Expected publication May 14, 2024

This book follows the adventures of two witchy sisters, Leona and Jewel, who live in a small Appalachian town. When a girl is murdered, the two sisters set out to find the culprit and solve the mystery. This book is dialogue heavy, with a Southern accent undertone. I did manage to make it 50% in because the characters are pretty likable and the magic descriptions were pretty great. Sadly I started noticing some redundant sentences and noticed myself skimming, so I decided to abandon the book. It just didn't keep my attention.

This would probably be a good book for readers that love Witchy, Southern mystery themes. Overall, the author's writing is readable and the characters likable, I just couldn't stay interested in the plot.
