Book three in this series!!! I received this as an arc through NetGalley and I am absolutely hooked. If you love witchy plot lines with a little political upheaval thrown in this is the series for you. These books are set in the small town of St Cyprian at the convergence of three rivers (immensely powerful for magic). It gives small town Gilmore girl vibes, with some political upheaval discovery of witches style. A group of friends come together to form their own coven and oust the current ruling coven. I cannot wait for the fourth and final book of this series.

Book two in this series did not disappoint. Each book has a standalone couple story as well as the large overarching story that continues on from book one. I really like that there’s multiple plot lines kind of happening at the same time without it being overwhelming. I love this story.

I received this book as an ARC and it was fantastic. I really love historical fiction especially set during WW2 or after. This book followed three women through their life and struggles during the war. Each very different.
