Holy shit. This book!

I loved this. Three bad ass women who have had their fill of the flawed and broken patriarchal society that has tried, their entire lives, to tell them who they are, what they should think and what they can do. 

Told from multiple points of views, and differing timelines, this is a well woven tale of misogyny and horror, with some much needed humour, love and friendship. I laughed out loud, repeatedly.

A great supernatural crime-thriller for women everywhere, with twists and turns that made me not want to put this one down.

Harriett is my new idol. I’d worship at her alter.

I have a feeling I will be raving about this book for a long time to come.

this was a ride. 

but what a ride it was!

so many true moments how the world women love in and how horrible some things are but how nice some can be as well.

this book had a lot going on but it all worked and it was wonderful. 

i loved how it’s written.
the characters are fantastic. 
the story was horrifyingly realistic but so well done. 

it all worked and i loved it.
