I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this book. From the first few pages I was invested in this story and these characters journey. Emer, Zara, and Jude are three young ladies with ties to the occult. Zara desperately wants to bring her sister back to life after she is murdered. Jude is desperate to find a witch who can fix the invocation that screwed up her life. Emer is a witch, one who has thr ability to craft invocations, but she is unable to give either girl what she so desperately wants. Then there is the serial killer aspect of the book that completely took me by surprise. I was actaully shocked when I found out who the killer was! I also love the surprise twist about Jude's family. I hope that the author writes a second book about Emer's path with Bael, because I am all for reading that story. So glad I picked this one up as it did not disappoint.
