“Pink for the bond we share, everlasting. White for a blank and purifying slate. Out with the old, in with the new.”
Four women come together to investigate the haunting murder of their friend, (Sofia). They are trying to find whoever or whatever killed her. Frankie, (Sofia’s twin), Cass, Poppy, and Marya are all connected through the need to find justice for their murdered friend. While they are investigating something is haunting them, a shadow presence that goes beyond anything they could ever imagine. Sofia’s secrets come to light, as well as something that goes thump in the night.
Mallory Pearson stunning debut novel is something any horror fan should pick up. The gorgeous detailing right down to the amazing characters. This book has it all. The ominous scenes like the roots of a tree, leading back to one source. As the book goes on you feel yourself grieving alongside the character in the lost of their friend, as well as their need to understand what truly happened to Sofia.
This book was my introduction to horror and it was one of the best introductions I could have gotten. The stunning words that flow through these pages, the way the characters come to life off the page. The ending of this book leaves you wanting more. This book is added to the list of books I’m going to recommend to everyone.
