Editorial Review For The Ada Witch
Two brothers
with too much time and too little sense try to summon a local ghost story for
kicks. Predictably, it goes poorly. The Ada Witch follows Matt and Steve as their dumb
prank awakens a spirit with a grudge, leading to cursed graves, creaky bridges,
and the slow realization that they’re in way over their heads. The story leans
into the idea that some legends are better left alone—and that maybe
don’t-mess-with-the-supernatural warnings exist for a reason.
The book’s
main selling point is how efficiently it escalates. Once the witch is loose,
there’s no filler. Every chapter tightens the screws, pushing the brothers
closer to either solving the mess they made or becoming part of the town’s
casualty count. The author’s claim that it’s “inspired by a personal
experience” adds a layer of cheeky intrigue, even if you’re side-eyeing how
much of that is marketing spin.
Horror thrives
on familiar fears, and this one taps into the evergreen appeal of “what if that
campfire story was real?” It fits snugly into the trend of regional folklore
turned into page-turners, where every small town has a secret body count. If
you’ve ever rolled your eyes at characters making obviously terrible choices,
this won’t convert you—but it’s a solid entry for readers who like their scares
straightforward and their pacing relentless.
This is for
people who want a horror novel that doesn’t pretend to be literature. It’s
unapologetic, brisk, and built for late-night reading. If you’re into local
legends, sibling dynamics that range from loyal to lethally stupid, or stories
where the monster actually does things, give it a shot.
Worth the read? Sure—if you’re okay with side effects like
checking your locks twice or reconsidering that midnight walk. Just don’t blame
the book when your power goes out.
