Synopsis

Elliott D’Angelo-Brandt is sick and tired of putting up with it all. Every week, she attends a support group for teen victims of sexual assault, but all they do is talk. Elliott’s done with talking. What she wants is justice. And she has a plan for getting it: a spell book that she found in her late mom’s belongings that actually works. Elliott recruits a coven of fellow survivors from the group. She, Madeline, Chloe, and Bea don’t have much in common, but they are united in their rage at a system that heaps judgments on victims and never seems to punish those who deserve it. As they each take a turn casting a hex against their unrepentant assailants, the girls find themselves leaning on each other in ways they never expected—and realizing that revenge has heavy implications. Each member of the coven will have to make a choice: continue down the path of magical vigilantism or discover what it truly means to claim their power. For Girls Who Walk Through Fire is a fierce and deeply moving novel about perseverance in the face of injustice and the transformational power of friendship.

Goodreads review by Hannah

"The world used to set fire to witches, but now it's time that we witches set fire to the world." This story of teen survivors of SA learning witchcraft to exact revenge in the name of justice grows more riveting with every passing chapter.

Goodreads review by Emms

Please be aware that this book is infuriating, rage inducing, and very, very triggering. Rape, assault, molestation, non consentual images and videos released. Add in not being believed, having a judge give a slap on the wrist because the rapist just made a one time mistake and has such a bright futu......more

Goodreads review by Deborah

This book seems to come from a good place. It wants to say that revenge won't make you whole. The problem is that the context is all wrong. I love a story about a character so obsessed with revenge they lose themselves. The problem is that these girls have had their senses of self taken from them al......more

Strong start but story stalled halfway through. Pacing was inconsistent. The plot was decent but the ending was a bit of a let down.......more
