Description

Coffee-shilling twenty-something trash-witch Silvana Smith is down on her luck. She's stuck wallowing in the unrequited drama of her hometown, saddled with student debt, and the bank wants her house. Seeing no strictly rational path to deliverance, she turns to the eldritch rituals and wicked spirits of an ancient goetic grimoire for help. Committing herself to the magical book's elaborate ordeals of skullduggery, Silvana aims to call up a demon, form a pact, and attain her heart's desires. As it so happens, a lord of hell can be dangerous company to keep when you aren't too clear on the details.

The concept is interesting, but to this feels its made to appeal to a certain group of people who already have some knowledge of celtic/occult lore.
I might be mistaking the folklores entirely, but it points out that this story expects some form of prior knoledge of the reader, as it does not evem try to explain most of what is happening.
The Grammar is good, havent seem a mistake yet, but can't say I'm digging the format in which the story told.
It somehows feel oddly impersonal for a first person perspective, its a little rambly, and Idk I just find reading it a wee bit odd, the pacing is little too rushed for a first person personal tale. I wont tell you how to write your story, but I have to say the Third Person PoV in the Prologue felt much more natural and coherent, and I feel like it would've fit this story better.
Overall I think this is a nice niche story, it feels a bit rough around the edges, but its certainly enjoyable.
Mostly reviewing this because the story is a bit old and has quite a few chappys, yet a staggeringly low ammount of reviews for some reason, and I've seem much worse stories being better rated.
