The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude
3.0
"In nature, ivy and heather never grew together. They couldn't because ivy liked shade, whereas heather required sun. They did better apart because, side by side, one withered."
This was an interesting mystery, full of lore and magic of a world away. Ivy lives in a glen. One full of old customs and wive's tales - where a cut is helped with a salve and cup of homemade tea. Where stings of heather can protect and red strings dipped in wax can scare away the bad. It's an odd world, and one that was interesting to slide into and experience with Ivy.
But I thought the mysteries were a little easy and the toughest part was wanting to shake Rook and Ivy for not seeing it. I loved Rook - what a strong character he was, even if most of the time he was silent. Heather was also a force of her own and one I found interesting as well. all in all, I enjoyed it.
