A review by lizzreads
The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis

5.0

For someone who hasn’t read anything by Maria Lewis before, I was sucked into the wailing woman and finished it in two days.
We follow Sadie, who is a banshee, as she loses one of her powers at the hand of a man, and continue to follow her throughout the story as she fights to stay alive, fights for her family and fights to be who she really is.
I’ve never read anything like this before and it was so refreshing.
The world building was amazing and her writing style just made me want to keep reading. The bond that Sadie has with her sisters was beautiful and was a centre point for the story.
I loved that all the characters shined on their own in their own ways, and each of them stood out to me which I loved.
And what’s not to love about a kick ass female lead who isn’t afraid to stand up and be herself?
Honestly, if you haven’t read anything by Maria Lewis before, you need to, and the wailing woman is a great place to start.

Thank you @hachetteaus for sending me a copy of this amazing book!
