5.0

I loved the small town setting, and the characters are all distinct and have their own issues and flaws. I’m a sucker for a lighthouse, and loved the way the one in this story was utilized.

Also a sucker for a good witch story, but a lot of the more mystical elements don’t become super clear until more towards the end of the book

also loved that this book varied the lengths of its mystery threads. Some answers it would give very soon after setting the mystery up, but it held one or two secrets for the end of the book. This is one I’ll probably read again one day, and need to own a physical copy of.
