From Little Stack

Supernatural was no stranger to getting a little meta and, from its run in 2005 to 2020, it saw the rise of the Internet and many new technologies, and even dealing with rival ghost hunters who record their investigations for social media.

Enter Burn The Dark by S.A. Hunt, the first book of three in the Malus Domestica series. Robin is a YouTuber gone viral with her witch hunting Internet series, but she has a secret. While her fans chart her success down to good production values and strong writing, Robin is an actual witch hunter, and she’s taking them down one upload at a time.

Seeking vengeance on a coven of witches, Burn The Dark embraces the horror whilst keeping the action strong, and reminds me of the witch-centric Supernatural episodes throughout its run. Funny, fast-paced and frequently terrifying, the Malus Domestica trilogy comes recommended.
