This was *so* close to being good. Too many things didn't come together though. I have unanswered questions and, it's weird to say, but there wasn't enough conflict. Everyone is running around outside hiding from each other the whole time. I picked this up because it's set in Mobile, AL, where I live. I would've liked mentions of specific, real places, but the rain was accurate!

The concept is original, dark, & wicked. Character development was spot on- I even had fun hating the characters that were meant to be hated- they felt like real people. The only major issue I had was all the loose ends and unanswered questions. Some things took place without reason, and maybe the author intended for the reader to follow their gut assumptions, but I would have much rather had the story feel complete.

Home sick today so I finished this interesting thriller. It had some magic, raising of the dead, and some mystery.

I liked when this book went back on time and dealt with super natural things. The parts set in the present were ok, but less awesome. I liked the overall tone of the book, though.

My biggest THANK YOU goes out today to @aprilpohren for my #booktoteswap and the absolute most important parts: my books! #TheBreathless and #TheNovemberGirl - both at the top of my wishlist for some time. I LOVE THEM. And especially for my cute kitty bag. I‘m afraid my sweets will be stolen immediately by my child, whose birthday is tomorrow...although the Lindt balls are mine. Can‘t wait to review the books! 😘💕💕

Yellowpigeon That bag. 😻 7y

Bookmail! This ARC came in a box with black paper, and had a wrapper on it to make it look like an old leather journal. Very creepy! There was also a letter on worn parchment that 100% set the stage for this story. Three sisters become two, and the investigation into the mysterious death of one sister could have dark and dangerous consequences for the other two. 🕯🔮🗝🚪📜This looks like one fun read!

mjdowens How nice that they took so much time to make it look so authentic. Makes your purchase worth so much more 7y
ReadingEnvy Wow that's cool 7y
MorganNotMegan @mjdowens I didn't actually purchase this! The publisher sent an ARC to me and this was the publicity packaging. I wish all books were sent like this! 7y
mjdowens Hey, free is even better right? I hope the book is an enjoyable read🤗 7y
