hate it when characters in books withhold information from everyone else for reasons that don't make sense. Especially when the info would be super helpful.
She really got me with these two lines:
“Not only was Logan terrible with a wand, but she wasn't even special in her awfulness.”
Like, what? I was literally baffled when I read this line. Like you want to be awful and special, what?
“It was easy for Logan to detach herself from the heirloom's grip. It wasn't like with Iris, all violence and horror, maybe because as a necromancer, those things were already in her. Or maybe it was Logan's ability to proxy that protected her. [Thinking] Maybe I'm more special than even Iris.”
More special? Eye roll
