I want to thank Storm Publishing, and Net Galley for allowing me to get an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! 

The prologue did a great job at hooking you into Christmas time at New York City, when Detective Maria Miller and her partner are called to a crime scene and the story takes off 3 years after that fateful night. 

One of the coolest aspects of this story, was the history of murders being investigated, not to mention including an Ouija board and other satanic/supernatural elements. The shorter chapters make this a breeze to read through as well. I’m not gonna lie I really loved the 2 older women as the story develops and as they take more of a role in the developing story. 

As for my reservations, my only issue is that I want more books with these characters! This is my first time reading this author and I can’t wait to read more. 

Overall I was absolutely enthralled in this story from beginning to end. There’s so many lovable characters you’re bound to find one that you like. This is also the perfect read for spooky season!  

Would recommend for those who are fans of
  • Supernatural Mystery 
  • New York City setting
  • Plot driven stories
  • Non-Linear timelines
  • Multiple POVs

⚠️ gore, violence
