Where Darkness Blooms by Andrea Hannah

3.0

I must say, the title is very fitting to the plot. A small, isolated town that seems overrun by sunflowers has a dark secret: the land feeds on women's blood. That's not a spoiler by the way. It was mentioned in the prologue. Because of that, there's no mystery on what exactly is the enemy, and why many women have gone missing through the years. The story focuses on how the 4 girls investigate their mother's disappearance.

While this failed to become a new favourite, I am a reader who reads for the vibes. I loved the chronic windstorms, the endless sunflowers, the disturbing deaths, the wind carrying whispers and warnings, and the angsty teenagers. It was very immersive.

There are a lot of plot holes though. The ending is also not believable enough.
