Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton
Once, a witch made a pact with a devil. The legend says they loved each other, but can the story be trusted at all? Find out in this lush, atmospheric fantasy novel that entwines love, lies, and sacrifice.
Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man into the depths of the Devil’s Forest.
Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early.
Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mairwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their town—and their hearts—inside out.
Witchesssssssssssss. Devilsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Slaughter Moon????? Omg, I’m so done. This is everything. It fits the spooky meter so much, and I just canNOT. I just want this so much, and I just need it nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Mandy loves her spooks, and this sounds like it’s going to give me everything. Excuse me as I sit here waiting for September to come and get her spook on.
This is one of my more anticipated reads, as well! I can’t say no to books about witches and dark magic.

Ooookay, that premise does sound way awesome. I mean, sacrifice has got to entail some delicious drama and action, and I love stories like that. 😀 I hope you review this one! I’d love to hear your thoughts on it if you ever get around to reading it.
