I mean, I kind of saw where it was going right from the beginning in terms of the family structure…but it’s still deeply uncomfortable. And I STILL HAVEN’T FINISHED IT.

Oy! The Roanoke Girls is messed up!

This one will make you rage-y as hell so maybe wait a bit. The ending is good. As for Hopkins? He was slippery. He didn’t ‘kill’ any of them. The town’s courts did. He just testified. 300 women in 18 months.

So, do we call the real Mathew Hopkins a serial killer then? Or was he just acting in accordance with the teachings and the laws of the time so he gets a pass? Men are the worst!

I am definitely going to keep an eye out for this one, but I’m not sure that I will be able to make myself read it anytime soon (says me who is currently reading The Roanoke Girls).
