Such a nice little book, with witches and ghosts! I wasn't expecting the murder mystery aspect but I appreciated it.

The writing was nice, although there wasn't anything surprising about the "twists" - Audra was obviously the villain from the beginning and was behind the murders and disappearances. My main criticism is the writing of the "romances" for Ellie and Nia - there was no chemistry with Huw and the revelation of Nia being with Hari came out of nowhere...

Besides that, it was a nice book to read on a rainy day!
