MY REVIEW:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book had so much going on but I could keep up with it. It starts out with the death of Colette. She is the mother of Detective Quinn's boyfriend. Things go all wrong after that. Josie finds something in Colette's house which turns her into full detective mode and starts enquiries into missing people and things from a long time ago. But it also put Josie's and Noah's relationship on hold and it is strained to the max. Then Noah's sister is mean to Josie and treating her like a pariah and Noah as a child. I really liked how Josie and her team worked together even if they didn't always agree with her but they still respected each other. AT first I did not like their boss Chitwood. But then I realized his bark was much worse than his bite. The only person I did not like was Laura, Noah's sister. I am not sure if it was her real personality or her pregnancy hormones making her into a witch. I also wasn't always happy with the way Hoah treated Josie but then again I think it was mostly his grief talking.
I received this from NetGalley and Bookouture for an honest review.
