✨ARC MINI REVIEW✨

I want to thank @netgalley and Tor Publishing Group for gifting me this ARC in exchange for my honest review. 

I have to say I really enjoyed this book! It was different than what I normally read and I was here for it! 

I loved the spooky vibes that the book gives off as you never quite know what’s going to happen. The mother is this sorceress who has stifled her daughter into a life that’s barely worth living. She has no regard for anyone else and is out for a man to marry to set her up for life. 

The dual POV is one I didn’t expect as it’s between our FMC and this older woman who she eventually meets. The two unlikely friends slowly build a relationship and our FMC opens up to the horrors she has witnessed at her mother hands. Thus a plot is born….

You never quite know who to trust or what’s going to happen, the author keeps you on your toes as they delivers blow after blow— pushing the story along. This book is riddled with minor twists that add to the spooky factor but aren’t necessarily shocking. 

This book is filled with a sense of helplessness and fear from our FMCs point of view but there is a small spark of hope as her world broadens and she realizes that there are people who care for her. —- even as she tries to explain something that shouldn’t be possible.

Such an amazing book and I’m really glad I read it!
