After the death of her mother, Mirabelle flies to California to settle her estate. But almost immediately, strange things began to happen. People describe Mira's mother in ways that is totally unrecognizable to her, and Mira, who has always found herself obsessing over her skincare, finds herself drawn over and over again to a bizzare spa with dubious treatments that leave her memories fuzzy.

The book was solid overall, I'm just not a huge horror fan. But this could be a great pick for someone searching for a female, POC-led thriller!
