Description
⭐ "Lourey expertly concocts a Gothic fusion of long-held secrets, melancholy, and resolve..." ―Publishers Weekly
⭐ "Think Alice Hoffman...spell-binding!" ―Midwest Book Review
Faith Falls is a snug little Minnesota town constructed over a mystery, a place where the most impressive building is the Catalain's gorgeous Victorian mansion on the hill. The Catalain witches have an uneasy truce with the people of Faith Falls, who don't trust them but sneak to mansion's back door to barter for their kitchen magic and love potions.
When the Catalain's prodigal daughter returns to Faith Falls, a mysterious bluesman on her heels, all the bad blood boils to the surface, dredging up secrets, bitter curses, and a decades-old, unsolved murder. The Catalain women must find a way to heal their bond and make peace with their past, or they'll lose everything.
This lush, intoxicating tale weaves together mystery, romance, and magic. BONUS includes beautifully illustrated spells from the Book of Secrets.
