Thank you to Thomas & Mercer and NetGalley for providing a review copy. 
This is a twisty, rain-soaked, atmospheric take of two sets of sisters and how their lives intertwine. This book takes the classic gothic tropes and fashions them into a murder mystery entangled in family secrets. I really enjoyed this book, although I felt it was a little long. I loved Christa Carmen's short story collection and I think she is absolutely one to watch in the horror genre. 4.5 stars, rounded up.
