Where Darkness Blooms by Andrea Hannah

3.5

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!!

This book is very strange, dark, and mysterious.  Luckily,  that is my favorite kind of book!

Bishop is a really small town that feels even smaller and narrow minded  the more I learned about it.  The prologue begins with a short preview of what is behind the darkness of this town.  Specifically it needs blood, and as it so happens, the sacrifices are always women.  

There are four main characters and four pov which is a bit daunting for a standalone.  They live together, two twin sisters and two other girls, in the house they lived in with their mothers before their mysterious disappearance.   This story is about fighting for the truth, their rights, particularly as women in a town ruled by men who seem to take as much as the blood hungry soil.  

I thought this was an interesting read and I really enjoyed it.  However,  I have a few thoughts about the ending but I don't want to include spoilers.
