Where Darkness Blooms by Andrea Hannah
3.0

Received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This one is more of a 3.5 for me but I just didn't round up to 4 stars. Our book starts off interestingly creepy with a quick backstory on our land. It's vague but intriguing and has you sucked in for more. Once we hit "modern-day" is when our pacing slows and things get a little distracted.

Our main character all lost their mothers on the same day and no one really knows why. Now no one is really surprised considering the town has a history of this happening to girls. Which absolutely no one has really questioned it seems like. We cut between povs of the girls to find out what led them to the day their mother disappears and so on.

I enjoyed the creepy factor we're given and the great tension that built up the entire book, the pacing had me flicking through but I was adamant about sticking to it because I wanted to know what happened. Everyone around them seems super suspicious the entire time to me and none of it really sits right, and when you do find out some truth you'll be happy you questioned everyone's motives from the start.
