Another fantastic read by Paulette Kennedy!
This book was such a page turner - the perfect combination of historical fiction, horror and mystery!
I was hooked into the story early in the beginning with great and easy to read writing style and fascinating plot that keep my eyes glued into my kindle!
The author definitely gives a thorough research to write this book that makes the readers feel transported back to the 1950s with Loretta.
I really enjoy my time following Loretta’s journey as she explore her new-found ability with Dr. Hansen as well as finding the courage to stand up for herself and save her kids.
Aside from that, I’m also intrigued with finding out the culprit behind the murder mystery and figuring out the identity of the real 'devil' in this story.
This story brings up several sensitive topics about how women was treated during the 1950s so I highly suggest checking out the trigger warnings below before reading this book.
Overall, this was a remarkable well written story that comes with a satisfying ending and justice for all the characters – a fitting end!
I will definitely keep an eye out for more books by this author in the future!
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
