REVIEW
“A Twisted Thriller of Betrayal, Vengeful Murder, and Long-Buried Secrets”
This took me a bit to get into but it soon captured my attention. There are multiple POVs, a lot of twists, and many people who would want revenge so I didn’t guess who the murderer was which I enjoyed. I liked the protectiveness of the sisters and their differences. There were many layers to their characters. I liked the “witchcraft” and the use of herbs weaved into the storyline. It’s one of those books that I not quite sure about while reading it but when I’m finished it all makes sense and I’m really glad I read it. Overall good read!
