The book took a little bit to get going but once it did it didn't stop. I adored the dynamic between Emer (a witch/cursewriter), Jude ( cursed and a billionaire's daughter) and Zara (wants to bring her sister back from dead). Three women thrown together in pretty shitty circumstances who ultimately band together when Emer's clients start turning up dead. The book is quite dark and has a focus on male entitlement and misogyny and the impact on the women in the story. The three women are fierce, well-rounded characters and really carry the narrative with their determination to catch the killer and meet their own goals.

There was more gore and violence than I was expecting, paricularly violence (including death) against women.
