Emer, Zara, and Jude are three young women that are struggling, alone. Until they find each other. Then they're still struggling, but at least they have each other. Emer is hiding her dangerous witchy talents, Zara is determined to bring her sister back from the dead, and Jude is desperate to break the curse she placed on herself. But a killer is stalking women they know, and they'll be next on the list if they can't figure out how to stop him in time...
I absolutely adored this book! I loved House of Hollow so I had high hopes for this one, and fortunately I was not at all disappointed. The three main characters are all excellently rendered, and the pace of the story moves along at a nice clip after the first 15% or so. I loved how dark and gritty this book was, and the magic system around invocations and demons was so unique. I didn't find the reveal of the killer to be super surprising (I, too, have a head for languages), but this didn't detract from my enjoyment at all. Great dialogue between the characters as well, especially Jude!!
I highly recommend this one if you like witchy reads, gothic vibes, and strong young female characters.
