Goodreads Review: How to Kill a Witch by Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell

Five star review, originally posted here on February 10th, 2026: Finally broke my start-of-year-bad-book-streak with this absolute gem! Serves me right for trying outside-my-comfort-zone fiction. Yes, well-researched non-fiction about niche dark historical topics is the way for me! And this absolutely fit the bill.
