3.0

The Change by Kirsten Miller had an intriguing premise: women descended from witches discover they are drawn to murder victims, with a purpose to find, solve, and punish. While they become aware of this around puberty, their abilities don’t fully develop until they go through “The Change.”

I wanted to love this book, but while it wasn’t terrible, it fell flat for me. I didn’t feel particularly drawn to any of the women, and the mystery itself wasn’t all that compelling.

Overall, it was just okay. Maybe if I’d gone in with lower expectations, I would have enjoyed it more—but ultimately, this one left me disappointed.
