 Rating: ★★★★☆

Dates Read: 6/7/23 - 6/10/23

There are no trigger warnings for this book, but I want to make mention of some pretty descriptive mentions of animal abuse.

    Cordelia Bone finds her meticulously constructed life and successful career in Dallas unraveling before her eyes, all thanks to a cheating husband burdened with criminal debts. Just when she feels like everything is falling apart, a call from her carefree older sister, Eustace, a cannabis grower in Boulder, brings unexpected news. Their great aunt, whom they've never met, has passed away, leaving behind an estate in a quaint Connecticut town. Seeing this as a chance to dig herself out of this hole, Cordelia jumps at the opportunity to unload the house.

    Once they arrive, the sisters learned they were getting much more than they bargained for. The Victorian mansion they just inherited is tangled in a dynasty trust controlled by their late aunt's attorney who insists they inhabit the house. Not to mention the sexy, tattooed groundskeeper with a mysterious past and a crypt full of their dead relatives on the property line.

    Navigating their challenging circumstances, both women confront a haunting family secret, unravel the mystery surrounding their mother's fate, and confront an age-old adversary lurking in the shadows. In a chilling whirlwind of terror and turmoil, the sisters must tap into their inner strength to mend their fractured bond, reverse their unexplained health issues, and embrace the lineage they once sought to escape. Survival at Bone Hill hinges on their ability to uncover their hidden power and claim their rightful place.

    This book has a sprinkle of everything. Ghosts, mystery, blood magic, witches, murder, romance, and a house that is described so vividly, you'd think it was alive. This book was fascinating. It was a bit hard to follow, mainly at the beginning, but it was honestly an amazing book. The story is so intricate and very well written. 

    I would be really interested in a sequel to see more of Cordelia and her sister settling into their powers and their creepy old house. I'd also like more of the groundskeeper. It was a bit easy to figure out who the antagonist of this story would be in my opinion, but the ending and the story overall made up for that. I truly enjoyed this and would love to read more from this author. A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
