I received a free ebook copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

The Salem Witch Trials have always intrigued me as I am fascinated and appalled at the naivety of people. This book's story line takes place 19 years after those trials and the author's creative writing transported me in to the story. Strong and well developed were the story and its characters and the revelations that are revealed via a journal were outstanding. I cannot wait to read the second book and I highly recommend that everyone reads it.

"One of the best thrillers I've read in a while"
No doubt there are clear remnants of Girl on a Train and Rear Window in this psychological thriller, and having heard a fair few, sometimes it seems obvious who the culprit is.

However - the twists and turns to get to the climax are absolutely gut wrenching, the first personal dialogue writing in a journal is engaging and the contemporary plot is interesting - so it's well worth the read. Catherine Steadman is a great performer - and it reminded me of listening to Paula Hawkin's character - there are clear similarities. Overall, definitely worth any hype.

The Elemental Journal was really interesting. The journals were pretty advanced, and even though the instructions were clear they would have required a lot of materials. I would use this book for inspiration more than step by step instructions. This book would be great for any crafter who saves everything and sees potential in random pieces of "trash" like tree bark, scraps of fabric, wire, old plastic game pieces, door knobs, etc.

Mind you I loved it: it was wild and cool and exciting: it's just slightly more advanced and a little intimidating. Recommended for experienced crafters.
