Story
Esther Gold loves Halloween more than anything in the world. So she is determined to go trick-or-treating again this year despite the fact that her parents think she is officially too old. Esther has it all planned out, from her costume to her candy-collecting strategy. But when the night rolls around, something feels...off. No one is answering their door. The moon is an unnatural shade of orange. Strange children wander the streets, wearing creepy costumes that might not be costumes at all.

The Cloudkiss Killer is dead. Now a true-crime podcast is hosting a contest to find his bones. Lucy was almost the serial killer’s final victim. Carolina is a true-crime fan who fears her own rage. Maggie is a psychology student with a little too much to hide. All of them are looking for answers, for a new identity, for a place to bury their secrets.

Story
Sia practically grew up in the water scuba diving, and wreck dives are run-of-the-mill. Take the tourists out. Explore the reef. Uncover the secrets locked in the sunken craft. But this time...the dive goes terribly wrong. Attacked by a mysterious creature, Sia's boat is sunk, her customers are killed, and she washes up on a deserted island with no sign of rescue in sight. Waiting in the water is a seemingly unstoppable monster that is still hungry. In the jungle just off the beach are dangers best left untested.

Then she sees a “wanted” sign seeking Female Persons, of Martial or Magical ability, to guard a Lady of some Importance. Delly fast-talks her way into the job and joins a team of highly peculiar women tasked with protecting their wealthy charge from unknown assassins. Delly quickly sets her sights on one of her companions, the confident and well-bred Winn Cynallum. The job looks like nothing but romance and easy money until things take a deadly (and undead) turn.

Publisher's summary
Lush and chilling, with razor-sharp edges and an iron core of hope, this bewitching, powerhouse novel of two girls fighting back against the violence the world visits on them will stun and enchant listeners.
Girls have been going missing in the woods....
When Natasha’s sister disappears, Natasha desperately turns to Della, a local girl rumored to be a witch, in the hopes that magic will bring her sister home.
But Della has her own secrets to hide. She thinks the beast who’s responsible for the disappearances is her own mother - who was turned into a terrible monster by magic gone wrong.
Natasha is angry. Della has little to lose. Both are each other’s only hope.

Story
I didn't think answering someone else's cell phone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me. And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time.

Feeling suffocated by her new baby, in whose eyes she sees only her dead husband, she throws herself into a high-profile murder case.

The facts are public knowledge: five people have been murdered. Each has died from a blow to the head. And the media-dubbed Prince Charming killer has left a “calling card” with each victim. A single thornless rose. But there’s another fact...one that the police haven’t made public. Something no one, except the killer and the police, should know. But Gabriel Donner does - and he can’t figure out why. All he knows is that he’s begun hearing voices, sleepwalking and dreaming vividly of the murders...as they happen.

Sophie Winters nearly died. Twice. The first time, she's 14, and escapes a near-fatal car accident with scars, a bum leg, and an addiction to Oxy that'll take years to kick. The second time, she's 17, and it's no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina's murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery.

Ana and Reid needed a lucky break. The horrifically complicated birth of their first child has left Ana paralyzed, bitter, and struggling: with mobility, with her relationship with Reid, with resentment for her baby. That's about to change with the words any New Yorker would love to hear—affordable housing lottery. They've won an apartment in the Deptford, one of Manhattan's most revered buildings. Reid dismisses disturbing events and Ana’s deep unease and paranoia as the price of living in New York—people are odd—but he can't explain the needle-like bite marks on the baby.

Let’s go lesbians!
Barely put this one down and was very tempted to call into work to finish it that first day. Is it too cliche to say I was enchanted?
The southern gothic in this is such a good flavor for the darkness of the story. I usually don’t like pov shifts in books, but I will make an exception because of all the beautiful dramatic irony that ensued here.
Really well done on both the author and the voice actors. Would absolutely recommend!

Four and a Half Stars: Spooky Nature Read
Best to go in cold!
TW/CW: Not graphic, but themes of and references to abuse and violence.
Great spooky read about Nature and Human Nature.
Loved the descriptions, so sensory, some poetic.
Appreciated the themes and messaging. SO true!
That said, a couple brief instances writing was uncharacteristically indulgent with soap box monologues. Monologue I wholly agree with, but clumsily executed nonetheless.

A Murder Mystery to sink your teeth into…
This book has absolutely enraptured me. Erica Waters has created a story that not only draws you in but keeps you to the end. The characters feel so real and multidimensional, even the ones who appear for moments. The truth of the mystery was revealed and I could feel my heart racing with these girls. The world is told in such wonderfully subtle ways as to be understood without slowing the pacing in any way. I don’t want to reveal too much, but if you enjoy queer characters absolutely kicking butt, this is the book for you.

Interesting premise, OK execution, maybe better for teens?
The premise of this story is interesting: murder mystery with a twist of magic. However the story was predictable. I immediately knew who the murderer was at first introduction. I didn’t feel the story needed two narrators. This led to a lot of repetition. Also, the narrative often stated the obvious, never letting the reader deduce anything for themself.
I appreciate the author’s attempt to be inclusive and feminist, however it felt too forced and on-the-nose. Besides the two main characters who were white, queer girls, the other characters felt like there was a checklist of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ characters to check off. They made brief appearances and were not well developed. Also, I don’t equate feminism with man-hating. This book is definitely man-hating.
Between the two main characters, I really liked Della. She balanced strength, independence, intelligence, and fear. Natasha, on the other hand, was really annoying and whiny. Maybe it was the way the narrators acted her out, or maybe teenage readers would appreciate her more.

Gripping and Suspenseful
This story kept me on my toes from the opening scene to the epilogue. It’s a thrilling mystery that weaves witchcraft and elemental magic into a thoughtful exploration of power and injustice. Waters does a wonderful job crafting the novel’s primary setting, ‘the Bend’, a wild space amidst a Tennessee nature park, and her inclusion of characters with diverse backgrounds and orientations is refreshing. The performance was well done, with different actors voicing Della and Natasha, the story’s two main characters. Definitely a worthwhile listen.
