The Circle of Blood by Alane Ferguson

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

I love this entire series but this is definitely the weakest of the 4 books, to me. I personally was never super invested in the subplot involving her mother, and it is the main focus here so it made it harder for me to get into it.
Spoiler the Jo Ann Whitaker subplot was truly surprising the first time I read it, and made for the reveal at the end really great. I was relieved I had already bought the final book and could start it right away. upon rereading tho this subplot is a little cringey and painful to get through, because you know what is coming. which to me is a good thing, just hard to reread ya know.
