***I received an ARC ahead of release, via Netgalley, through the St. Martin's Press Influencer Program***
OMG what a perfect fall read! I'd call this a cozy, low stakes, witchy fall book. I say cozy/low stakes because the "twist" was kinda obvious from the start...but I almost feel that was intentional 🤷🏽♀️...to give us those horror movie moments of yelling at the characters with the info we know that they should know.
We do get a romance but this book is definitely more about two sisters bond, finding themselves, and uncovering years of family secrets.
This book gave me all the same feels [warm/magical/family legacy/secrets] that I got when I read "In the Shadow Garden" by Liz Parker.
As the weather starts to shift us into Fall, aka the best season, and you're looking for a book to cuddle under a blanket with while sipping on a hot mug of tea...definitely get your hands on this book when it releases!
