Book description

"Once I opened VenCo, I was propelled through an entire night of charmed reading. Cherie Dimaline creates a world utterly fantastical, yet real. VenCo is funny, tense, and cracking with a dark, divine energy."  ---Louise Erdrich, New York Times bestselling author of The Sentence

Why read it?

1 author picked VenCo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book has everything I love: witches, found family, LGBTQ+ and Indigenous representation, and burning down the patriarchy. Did I mention witches?

The main character, Métis witch Lucky St. James, is profoundly relatable, as are the other witches in her coven; the magic systems are authentic and intriguing; and the villain is appropriately dark and menacing.

It was a fun, engrossing read, and I was sad when I closed the cover for the final time. I’ll be rereading this one, and I hope Dimaline has more stories planned for these remarkable witches!
