I fell for her being the victim, haunted both literally and by grief for those of their group who passed. Finding out it was her literally being haunted by guilt and by Elora for killing her left my jaw on the floor.
Overall, I loved the magical aspect of all these psychic abilities those in La Cachette had. The intrigue that followed decades of murders, guilt and lies. Ginny is a beyond talented author, truly having my heart beat for all the

The story inside most definitely matched the beautifully gothic cover on the outside. It was dark and tense and I could see it clearly in my mind. It was mysterious and reflective, and had an amazing build up.
For taking place in such a short amount of time, the characters had so much depth to them. Even the characters that were no longer in the story. They were rich and felt so real, despite most of them having not so real abilities.
The setting was perfect. It transported me to the bayou. The descriptions, the feel of the words, and the way the characters spoke all anchored me to the story and location.
I definitely enjoyed this one. It had a tiny bit of predictability that allowed the truly shocking twists to be hidden. It unfolded in a perfect way, just like a hurricane.

This was so angsty, dark and mysterious and I absolutely ate it up. No crumbs.
The twists were unexpected. I was riveted. I was hooked. Sure, I couldn't keep track of all the Summer children, but luckily we only follow a smaller amount out of them all.
The characters were unsettling and the acts of violence was shocking.
This was fantastic and I really enjoyed listening to this.
I'm looking forward to listening to another of the authors' books that I have on my library app.
Moderate: Violence and Murder
