Thank you to NetGalley for the arc.
With a cover and a title like this, what can go wrong?
A lot.
Five POVs. Subpar twists. Way too much happening for me to focus on one thing at a time. I felt like my brain was knocking around in there and I couldn’t get focused. Nothing truly shocking happens since everything is sort of upfront and in your face. I did not feel connected to the characters or the story. There was so much anger and so much confusion in the characters that in the tiny bits of breaks, it felt forced. Not to mention one POV was completely forgotten by the end of the book as if he didn’t matter, which I guess he really didn’t if I had to choose.
That being said, this story did have amazing Celtic folklore and I loved the setting and the family dynamics. I felt a bit of The Craft and maybe some Sabrina, but we didn’t get too in-depth to feel that connection I did with characters from both of those examples.
This may seem like a scathing review, but it’s not. I don’t think this was the book for me and others may enjoy it immensely.
