Made me think of Scorpio Races. Interesting and original twist, that although fresh, decreased the overall enjoyability for me.

A story about three witches drowned two hundreds ago who come back every year to enact their revenge? Sign me up! I put a hold on this book at them library the moment I heard about, and after waiting FOREVER, I finally got my hands on it. After all that waiting it was just ok. Good premise, just couldn’t get into it

Vaya por delante que tenía pensado darle 3 estrellas, pero cuando al final comprendes la historia que te está contando Ernshaw, viene el cabreo (si tienes dos dedos de frente): o sea, que el espíritu condenado de una bruja se apodera los últimos 3 años de una joven sin ninguna culpa, dedicándose a hacer que esa joven inocente mate gente (incluido su padre y el hermano del chico del que se enamora), pero como, al final, se arrepiente y la deja ir, nos cae bien y la perdonamos. Y a Penny que le den morcilla. Incluso Bo sigue queriendo a la bruja que ahogó a su hermano, aún sabiéndolo, antes que a Penny.

Mira, no. No he sido capaz de sentir la más mínima empatía por Hazel. Porque no, no es veroísimil. Es mala, y lo que hace no es perdonable. Y este es un problema que recorre todo el libro: no me lo he creído en ningún momento. ¿Adolescentes que hablan y actúan como adultos? No, gracias. ¿Una maldición que todo el mundo sabe cómo funciona y que pasa todos los años los últimos dos siglos, y nadie tiene los dedos de frente de, no sé, clausurar la playa mientras dure? ¿O simplemente marcharse del pueblo? Nada tiene sentido.

Mención aparte para el cliché de las "mujeres malas" que representan las hermanas: las seductoras crueles y vanidosas. Lo hemos visto mil veces, me aburro.

De verdad, pobre Penny y menuda chorrada de historia inverosímil.

I freaking loved it but when they fall in love only for him to continue to forever be in love with Hazel but having to live with Penny? Idk I feel bad for her and him and AGH EMOTIONS
