Synopsis: Ever since her mother walked out, Trix McCabe has been determined to make it on her own. And with her near-magical gift for pulling valuables off unsuspecting strangers, Trix is confident she has what it takes to survive. Until she’s caught and given a choice: jail time, or go live with her long-lost family in the tiny town of Rocksaw, Kansas.
Trix doesn’t plan to stick around Rocksaw long, but there’s something special about her McCabe relatives that she is drawn to. Her aunt, Mia, bakes pies that seem to cure all ills. Her cousin, Ember, can tell a person’s deepest secret with the touch of a hand. And Trix’s great-aunt takes one look at Trix’s palm and tells her that if she doesn’t put down roots somewhere, she won’t have a future anywhere.
Before long, Trix feels like she might finally belong with this special group of women in this tiny town in Kansas. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she’ll have to decide whether to take a chance on this new life . . . or keep running from the one she’s always known.
With lovable and flawed characters, an evocative setting, and friendships to treasure, A Constellation of Roses is the perfect companion to Miranda Asebedo’s debut novel The Deepest Roots.
Review: Oh my god this book was a masterpiece! I absolutely loved this story and I loved how it was a side story to the wonderful and underrated The Deepest Roots. The author has a gift for speaking in the perfect character tones. The character development was amazing, the world building was solid, and the writing was heartbreaking. This book will make you weep for Trix.
The only downside I have to this is that I feel the book could have had more crossovers lol. I’m a sucker for them, so sue me! I would have loved to have a crossover with all of the mains but I think it’s amazing how it is. I’m deeply in love with this series and I would love to see more about this from the author.
Verdict: A must read if you like powerful feminist tales with magical powers.
