It’s a tense read that somehow cranks up the creep factor while you aren’t looking, until you’re holding your breath as you desperately hope for Madeline and Catlin to come through alive. As Madeline learns more about her innate talent for witchcraft and her sexuality, Catlin falls under the spell of a strange boy and becomes a shadow of her former self… and that’s without worrying about the missing girls and the animal corpses that keep showing up.

We follow Madeline and Catlin as they move to the small town of Ballyfrann after their mother remarries.
