You may not expect it but there is some pretty intense horror and body horror if you’re super weak stomachedemma_b_rhodes's review against another edition

A five of cups book at its core. Definitely want to reread this late October, when I think the pages will speak even more than they did now, at the start of spring.

We are introduced to one of our main characters, Mackenzie (Mack), who returns home after noticing crows following her and having ominous dreams about her sister who passed away about a year ago. Upon her arrival, her dreams intensify and involve her cousins, leading them to uncover the nature of Sabrina’s death.
This book features themes of healing past trauma, passing on traditions from generation to generation, and finding your way back home, both physically and emotionally.
I was so captivated by Mackenzie’s story and her own journey of her grief. It’s hard to confront loss head on and that is an aspect of her character development throughout the book that I found very authentic.
Moderate: Death and Child death
