Wow, this wasn't what I expected. It was way darker than I anticipated, but so good.

The book took a little bit to get going but once it did it didn't stop. I adored the dynamic between Emer (a witch/cursewriter), Jude ( cursed and a billionaire's daughter) and Zara (wants to bring her sister back from dead). Three women thrown together in pretty shitty circumstances who ultimately band together when Emer's clients start turning up dead. The book is quite dark and has a focus on male entitlement and misogyny and the impact on the women in the story. The three women are fierce, well-rounded characters and really carry the narrative with their determination to catch the killer and meet their own goals.

There was more gore and violence than I was expecting, paricularly violence (including death) against women.

The beginning of the book started out a bit slow for me and was difficult to get into with switching between 3 POVs. But once I got further in the book things started to flow and I became invested in the story.

The 3 main characters were easy to differentiate between while I was reading and it was easy to get invested in their storylines. I did not see things taking the dark turn that they did.
