At first I was so confused but it ended up being a really good book! Not a fan of the every other chapter flashbacks but in the end it wasn’t too bad!

The last 3rd of the book was really good. Im not sure i would have finished it if I were physically reading it though. Also, the way the audiobook is recorded, one person is loud and shrill and the other is super low so I was up & down with the volume more than I wanted to (not an issue with the book itself obviously, just made it a difficult listen sometimes).
Reseña: Corazones Retorcidos de Melissa Albert
Si buscas una lectura espeluznante para la temporada de Halloween, Corazones Retorcidos de Melissa Albert es un imperdible. Este libro me tuvo pegado a sus páginas de principio a fin, envolviéndome en una atmósfera de misterio, magia oscura y una buena dosis de terror psicológico que me hizo sentir que alguien me observaba… incluso cuando estaba solo.
La historia de Ivy y Dana, madre e hija, se entrelaza de manera magistral. En el presente, seguimos a Ivy mientras intenta desentrañar un misterio que se desencadena con la aparición de una extraña y una serie de eventos perturbadores. En el pasado, vemos cómo Dana, con la ayuda de sus amigas, explora su poder y desata fuerzas oscuras que nunca deberían haber tocado. La conexión entre ambas líneas temporales es fascinante, mostrando cómo las decisiones y los secretos de una generación pueden marcar a la siguiente.
Albert domina el arte de mantenerte en suspenso, logrando que el miedo y la intriga se sientan casi palpables. Me encantó cómo el libro explora el peligro del deseo de poder y las decisiones que lo acompañan. El mundo de las brujas, la magia oscura y los aquelarres que crea es siniestro, cautivador y perfecto para quienes disfrutan de historias de brujas con un toque satírico y oscuro.
Si disfrutaste Agatha en todas partes, este libro debería estar en tu lista. Melissa Albert ha conseguido crear una experiencia literaria que te atrapa, te inquieta y te deja deseando más de su pluma.
Calificación: ★★★★☆ (4 de 5 estrellas)

I received an advance copy of this book in a giveaway. While the first few pages made me worry it would be a little too Twilight for my taste, I devoured the rest in a few days. What on the surface is a tale of dark magic is ultimately a meditation on the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, our mistakes, and the paths we take toward understanding own histories.
And since others have mentioned the bunny knocker on the cover, I saw it as an omen that the past will come knocking, no matter how hard we try to hide.

if you’re looking for a spooky book full of magic and powerful women, then this is your book.
the whole time i was reading this book, i was completely submerged. it drew me in from the very beginning & i was so shocked by every twist and turn.
the book is broken up into three parts and told between past and present. i enjoyed the past honestly more - i’m glad those chapters were longer because they were so interesting. i loved learning about the magic, and how they found it. the writing really draws you into the story and makes you understand. no feeling, thought or action is left unexplained.
this book was so well thought out & the way it came full circle was So satisfying - i was literally jaw dropping when i realized what was going on. i honestly would read a whole series based on the characters in this book.
on top of the main plot, we get a small subplot of a romance and it is SO CUTE. next door neighbors, friends since childhood like YES.
the mother daughter aspect was heart wrenching. i felt so bad for ivy the entire time but she’s such a bad bitch! literally the best girl.
this reminded me so much of like bonnie from tvd meets practical magic - so difficult to explain but it was the perfect fall read.
go read this!!!
