I was sent an advance review copy by Harper Voyager for an honest review, and here it is. 
 I tried, but I just can't. I don't care enough about witchy old biddies passive aggressively fighting about who slept with who, and who runs the town. And their weird, unexplained witchcraft is interesting, but it's never fleshed out enough for it to really make sense, or seem to drive the story. I don't care about the inner politics or drama of their town, I don't care about the evil the unleashed upon themselves, as they deserve it, as far as I'm concerned, and I especially don't care that it's coming back to haunt them. I'm assuming this mystery and evil follows the families to present day, as the next chapter starts out as set in 2015, but I just... can't care enough to keep going. :/ 
 I'm sure if you're into thriller mysteries you could probably at least get past chapter five, but I have other things that definitely interest me more than this ever could. The prose is wordy and boring, the characters are so unlikable and almost wooden despite their tribulations that I found myself rooting for their inevitable self destruction. 
 Good luck, Alex. I'm sure your niche will appreciate your work, but it's just not for me.
