Do What Godmother Says by L.S. Stratton

4.0

This was written really well, I immediately got sucked into both stories taking place in two different times lines from two different POV. This was a slow burn that was full of twists and turns, even though it was pretty obvious what some of those twists were it was still eerie and full of suspense so I really enjoyed it, I don't think it took anything away from the story. I think L.S. Stratton did a great job incorporating the Harlem Renaissance history into the story inspired by Charlotte Osgood Mason and and Zora Neale Hurston which sent me down a google rabbit hole.

Also at first I didn't care for the added romance in this book but it grew on me throughout LOL maybe 'Ill even check out a romance book now. Am I a low key romance girlie now? maybe.

I cant wait to read more from this author in the future.

Read this if you enjoy: historical thriller/mysteries, dual pov, dual timelines, slow burn, occult, superstitions, historical fiction, mental health rep. 

Thank you to Union Square & Co, Netgalley, and L.S. Stratton for sharing a digital copy. As always, opinions are my own.
