Media Reviews
I really enjoyed Hagwitch. First of the cover is beautiful, I absolutely love the cover! The colours are beautiful and I would pick it up if I saw it on a bookshelf. Secondly, the story captivated me. Hagwitch is a great read, I recommend it to anyone who loves a good read of myth and magic, and a story that also gives you chills -- Megan Readingawaythedays
