Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I really wanted to like this book as it has so much going for it: small-town Kansas, Halloween, witches, complicated family dynamics. But I honestly think it tried to do too much. There were so many little plots floating around that it was hard for me to keep everything straight and care about any of the characters.Is it bad that I was kind of hoping Rose would take over Flair? I found myself skimming the last 20% to get to the ending.
