Woohoo! You know when you’re reading a book and you’re hoping the author will put the characters in one scenario or that a certain mystery will reveal itself at a certain time, and they actually deliver? This is one of those books. Five sisters are maybe or maybe not turning into dogs and wreaking havoc on their 17th century town, and many hijinks ensue as you move through the POV of different town folk. Rare where a book can be both fun and moody, but this definitely checks both boxes.
