Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
A darkly funny, frightening novel about a young woman learning how to take what she wants from a witch who may be too good to be true, from the author of The Return.
All her life, Annie has played it nice and safe. After being unceremoniously dumped by her longtime boyfriend, Annie seeks a fresh start. She accepts a teaching position that moves her from Manhattan to a small village upstate. She’s stunned by how perfect and picturesque the town is. The people are all friendly and warm. Her new apartment is dreamy too, minus the oddly persistent spider infestation.
Then Annie meets Sophie. Beautiful, charming, magnetic Sophie, who takes a special interest in Annie, who wants to be her friend. More importantly, she wants Annie to stop apologizing and start living for herself. That’s how Sophie lives. Annie can’t help but gravitate toward the self-possessed Sophie, wanting to spend more and more time with her, despite the fact that the rest of the townsfolk seem…a little afraid of her. And like, okay. There are some things. Sophie’s appearance is uncanny and ageless, her mansion in the middle of the woods feels a little unearthly, and she does seem to wield a certain power…but she couldn’t be…could she?

“3.5 ⭐️
I love a witchy read, and this one gave those vibes in a unique way when compared to the typical witchy book. The sequence of events was definitely not what I expected, but it was still enjoyable and engaging. I would classify this as magical realism with a spooky twist 🔮”

“I know people like the main character exists, but she annoyed the mess out of me. She basically went through this entire story learning to be content with herself. There were many things I would have like to know more about. Like was he mom like her. Did she ever reach out to her dad? what's the real issue with Oscar and Sophia?”
