And some things can never be undone. they must unite once more to fight the dark chaos they've unleashed - but is it already too late?" Review: This was not as amazing as I was hoping!!!! Ugh I’m so torn on this one. I’ve really become invested in the three leading characters in this story and I was hyped to read their epic conclusion. This was what everything has culminated to; the epic collision between humans-not-humans, monsters-not-monsters, and gods-not-gods. However, this book seemed to just be a copy-and-paste from the last book. Our group of villains are doing exactly what they did in the last book, squabbling amongst themselves and traveling to some unknown spot to sto...

  “Sixteen-year-old twins Madeline and Catlin move to a new life in Ballyfrann, a strange and isolated Irish town, a place where the earth is littered with small corpses and unspoken truths. A place where, for generations, teenage girls have gone missing in the surrounding mountains. As distance grows between the twins - as Catlin falls in love, and Madeline begins to understand her own nascent witchcraft - Madeline discovers that Ballyfrann is a place full of predators. And when Catlin falls into the gravest danger of all, Madeline must ask herself who she really is, and who she wants to be - or rather, who she might have to become to save her sister.” Review: This read was so much more interesting than I had anticipated. This was an Irish horror story with monsters and witches and more herbs than a horticulturist would know what to do with. Two twins in a town even more creepy than ever thought possible, and sacrifices so gruesome, no one would have ever agreed to come.  Thi...
